WS-C2960L-SM-48TS provides fanless Layer 2 access switching with 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The rack-mount 1U chassis has a single internal AC power supply and does not deliver PoE to connected endpoints. LAN Lite is the base software image. Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed Switches serve small offices and branch networks using web-oriented configuration rather than full CLI administration. This data-only configuration connects desktops and other independently powered equipment. The discontinued WS-C2960L-SM-48PS differs by providing PoE+ for endpoints requiring switch-supplied power. Within the Catalyst 2960-L family, the selected model keeps both access connections and optical uplinks at Gigabit speeds.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS price for new stock is $1,649.07. WS-C2960L-SM-48TS refurb price is $696.50. WS-C2960L-SM-48TS is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

104 Gbps switching capacity defines the throughput envelope for the installed port configuration, while 52 Gbps forwarding bandwidth describes its forwarding bandwidth separately. WS-C2960L-SM-48TS uses 512 MB DRAM for runtime operation and 256 MB flash for local software storage. A 16000-entry MAC table supports learned endpoint addresses. RSTP and MSTP handle spanning-tree operation, while LACP provides link aggregation with compatible peers. BPDU Guard shuts down PortFast-enabled interfaces receiving unexpected BPDUs, and SPAN supports traffic observation. Voice VLAN separates telephony traffic from data traffic. 33.6W consumption at 100% traffic provides a load reference for power planning. The Smart Managed implementation restricts CLI use to monitoring and troubleshooting; configuration uses the on-box web interface. Full CLI configuration is not provided by this variant.
Specify WS-C2960L-SM-48TS in new sealed or certified refurbished condition; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Put the required condition and quantity on the purchase order. New units include up to 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and supports regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Replacement PID | C1300-48T-4G |
A branch rollout that standardizes mounting hardware needs the bracket set specified alongside the switch rather than left to site installation. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX supports the 24-port and 48-port models. Before the purchase order, confirm whether the quoted condition includes RCKMNT-1RU-2KX and add that PID where required.
A multi-site configuration template needs its simultaneously active VLAN count checked before hardware is standardized. The hardware supports 256 active VLANs from 4094 available VLAN IDs, so the identifier range is not the active capacity. Review the site's required VLAN inventory and specify a template within that limit before the purchase order.
A staging purchase for applications using larger Ethernet frames needs the frame-size requirement checked before acceptance testing. The hardware supports jumbo Ethernet frames of 10240 bytes. Include the intended frame size and peer settings in the staging checklist, and specify the required test traffic before approving the purchase order.
PoE-powered phones or access points
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS supplies data connectivity without PoE output. For a current 48-port Gigabit configuration with PoE and four 1G SFP uplinks, specify C1300-48P-4G instead.
10G uplinks to the upstream network
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS has fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G uplinks. C1300-48T-4X is the current alternative with 48 Gigabit access ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks.
Full CLI configuration workflows
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS provides limited CLI access for monitoring and troubleshooting rather than full CLI configuration. Configuration workflows use the on-box web interface.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco service and security support for WS-C2960L-SM-48TS end October 31, 2026. C1300-48T-4G is the current successor for replacement procurement beyond that support boundary.

WS-C2960L-SM-48TS identifies a Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks. The WS-C2960L portion identifies the switch family, SM identifies Smart Managed, 48 is the access-port count, and TS identifies the data-only copper configuration with SFP uplinks. The included software image is LAN Lite.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS is configured through its on-box web interface, with limited CLI support for monitoring and troubleshooting. Management access includes RJ-45 and USB console, SSH or Telnet, Bluetooth, and SNMP. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Network Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center provide network management options requiring separate management licensing.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS reached end of sale October 31, 2021, and Cisco service and security support end October 31, 2026. New service attachment ended October 31, 2022, and service contract renewals ended January 29, 2026. Continued-operation purchases must account for the remaining Cisco support window rather than assume ongoing support availability.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM warranties are up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units; both have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers eligible original owners, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026; ORM coverage is separate.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TS includes LAN Lite base software, while Cisco DNA Essentials provides a term-based network management add-on. Add-on terms are three, five, or seven years, starting with C2960L-DNA-E-48-3Y for three years. Cisco Smart Accounts manage entitlements. After expiration, renew the add-on or deactivate it and reload to retain base capabilities.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed 48-port data switch WS-C2960L-SM-48TS has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The uplink interfaces are built into the chassis rather than supplied by a removable network card. Match the selected optics to the required link medium and reach; this configuration does not provide 10G uplinks.
Yes, WS-C2960L-SM-48TS is a rack-mount 1U switch measuring 445 mm wide, 44 mm high, and 240 mm deep, with a weight of 2.98 kg. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is a compatible rack-mount kit. Confirm that RCKMNT-1RU-2KX is included in the quoted order or specify that PID separately when required.
No, WS-C2960L-SM-48TS has one fixed internal AC power supply rather than redundant internal power modules. Its input voltage is 110-220V AC, and consumption at 100% traffic is 33.6W. Power planning should account for the single supply; a second internal PSU cannot be added to this configuration.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed switch supports 256 simultaneously active VLANs from 4094 available VLAN IDs. The larger identifier range does not increase the active VLAN limit. When standardizing a configuration, count the VLANs that must operate concurrently and keep that requirement within the active capacity before selecting the switch.
WS-C2960L-SM-48PS provides PoE+ on its access ports with a shared 370W budget, while WS-C2960L-SM-48TS provides data connectivity without PoE. Both models are discontinued. Legacy replacement orders for independently powered endpoints match WS-C2960L-SM-48TS; installations needing switch-supplied endpoint power match the PoE configuration, with endpoint demand checked against its shared budget.
WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960L-SM-48TS has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. WS-C2960L-SM-48TS matches legacy Gigabit uplink requirements; WS-C2960L-SM-48TQ matches legacy installations requiring the higher uplink speed. Specify the uplink requirement explicitly rather than treating the two part numbers as interchangeable.
C1300-48T-4G is the current successor in the replacement chain, while WS-C2960L-SM-48TS reached end of sale October 31, 2021. The intermediate C1000-48T-4G-L is also discontinued, with end of sale April 30, 2025. WS-C2960L-SM-48TS matches existing Smart Managed installations; C1300-48T-4G serves current replacement procurement rather than extending the discontinued chain.
The Catalyst 2960-L Smart Managed series provides RSTP, MSTP, LACP, BPDU Guard, SPAN, and voice VLAN functionality. These features address spanning-tree operation, aggregated links, edge-port protection, traffic observation, and separation of telephony traffic. The hardware supports four SPAN sessions, so monitoring requirements should fit that session limit when configuring observation points.
