WS-C2960S-48FPS-L combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with four fixed 1G SFP uplinks in a managed Layer 2 switch. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 2960-S family and ships with the LAN Base feature set for enterprise campus and branch access. IP phones, wireless access points and other standards-compliant powered endpoints share the copper access infrastructure with desktop connections. The discontinued WS-C2960S-48LPS-L is the lower-power sibling, providing 370W of endpoint power at the same access-port density. Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series Switches also provide voice traffic prioritization and access security controls, bringing endpoint connectivity, traffic handling and admission policies into the access-layer configuration rather than requiring an unmanaged connection device.

176 Gbps switching capacity provides the full-duplex bandwidth reference for traffic sizing, while 77.4 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets. 740W of PoE budget constrains aggregate endpoint demand across the powered access connections. 870W measured consumption at full throughput with maximum PoE load provides an input-power planning reference, not a power-supply rating. WS-C2960S-48FPS-L uses 128 MB of DRAM for working memory, with 64 MB of flash providing local software storage capacity. Segmentation supports 255 active VLANs drawn from 4000 available VLAN IDs, while 9216-byte Ethernet jumbo frames accommodate larger frame settings. The CLI supports detailed configuration, and SNMP v1, v2c and v3 provide management monitoring alongside Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard address endpoint access and address spoofing. SRR scheduling and WTD congestion avoidance manage traffic queues, including four egress queues per port with strict priority queuing. SFP+ uplinks are not included in this configuration.
Order WS-C2960S-48FPS-L new sealed or certified refurbished, specifying condition and quantity on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units include up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished units up to 1 year; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply, while Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty has ended and Cisco service ended November 30, 2020. For enterprise and volume orders, identify required accessories and quantities; POs are accepted, government customers receive Net-30 and RMA includes advance replacement.

A rollout adding higher-draw phones or wireless access points needs endpoint power allocations rather than a simple connector count. WS-C2960S-48FPS-L supports 24 ports at 30W, with flexible allocation across connected devices. List each endpoint's negotiated draw and simultaneous operating requirement before specifying the powered-port assignment on the purchase order.
When an installed FlexStack group needs another member, the 20 Gbps stack throughput remains a sizing constraint. Added members automatically adopt the stack's Cisco IOS version before joining. Confirm the existing image, available member position and maintenance window before specifying the additional chassis on the purchase order.
When an installed WS-C2960S-48FPS-L estate needs regional replacement stock, ORM provides stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US and MEA. Separate site quantities from central spares so destinations and replacement ownership are explicit. Specify condition, regional allocation and required spare quantities before issuing the purchase order.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L has fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ connections. C9200L-48P-4X is the current migration option with SFP+ uplinks and 48 PoE+ access ports.
30W across every access port
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L supports 24 ports at 30W, not 48 simultaneously. Its 740W shared budget limits concurrent endpoint power even though all access ports support PoE+.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco service for WS-C2960S-48FPS-L ended November 30, 2020. C9200L-48P-4G is the current successor after discontinued WS-C2960X-48FPS-L; use that generation when manufacturer support is required.

WS-C2960S-48FPS-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-S 48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with four 1G SFP uplinks and LAN Base software. WS-C2960S is the family prefix; 48 identifies the access-port count; FP corresponds to the 740W PoE configuration; S identifies SFP uplinks; and the final L denotes LAN Base.
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L is managed through the Cisco IOS CLI, console access, Telnet, SNMP and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Local console connections use CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45 or CAB-CONSOLE-USB. SNMP v1, v2c and v3 support monitoring, while the CLI handles detailed configuration and administration rather than operating as an unmanaged switch.
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L is discontinued: end of sale was November 6, 2015, and Cisco service ended November 30, 2020. Software maintenance ended November 5, 2016, and security support ended November 5, 2018. Its immediate replacement, WS-C2960X-48FPS-L, is also discontinued; the current migration chain ends at C9200L-48P-4G.
ORM offers WS-C2960S-48FPS-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty has ended, with Cisco service ending November 30, 2020. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L ships with the LAN Base Cisco IOS feature set, and its feature level is tied to the hardware model. The Catalyst 2960-S family also contains LAN Lite models with reduced functionality and scalability. LAN Lite hardware cannot be upgraded to LAN Base, so the feature set must match the purchase requirement.
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L provides 740W of shared PoE power, supporting 24 ports at 30W or 48 ports at 15.4W. PoE+ capability is available across the access ports, but the aggregate budget does not allow every port to draw 30W simultaneously. Plan endpoint allocations against combined demand, not connector count.
Cisco Catalyst 2960S-48FPS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, and WS-C2960S-48FPS-L does not include SFP+ uplinks. The uplink layout is not a modular network-card bay. Specify compatible SFP modules for the fiber connection; replacing a transceiver does not change the uplink speed class or add ports.
Catalyst 2960-S LAN Base models support FlexStack with four members and require optional C2960S-STACK. Stack links use CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M in 0.5 m, 1 m or 3 m lengths. FlexStack provides 20 Gbps stack throughput and permits mixed stacks with Catalyst 2960-SF switches; check existing members before adding hardware.
The Catalyst 2960-S 48-port PoE+ configuration is a 1U rack-mount switch measuring 445 mm wide, 386 mm deep and 45 mm high, with a 5.9 kg weight. RCKMNT-1RU= is the spare rack-mount kit. Check available depth, cable clearance and mounting hardware before assigning the chassis to a rack position.
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L supplies 740W of PoE power, where discontinued WS-C2960S-48LPS-L supplies 370W. Both are 48-port Gigabit configurations with four SFP uplinks and LAN Base software. The higher-budget model matches legacy spare purchases for larger powered endpoint loads; the lower-budget model matches sites already operating with smaller power allocations.
WS-C2960S-48FPS-L has four 1G SFP uplinks, where discontinued WS-C2960S-48FPD-L has two 10G SFP+ uplinks. Both models are discontinued and retain the same 48-port Gigabit access layout. Legacy spares for existing 10G connections require the SFP+ configuration; installations retaining four 1G uplink connections require the SFP configuration.
C9200L-48P-4G is the current migration endpoint, whereas WS-C2960S-48FPS-L is discontinued and Cisco service ended November 30, 2020. The intermediate replacement, WS-C2960X-48FPS-L, also reached end of sale on October 31, 2022. The older model suits exact installed-base sparing; C9200L-48P-4G suits buyers moving to the current replacement generation.
