WS-C2960S-48FPD-L combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with two fixed 10G SFP+ uplink slots in a managed Layer 2, rack-mount 1U switch. LAN Base is the installed software feature set. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S serves campus and branch access networks connecting workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and other Ethernet devices. Its fixed uplink architecture does not require a removable network card to provide uplink slots. Compared with the discontinued WS-C2960S-48LPD-L, this configuration carries a larger endpoint-power allocation while retaining the same access-port count and uplink arrangement. The 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch separates copper endpoint connectivity from fiber connections toward distribution.

176 Gbps switching capacity defines the full-duplex switching bandwidth, while 101.2 Mpps forwarding performance specifies the 64-byte packet benchmark. WS-C2960S-48FPD-L has 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for runtime operation and software storage. Support for 255 active VLANs provides the boundary for simultaneous segmentation; 4000 VLAN IDs are available for assignment. Four egress queues per port and strict priority queuing provide traffic-scheduling controls for voice and other priority applications. Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, and Port Security provide access-edge enforcement controls. 870W measured consumption at full throughput and maximum PoE loading informs facility-power planning rather than endpoint-power allocation. The internal AC supply is fixed; backup power uses an external redundant power system rather than a second internal supply bay.

When extending an existing FlexStack installation, incomplete stack cabling leaves half the bandwidth and removes redundant connections. Plan rear-panel access and the complete cable layout before adding hardware. Specify C2960S-STACK and the required CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M cable lengths on the purchase order.
For a branch rollout with a separate administration network, the dedicated Ethernet management connection operates at 10/100 Mbps. Prepare management addressing and the connection to the administration network before shipment. Include the required management patch connection in the site preparation checklist before releasing the purchase order.
When preparing a console staging bench, USB console input takes precedence over RJ-45 console input while the USB connection is present. The USB console requires a five-pin mini-Type B connection. Specify CAB-CONSOLE-USB or CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 to match the staging workstation and terminal arrangement before ordering accessories.
Endpoints requiring more than 30W
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L supports 30W per powered port. Devices requiring more than 30W from a single Ethernet connection exceed the switch's PoE+ output capability.
More than four stack members
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L supports FlexStack with a maximum of four members; a fifth member cannot join the same stack, regardless of available rack space.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco support for WS-C2960S-48FPD-L ended November 30 2020. The forward migration target is C9200L-48P-4X, through the discontinued WS-C2960X-48FPD-L intermediate replacement.

WS-C2960S-48FPD-L identifies the Catalyst 2960-S family, 48 Gigabit access ports, a 740W powered-port configuration, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and LAN Base software. WS-C2960S is the family identifier; 48 is the port count; FPD identifies that power and uplink configuration; L identifies LAN Base.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L supports the device-manager web UI, Cisco IOS CLI through console or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoView, Cisco Configuration Engine, SNMP, and Cisco Security Manager. Smart Install provides image and configuration deployment. CiscoView is purchased separately; select the administration method before staging.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L is discontinued and no longer supported by Cisco: end of sale was November 6 2015, and the last date of support was November 30 2020. Security support ended November 5 2018. Reseller availability does not restart those Cisco service or software-maintenance milestones.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960S-48FPD-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in every condition; terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime warranty support ended November 30 2020.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L comes with LAN Base, and the Catalyst 2960-S feature level is tied to the hardware model. LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Specify the complete LAN Base part number on the purchase order rather than treating the software tier as an interchangeable hardware suffix.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L provides a shared 740W PoE budget and supports 30W per port, with 24 ports operating at that maximum simultaneously. Alternatively, 48 ports can deliver 15.4W each. Size the combined endpoint demand before ordering; the per-port maximum is not available across all powered ports at once.
The Catalyst 2960-S 10G configuration represented by WS-C2960S-48FPD-L supports SFP-10G-SR=, SFP-10G-LR=, and SFP-10G-LRM= in its two SFP+ slots. Those slots also accept supported 1G SFP modules. Match the transceiver PID to the fiber installation and remote interface rather than treating every SFP-shaped module as interchangeable.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L supports a four-member FlexStack stack using optional C2960S-STACK hardware, with 20 Gbps stack throughput. Cable choices are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, and CAB-STK-E-3M. Specify the module and cable arrangement for each member, and complete the redundant stack connections rather than leaving an incomplete cable path.
The Catalyst 2960-S configuration represented by WS-C2960S-48FPD-L accepts PWR-RPS2300 through CAB-RPS2300-E for external backup power. The switch retains its internal AC supply rather than gaining a second internal PSU. Connect the switch and PWR-RPS2300 to different AC sources when configuring the backup arrangement.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L provides a 740W PoE budget, whereas WS-C2960S-48LPD-L provides 370W; both have 48 Gigabit access ports and two SFP+ uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The former suits legacy replacement orders with higher aggregate endpoint demand; the latter matches existing lower-budget configurations when that limit is acceptable.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L has two 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C2960S-48FPS-L has four 1G SFP uplinks. Both models are discontinued. The first matches legacy installations requiring 10G uplink connections; the second matches existing installations requiring four separate Gigabit fiber connections rather than the higher uplink speed.
WS-C2960S-48FPD-L has passed its Cisco support deadline, while C9200L-48P-4X is the forward migration target after discontinued WS-C2960X-48FPD-L. The former addresses an exact legacy replacement requirement; the latter addresses a migration purchase. Specify the replacement's complete configuration separately rather than carrying the old switch's software and accessories onto that order.
