WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L is a managed Catalyst 2960-SF access switch with 48 10/100 Ethernet PoE+ ports, four fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks and the LAN Base software image. The copper connections serve Fast Ethernet endpoints; the uplinks do not make the access ports Gigabit-capable. Cisco Catalyst 2960-SF hardware supports optional FlexStack connections for installations that need several switches managed together. The discontinued WS-C2960S-F48FPS-L differs principally in endpoint power allocation, providing a larger shared power budget. Both models belong to a discontinued generation, so an order should distinguish legacy hardware continuity from a current-generation migration.

370W of shared PoE output requires allocation across connected devices rather than an assumption that every powered port can deliver its maximum simultaneously. Power negotiation, reservation and per-port policing support that allocation. WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L also provides an Ethernet management connection, an RJ-45 console connection and a USB mini-Type B console connection. The internal AC supply accepts autoranging input, but the chassis does not support an external redundant power system. Browser-based device management and the Cisco IOS command line provide separate configuration paths; network-management applications can also monitor and configure the equipment.
Specify WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and identify the required accessories on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot and PoE output under load verified; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, with terms applying; Cisco coverage ended November 30, 2020. Enterprise and volume orders can use PO acceptance, government Net-30 terms and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA regional operations.

When an existing powered access installation gains different phones or access points, port availability alone does not establish power availability. Supported allocations include 24 endpoints at 15.4W or 48 at 7.7W. Record each endpoint's requested power and specify the intended allocation before the purchase order.
When extending an existing Catalyst 2960-S installation, mixed stacking can combine its Gigabit access connections with Fast Ethernet connections from the Catalyst 2960-SF family. That arrangement retains a shared management structure rather than creating independent switches. Verify the existing members, software compatibility and physical stack connections before specifying another member.
Gigabit connections for copper endpoints
The 48 copper access ports operate at 10/100 Mbps. Gigabit SFP uplinks do not provide Gigabit Ethernet speeds to directly connected copper endpoints.
Redundant power for uninterrupted operation
The internal supply has no external redundant power system support on this model. A requirement for a second independent power source needs different hardware.

WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-SF switch: F denotes the Fast Ethernet configuration, 48 identifies its access-port count, the LPS configuration provides 370W of shared PoE power with four SFP uplinks, and the final -L identifies the LAN Base software image.
WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L supports browser-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI through console or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant and SNMP management. Other management applications include CiscoWorks LMS, CiscoView and Cisco Configuration Engine. Physical management connections include Ethernet, RJ-45 console and USB mini-Type B console.
WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L is discontinued, with end of sale on November 6, 2015, and Cisco support ending November 30, 2020. Security support ended November 5, 2018. An available unit can still serve a legacy requirement, but Cisco service coverage has ended.
ORM offers WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco hardware warranty coverage ended November 30, 2020.
WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L supports an allocation of 12 ports at 30W within its shared 370W power budget. All 48 access ports support powered connections, but the available budget must be distributed among them. Endpoint count therefore depends on requested power, not merely occupied ports.
The WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L Catalyst 2960-SF configuration provides four fixed 1G SFP uplink slots, separate from its Fast Ethernet copper access ports. These are not 10G SFP+ uplinks. Specify compatible SFP connections for the intended link rather than treating the slots as removable uplink-card bays.
The Catalyst 2960-SF LAN Base switch supports FlexStack, with four members in a stack and optional stacking hardware. C2960S-F-STACK is the corresponding Fast Ethernet stacking module. Mixed Catalyst 2960-S and Catalyst 2960-SF stacks can combine Gigabit and Fast Ethernet access connections under shared management.
WS-C2960S-F48FPS-L provides a 740W shared PoE budget, compared with 370W on WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L. Both are discontinued 48-port Fast Ethernet LAN Base models with four SFP uplinks. The former addresses larger legacy power allocations; the latter suits an allocation that remains within its smaller budget.
WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L carries LAN Base, whereas WS-C2960S-F48TS-S carries LAN Lite. These are distinct hardware configurations, not interchangeable software labels. The LAN Base model serves powered legacy connections; the LAN Lite model serves unpowered connections and has two SFP slots rather than four. Both are discontinued.
WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L is an unsupported legacy switch, while C9200L-48PL-4G is the migration target reached through its discontinued direct replacement, WS-C2960X-48LPS-L. The legacy model addresses an existing hardware requirement; the migration target requires a separate configuration review rather than an assumption of identical software and accessories.
