WS-C2960S-48TS-L is a fixed-configuration Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet access switch with 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The non-PoE design fits data-only campus and branch access rows where endpoint power is supplied elsewhere, while the Rack-Mount 1U chassis keeps the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series form factor for existing wiring closets. LAN Base software gives the Cisco Catalyst 2960S-48TS-L the management and scalability tier used by FlexStack-capable models, and the four SFP cages support fiber uplinks without a modular uplink card. Cisco Catalyst 2960S-48LPS-L is the closest four-SFP sibling when 370W PoE is required; this model keeps the same 48-port access density without powered ports.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L price for new stock is $719.25, a 22.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $924.75. WS-C2960S-48TS-L refurb price is $76.65. WS-C2960S-48TS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 77.4 Mpps forwarding performance put the Catalyst 2960-S 48-port LAN Base switch in its performance column, with 88 Gbps forwarding bandwidth and jumbo Ethernet frames to 9216 bytes. 20 Gbps FlexStack throughput supports four-member stacks when C2960S-STACK modules and CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M cables are installed, and mixed 2960-S/2960-SF stacks are permitted. WS-C2960S-48TS-L carries 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash, with 255 active VLANs available under LAN Base. CLI management, Cisco Prime Infrastructure workflows, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Telnet, HTTP, Smart Install, Auto Smartports, Smart Call Home, EnergyWise, Port Security, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, IPv6 First-Hop Security, SRR scheduling, WTD, RMON, and EtherChannel are present on the platform. The internal auto-ranging AC supply draws 52W at full throughput and can attach to PWR-RPS2300 for external redundant power.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L is available from ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished stock. Refurbished managed units are inspected and bench-tested, firmware verified, wiped to factory default, and checked for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, and PSU status. Specify condition, RCKMNT-1RU=, C2960S-STACK, CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, CAB-STK-E-3M, and SFP optics on the purchase order. New units can carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying; PO is accepted, Net-30 is available for government, RMA includes advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA coverage spans the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

A site replacing WS-C2960G-48TC-L can keep 48 copper access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks with the successor generation named for that retired model. Confirm LAN Base images and 1U depth against the existing rack, then specify SFP optics and any RCKMNT-1RU= spares before the PO.
An existing 2960-S LAN Base stack can add a matching data-only member only when C2960S-STACK is present and CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M cable length fits the rack. FlexStack caps the stack at four members, so check module inventory before the PO.
A branch closet with powered endpoints on injectors or separate midspans can standardize data access on 48 RJ-45 Gigabit ports while reserving four 1G SFP uplinks for distribution. Size the rack power for 52W switch draw and verify the PWR-RPS2300 requirement before ordering spares.
PoE endpoint power
The switch provides no PoE budget. For a current 48-port PoE+ Base Switch path, use C9200L-48P-4G instead of the discontinued 2960-S hardware.
10G fiber uplinks
Fixed uplinks are four 1G SFP slots, not SFP+. For a current 48-port data-only SFP+ path, use C9200L-48T-4X.
Cisco support coverage
Cisco hardware service for this model ended November 30, 2020. For an active successor path in new data-only deployments, use C9200L-48T-4G.
Stacks above four members
FlexStack supports up to four 2960-S or 2960-SF switches in one stack, so a larger single-control-plane access stack needs a different platform.

WS-C2960S-48TS-L means a Catalyst 2960-S switch with 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces, four SFP uplinks, and LAN Base. WS-C2960S identifies the 2960-S hardware family, 48 maps to access-port count, TS maps to the SFP uplink configuration, and L maps to LAN Base.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L is managed through Cisco IOS CLI, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, SNMP MIBs, Telnet, HTTP, Smart Install, Auto Smartports, and Smart Call Home. The model is managed, not unmanaged, so certified refurbished units can be firmware verified and wiped before shipment.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L is past end of sale and end of support. End of sale was November 6, 2015, the last ship date was February 4, 2016, software maintenance ended November 5, 2016, and the last date of support was November 30, 2020.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L is offered by ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage ended with the November 30, 2020 last date of support; ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L uses the LAN Base Cisco IOS feature set. The 2960-S family ties each hardware model to a feature level, and LAN Lite models cannot be upgraded to LAN Base, so stocking the -L model matters for FlexStack-capable LAN Base environments.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L replaced WS-C2960G-48TC-L in the 2960G retirement path. The older model was described with 48 10/100/1000 ports and four T/SFP uplinks, while the replacement carries 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, four SFP uplinks, and LAN Base.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L does not support PoE or PoE+. The configuration carries no available PoE power for this PID, so every access port is data-only. Use a PoE-capable model when phones, access points, cameras, or other powered endpoints must draw power from the switch.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. They are SFP slots, not SFP+ slots, and they are built into the switch rather than supplied by a removable uplink module. Match SFP optics to the supported SFP module compatibility for the installed software release.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L can stack with Cisco FlexStack when the optional C2960S-STACK module is installed. FlexStack supports up to four 2960-S switches, uses CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M cables, and can mix 2960-S and 2960-SF members in one stack.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L uses an internal auto-ranging AC power supply with 100 to 240V AC input. Measured draw is 52W at 100 percent throughput, and the switch also has a 12V DC RPS input for use with PWR-RPS2300 external redundant power.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L is a Rack-Mount 1U switch. The chassis measures 45 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 300 mm deep, and it weighs 4.8 kg. RCKMNT-1RU= is the spare rack-mount kit for Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S switches.
WS-C2960S-48LPS-L provides 370W of available PoE power where WS-C2960S-48TS-L is non-PoE. Both are 48-port LAN Base models with four SFP uplinks and optional FlexStack; choose WS-C2960S-48LPS-L for powered endpoints and WS-C2960S-48TS-L for data-only access closets.
WS-C2960S-48TS-L carries LAN Base, four SFP uplinks, and optional FlexStack, while WS-C2960S-48TS-S carries LAN Lite, two SFP uplinks, and no FlexStack. Choose WS-C2960S-48TS-L for LAN Base stacks and WS-C2960S-48TS-S for basic standalone 48-port LAN Lite access.
C9200L-48T-4G is the forward replacement path after WS-C2960S-48TS-L and WS-C2960X-48TS-L; it is a Catalyst 9200L 48-port data-only Base Switch. WS-C2960S-48TS-L suits like-for-like 2960-S spares, while C9200L-48T-4G suits current data-only refresh projects.
