WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ is a fanless, Layer 2+ smart managed access switch with 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The copper interfaces carry data without supplying PoE, so connected endpoints need independent power. Its Rack-Mount 1U chassis suits branch and small-office equipment racks rather than desktop mounting. The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed configuration includes the LAN Lite software image running on Cisco IOS. Built-in fiber uplink cages provide the connection points without requiring a removable network module. The discontinued WS-C2960L-SM-48PQ differs by providing PoE+ output, making endpoint power requirements the main distinction between these otherwise comparable copper-access configurations.

176 Gbps switching capacity provides the aggregate switching bandwidth for the access and uplink interfaces. 39.36W consumption at 100% traffic supplies an operating-load figure for power planning rather than a power-supply rating. Static IPv4 and IPv6 routing supports manually defined network paths; administrators must update those routes when topology changes. WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ carries 512 MB of DRAM and 256 MB of flash memory for its operating software and stored files. The Catalyst 2960-L supports 16000 MAC address entries for endpoint learning and 256 active VLANs for segmentation, with 4094 VLAN IDs available. STP/RSTP/MSTP provide spanning-tree controls, while LACP groups compatible Ethernet links. Jumbo Ethernet frames reach 10240 bytes, allowing matching frame-size settings where the connected equipment supports them. A single fixed internal AC supply powers the chassis; a second internal PSU cannot be added for power redundancy.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with refurbished units inspected and bench-tested before shipment. Refurbished units are tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, PSU status, and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished units up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on either condition; terms apply. Specify condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order; POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement for enterprise and volume orders.

When branch sites are being standardized around browser-based configuration, the restricted command-line workflow changes the staging checklist. Configuration changes belong in the web interface, while CLI access is reserved for monitoring and troubleshooting. Specify the administrative access method and validate the intended configuration workflow before issuing the purchase order.
When a lab or staging bench needs direct console access before network settings are applied, CAB-CONSOLE-USB connects a USB host to the mini-B console interface. Keep the console connection separate from the uplink bill of materials, and specify CAB-CONSOLE-USB when that connection is required for the staging procedure.
When existing sites need replacement stock rather than a new architecture, align the spare order with the installed part number and local handling requirements. ORM Systems provides regional stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Specify unit condition, destination region, and the advance-replacement requirement on the purchase order.
Power delivery to connected endpoints
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ cannot supply endpoint power through its Ethernet ports. C1300-48P-4X provides a current 48-port PoE alternative with four 10G uplinks for powered endpoint requirements.
Full command-line configuration workflows
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ restricts CLI access to monitoring and troubleshooting. Configuration workflows that depend on unrestricted command-line changes do not match its web-based Smart Managed configuration model.

WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ identifies a Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch with 48 Gigabit data ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. WS-C2960L denotes the family, SM identifies Smart Managed, and 48 denotes access-port count. The TQ configuration combines non-PoE copper ports with 10G uplinks; LAN Lite is included without an additional license suffix.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ uses the Cisco Configuration Professional web UI for configuration and a limited CLI for monitoring and troubleshooting. Access options include SSH, Telnet, RJ-45 console, USB console, Bluetooth, and SNMP. Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and Cisco Network Plug and Play provide separately licensed network-management options.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2026. The original replacement C1000-48T-4X-L is also discontinued. Following the replacement chain leads to C1300-48T-4X. Choosing new sealed stock does not extend the original Cisco support milestones.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are accepted for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco’s Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty has original-owner conditions, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch includes LAN Lite and supports optional Cisco DNA Essentials management licensing with a minimum 3-year term; 5-year and 7-year terms are also available. Add-on licenses use a Smart Account. When an add-on expires, renew it or deactivate it and reload to continue with base capabilities.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ provides four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink cages rather than a removable uplink-module bay. Optical connections require compatible transceivers and matching fiber. Specify link speed, optical reach, connector requirements, and far-end compatibility when assembling the order, and confirm the transceiver part numbers for the complete uplink bill of materials.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed 48-port switch is a Rack-Mount 1U model with a 445 mm-wide chassis. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is compatible with the 24-port and 48-port models. Confirm the bracket kit and required mounting hardware with the unit condition being ordered, particularly when matching replacement stock to an existing rack enclosure.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch supports Static IPv4 and IPv6 routing for manually defined network paths. Static routes are not automatically updated after topology changes. Plan the next-hop addresses and route-maintenance process before deployment, and distinguish basic static routing from a requirement for automatically learned routes.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ uses a single fixed internal AC power supply and does not offer a second internal supply for redundancy. The power source belongs to the chassis rather than an external adapter. Specify the appropriate AC connection and avoid adding a redundant PSU module to the purchase order.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ has non-PoE copper ports, while WS-C2960L-SM-48PQ provides PoE+ with a shared 370W budget. Both discontinued models retain 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. For existing-fleet matching, the TQ configuration serves independently powered endpoints; the PQ configuration serves endpoints requiring switch-supplied power.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ carries four 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas WS-C2960L-SM-48TS carries four 1G SFP uplinks. Both discontinued models provide 48 non-PoE Gigabit access ports. Buyers matching an existing fleet should distinguish the TQ configuration for 10G uplink connections from the TS configuration for 1G uplink connections.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ is discontinued and reaches its last Cisco support date on October 31, 2026; C1300-48T-4X is the current model at the end of its replacement chain. Both configurations provide 48 Gigabit ports and four 10G uplinks. Existing-fleet sparing favors an exact hardware match, while replacement procurement points to C1300-48T-4X.
