WS-C2960S-48LPD-L is a managed access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and two fixed SFP+ uplinks supporting 1G or 10G connections. The rack-mount configuration belongs to the Catalyst 2960-S family and includes the LAN Base software feature set. Its access connections accommodate computers, IP phones and standards-compliant powered wireless access points. WS-C2960S-48FPD-L differs principally in its larger endpoint-power budget; both models are discontinued. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch separates copper endpoint connections from fiber uplinks without requiring a removable uplink card. The fixed configuration is relevant when matching an existing installation rather than selecting a new platform with an ongoing Cisco support lifecycle.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L price for new stock is $98.77, a 51.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $202.75. WS-C2960S-48LPD-L refurb price is $113.40. WS-C2960S-48LPD-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity provides the full-duplex switching bandwidth for this LAN Base configuration. 101.2 Mpps forwarding performance characterizes handling of 64-byte packets. 370W of shared PoE power requires endpoint demand to be allocated across the powered connections rather than treating each connection's maximum as simultaneously available. WS-C2960S-48LPD-L contains 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for software operation and image storage. Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard provide controls for endpoint access and address validation. Local administration can use the RJ-45 or USB console connection, providing a configuration path before remote management is established. 466W measured consumption at full throughput with maximum possible PoE loading provides an electrical-planning reference that includes endpoint power rather than only the switch's internal consumption.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960S-48LPD-L in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with new orders carrying up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished orders carrying up to a 1-year warranty; both include 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot and rated-speed port links, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition checked, firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify this switch's condition, quantity and required accessories on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When replacing an access switch serving a mixture of powered endpoints, distinguish connection count from simultaneous maximum-power demand. The endpoint allocation supports 12 connections at 30W or 24 at 15.4W. Prepare an endpoint inventory with each device's requested power, then specify the intended allocation before issuing the purchase order.
When purchasing equipment to reproduce an existing network in a staging lab, include frame-size settings in the acceptance plan rather than testing only link establishment. Ethernet jumbo frames reach 9216 bytes. Record the production setting, identify the connected equipment that must match it, and specify the validation procedure before the purchase order.
Endpoints requiring more than 30W
PoE+ output is limited to 30W per port. Endpoints requiring higher input power cannot obtain their full required allocation from an individual powered connection.
More than four stack members
FlexStack supports four members in a Catalyst 2960-S stack. A requirement for a larger single stack exceeds this configuration's supported member count.
Continuing Cisco hardware support
Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. C9200L-48PL-4X is the forward migration target; the intermediate WS-C2960X-48LPD-L is also discontinued and ends support October 31, 2027.

WS-C2960S-48LPD-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-S configuration: WS-C2960S denotes the switch family, 48 denotes the access-port count, 48LPD identifies the Gigabit PoE configuration with a 370W budget and two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and the final L identifies LAN Base. Match the complete part number when specifying replacement equipment.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L supports the web-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI through console or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoView and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Establish the management address and credentials during staging. Local console access provides an administration path before the remote management connection has been configured.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L reached end of sale on November 6, 2015, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. Its direct replacement, WS-C2960X-48LPD-L, is also discontinued. The forward migration target is C9200L-48PL-4X, so distinguish a legacy replacement purchase from a migration to the newer family.
ORM offers WS-C2960S-48LPD-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with platform support on November 30, 2020; ORM's coverage is separate.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L comes with the LAN Base feature set. Catalyst 2960-S models are tied to their software feature level, and LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Specify the complete hardware part number and required feature set rather than treating a different model as a software-only substitution.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L supports 12 PoE+ devices drawing 30W each, or 24 PoE devices drawing 15.4W each, within its shared 370W allocation. Power can be distributed flexibly across the ports. Count device demand rather than assuming every powered port can deliver its maximum output simultaneously.
Catalyst 2960-S stacking requires the optional C2960S-STACK module and FlexStack cables, with four members supported. Cable choices are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M and CAB-STK-E-3M. Confirm the module and required cable lengths for each ordered unit; the base switch's stacking capability does not establish that these accessories are included.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L has two fixed SFP+ uplink cages supporting 1G or 10G connections with compatible modules. Supported SFP modules provide the lower-speed option, while SFP+ modules provide the higher-speed option. Select the connection speed and compatible transceivers to match the remote equipment before specifying the uplink components.
The Catalyst 2960-S configuration uses an internal AC supply rather than a second internal redundant supply. External backup uses PWR-RPS2300 with CAB-RPS2300-E=. Specify that external system separately when required, and connect the switch and backup system to different AC sources rather than assuming an additional internal supply can be fitted.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L provides 370W of PoE power, while WS-C2960S-48FPD-L provides 740W. Both are discontinued configurations. The former matches installations with the smaller shared endpoint allocation; the latter matches legacy installations requiring the larger allocation. Neither budget permits all 48 ports to deliver 30W simultaneously.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L includes LAN Base, whereas WS-C2960S-48TS-S includes LAN Lite. LAN Lite hardware cannot be upgraded to LAN Base, and both models are discontinued. The LAN Base model fits legacy requirements for its feature level; the LAN Lite model fits existing basic-switching installations whose configuration stays within that reduced feature set.
WS-C2960S-48LPD-L is past Cisco's last support date, while C9200L-48PL-4X is the forward migration target reached through the discontinued WS-C2960X-48LPD-L. The older switch addresses an exact legacy replacement requirement. The migration target addresses a move away from that ended support lifecycle rather than an identical hardware substitution.
