WS-C2960X-48FPS-L delivers the 740W PoE profile in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series, giving buyers a managed Layer 3 access switch for dense powered edge deployments. The switch provides 48 fixed 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ access ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplink ports, so fiber uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through an empty modular bay. PoE+ service is shared across the access edge from a 740W budget, with LAN Base software handling switching, security, management, and routed access functions in a single rack-mount 1U platform. Its fixed-port design fits standard wiring closets where Gigabit Ethernet endpoint access and Cisco IOS operations are already part of the network standard. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is the closest fixed-uplink sibling; it keeps the same 48 access ports and four SFP uplinks but reduces the PoE budget from 740W to 370W.
216 Gbps switching capacity supports full-duplex Gigabit access traffic across the fixed copper and SFP interfaces. 107.1 Mpps forwarding rate gives the platform a documented packet-processing baseline for routed access and inter-VLAN designs. 740W PoE budget allocates power dynamically across the 48 PoE+ ports, including 24 ports at 30W or 48 ports at 15.4W. OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3, static routing, RIPv1 and RIPv2, PIM, and PBR provide documented LAN Base routing functions without moving the switch into the Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite family. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L carries 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash, while the LAN Base SDM profile supports 16000 unicast MAC addresses, 1023 active VLANs, and 4096 VLAN IDs. RSTP, MSTP, PVRST+, Flex Links, Cross-stack EtherChannel, 802.1X, TACACS+, RADIUS, NetFlow Lite, and EnergyWise round out the operational feature set. Management access uses CLI, SNMP, web UI, RJ-45 console, USB console, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet management interface.
At the enterprise access tier, the switch aggregates workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, printers, and other RJ-45 endpoints before handing traffic to distribution through 1G SFP fiber links. FlexStack-Plus places Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches into an eight-member stack, while the 1U chassis preserves rack space across repeated closet builds and spare-unit planning. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L also supports access refresh projects where existing copper runs stay in place and distribution uplinks remain 1G. This supports repeatable closet builds where asset teams need consistent hardware revision, condition, and accessory matching. ORM Systems supplies this model new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units tested for RJ-45 port operation, PoE delivery, SFP recognition, boot status, and fan health. Request a quote with the required condition, quantity, transceivers, stacking modules, and delivery target; enterprise and volume buyers receive coordinated sourcing for access refreshes, spare pools, and multi-site switch standardisation.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L price is $850.00, a 90% saving from the Cisco list price of $8,507.00. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

WS-C2960X-48FPS-L sits in the access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and wireless access points on 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Engineers assign VLANs, QoS markings, authentication policy, and PoE limits at the port edge, then forward aggregated traffic through four 1G SFP uplinks toward distribution. The 740W PoE budget supports dense Class 3 endpoint layouts across a single 1U switch. The result is a powered access layer with predictable endpoint handoff and controlled closet power allocation.
The switch operates at the access edge and presents user, voice, camera, and wireless traffic to distribution over four 1G SFP uplinks. Network teams match each SFP to the fiber plant, configure trunks or EtherChannel according to the upstream topology, and keep endpoint cabling on fixed 10/100/1000 PoE+ copper ports. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L suits closets where 1G uplink capacity aligns with distribution design and 740W PoE covers the powered endpoint plan. The result is a stable access-to-distribution boundary for existing Gigabit campus architectures.
Several compatible Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches form a FlexStack-Plus access block when a closet needs more powered Gigabit ports under one management plane. WS-C2960X-48FPS-L contributes 48 PoE+ access ports and 740W of PoE capacity per member, while the optional stacking module supports coordinated configuration across up to eight switches. Engineers standardize IOS versions, stack cabling, VLAN layout, uplink paths, and power budgets before adding members. The result is higher access density with simpler administration and consistent policy across repeated closet builds.

The WS-C2960X-48FPS-L model number identifies a Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, full 740W PoE power, four SFP uplinks, and the LAN Base feature set. The FPS portion separates it from lower-power LPS models and from FPD models that use 10G SFP+ uplinks instead of 1G SFP uplinks.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is a managed Ethernet access switch, not a router, firewall, transceiver, or modular chassis. It terminates copper endpoint connections at the access layer and forwards traffic toward upstream distribution or core switching through SFP uplinks. Its fixed 1U form factor fits standard rack deployments in campus and branch wiring closets.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L sits in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X access-switch family, above LAN Lite 2960-X models and below newer Catalyst 9200 access switches. It uses LAN Base software, supports FlexStack-Plus stacking, and targets enterprise access deployments that require 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports with a larger 740W power budget.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L provides 48 downlink 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE+ ports for copper endpoint connections and four SFP module slots for 1G fiber or copper uplinks. The access ports use RJ-45 cabling, while the SFP slots accept compatible Cisco-supported transceiver modules selected for the required fiber or copper handoff.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L belongs to the 2960-X LAN Base performance class, which Cisco lists with 108 Gbps forwarding bandwidth and 216 Gbps full-duplex switching bandwidth. The specific WS-C2960X-48FPS-L forwarding rate is 107.1 Mpps for 64-byte Layer 3 packets, giving engineers a clear capacity baseline for access-layer sizing.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L provides a 740W PoE budget across its 48 access ports and supports IEEE 802.3af PoE and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power. Cisco states that this model supports 48 ports at full Class 3 PoE power of 15.4W each, making it suitable for dense phone, camera, and access point closets.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is primarily an access-layer Catalyst switch with Cisco IOS LAN Base software. LAN Base supports Layer 2 switching features and selected IP routing functions such as static routing and RIP, while broader routed-access designs normally use distribution switches or Catalyst models with higher feature sets for advanced Layer 3 services.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is managed through Cisco IOS CLI using console, SSH, or Telnet access, and the 2960-X family also supports Cisco Configuration Professional web UI for day-zero provisioning and monitoring. Network management integration includes Cisco Prime Infrastructure, APIC-EM Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center when the required management licensing is present.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L supports Cisco FlexStack-Plus and FlexStack-Extended capability when the optional stacking module and cables are installed. Cisco lists FlexStack-Plus for up to eight 2960-X LAN Base switches with 80 Gbps stack bandwidth, allowing multiple access switches to operate under one management plane in larger closets.
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is used at the access layer to connect wired users, IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, printers, and other Ethernet endpoints.
