WS-C2960X-48FPD-L Overview

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L is a Layer 2+ managed access switch for buyers standardising on dense Cisco PoE+ edge connectivity. It provides 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 access ports, 2 fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports, PoE+ support, and a rack-mount 1U form factor in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series. The switch runs the LAN Base software image and fits wiring closets that need Gigabit copper handoff with higher-speed fiber uplinks rather than a modular uplink bay. As a fixed-configuration model, the access and uplink layout is factory installed, while FlexStack-Plus remains an optional back-panel expansion path. The SKU is most differentiated by the 10G uplink pair and high PoE power class among 48-port LAN Base 2960-X options. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is the closest same-power sibling, and its documented difference is four fixed 1G SFP uplinks instead of the two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks on this model.

216 Gbps switching capacity delivers full-duplex headroom across the fixed copper access ports and SFP+ uplinks. 130.9 Mpps forwarding rate supports line-rate access switching for small-packet campus traffic. 740W PoE budget is allocated across standards-based powered endpoints, with Cisco documenting 24 ports at up to 30W PoE+ or 48 ports at up to 15.4W PoE. Static routing and RIPv1/v2 support place the platform in a Layer 2+ access role rather than an IP Lite aggregation role. WS-C2960X-48FPD-L carries 512 MB DRAM, 128 MB flash, a 16000-entry MAC table, 1023 active VLAN support, USB Type-B and RJ-45 console options, a USB Type-A storage interface, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management port. STP/RSTP/MSTP, PVRST+, LACP, 802.1X, SNMP, NetFlow Lite, and Cisco EnergyWise cover access control, loop prevention, link aggregation, visibility, and power policy operations. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Network Plug and Play support centralised rollout workflows when the required management licensing is in place.

At the enterprise access tier, this switch connects workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, printers, and other standards-based PoE endpoints before handing traffic to distribution over 10G fiber. FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended modules group as many as eight Catalyst 2960-X or 2960-XR switches under one stack design, while the chassis occupies one rack unit in a 19-inch cabinet. ORM Systems supplies WS-C2960X-48FPD-L new and certified refurbished for access refreshes, stack expansion, and spare-stock planning. Certified refurbished units receive port-level testing, uplink recognition checks, PoE output validation, fan inspection, management access checks, and configuration reset before dispatch. Request pricing from ORM Systems for single-unit replacement or multi-site rollouts; enterprise and volume buyers receive sourcing support for switches, stack modules, power cords, rack kits, optics, warranty requirements, and matched 2960-X estate continuity. Large orders align serialised inventory, accessory kits, and tested firmware baselines before shipment.

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L price is $850.00, a 93.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $13,056.00. WS-C2960X-48FPD-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L Use Case

Access Closet Endpoint Handoff

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and wireless access points on 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Network teams assign VLANs, QoS policies, 802.1X controls, and PoE budgets at this layer, then forward northbound traffic through two 10G SFP+ uplinks. The LAN Base image anchors standard campus access switching while the 740W budget supports dense powered endpoint plans. The result is a powered access edge with controlled policy placement and predictable distribution handoff.

Access to Distribution Handoff

The switch occupies the access tier and presents aggregated endpoint traffic to distribution switches through two 10G SFP+ uplink slots. Engineers match SFP+ optics, fiber plant, and upstream port capacity to the closet design, then configure trunks, QoS trust boundaries, and EtherChannel where the distribution design uses paired uplinks. WS-C2960X-48FPD-L keeps 48 Gigabit PoE+ endpoint ports separate from the fiber handoff role. The result is a 10G access-to-distribution path that removes the uplink constraint common in older 1G access closets.

Stacked Access Expansion Point

Several compatible Catalyst 2960-X or 2960-XR switches form a FlexStack-Plus access block when a wiring closet needs more powered copper ports under one operational view. WS-C2960X-48FPD-L contributes 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports and a 740W power budget per unit, while the optional C2960X-STACK module supports unified stack management and software alignment. Engineers standardise stack modules, stack cables, uplink allocation, VLAN templates, and PoE reservations before adding members. The result is higher access density with simpler switch administration across repeated closet builds.

Where does WS-C2960X-48FPD-L sit in the Cisco Catalyst lineup?

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L sits in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X access switching family, a fixed and stackable generation that followed older 2960-S deployments and preceded newer Catalyst 9200 access platforms. It is a LAN Base model, so it targets enterprise access switching rather than the IP Lite routing and modular power options found in Catalyst 2960-XR models.

How many ports does WS-C2960X-48FPD-L provide?

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L provides 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet access ports for copper endpoints and 2 SFP+ uplink module slots for 10G uplinks. The access ports support PoE and PoE+ power delivery. The SFP+ slots require compatible Cisco transceivers or cables selected for the upstream switch, distance, and fiber or copper media.

What switching capacity and forwarding rate does WS-C2960X-48FPD-L support?

Cisco lists the WS-C2960X-48FPD-L with the 2960-X LAN Base performance profile, including 216 Gbps switching bandwidth, 108 Gbps forwarding bandwidth, and a 130.9 Mpps forwarding rate for 64-byte packets. Those figures suit high-density access closets where 48 Gigabit endpoints feed a pair of 10G distribution uplinks.

What PoE budget does WS-C2960X-48FPD-L have?

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L has 740W of available PoE power from its fixed power supply. Cisco specifies support for 24 ports at up to 30W with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ or 48 ports at up to 15.4W with IEEE 802.3af PoE. The platform also supports dynamic PoE allocation and Perpetual PoE during reloads.

Is WS-C2960X-48FPD-L a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L is primarily an access-layer switch running the Cisco IOS LAN Base feature set. It supports common enterprise access features such as VLANs, QoS, ACLs, 802.1X, and NetFlow Lite. Designs that require the 2960-XR IP Lite feature set, modular power, or broader routing functions should compare it with WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I.

How is WS-C2960X-48FPD-L managed?

WS-C2960X-48FPD-L is managed through Cisco IOS CLI, console access, web-based tools, SNMP, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Cisco Network Plug and Play where the required management platform licensing is present.
