Powered Campus Access With Fixed Fiber Uplinks
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L is a discontinued 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch with managed Layer 3 features, two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, and a rack-mount 1U chassis. The Catalyst 2960-X Series serves campus and branch access networks, connecting wired clients while powering compatible IP phones and wireless access points. LAN Base is the installed network feature set, rather than the IP Lite configuration offered on the related XR models. The fixed uplink architecture does not require a removable network card to provide upstream connectivity. The discontinued WS-C2960X-48FPD-L sibling carries a 740W PoE budget while retaining the same access density and uplink arrangement; additional endpoint power allocation distinguishes that version when matching existing family hardware.
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L price for new stock is $2,989.35, a 73.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $11,406.00. WS-C2960X-48LPD-L refurb price is $204.75. WS-C2960X-48LPD-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
216 Gbps switching capacity defines the full-duplex switching bandwidth. 130.9 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte Layer 3 packets, providing a separate packet-rate measure for traffic sizing. 370W of shared PoE power supports 12 ports drawing 30W each or 24 ports drawing 15.4W each. OSPF for routed access, OSPFv3, static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, PBR, and PIM multicast modes provide routing functions; EIGRP Stub is not included in this configuration. WS-C2960X-48LPD-L uses 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash for operating state and local image storage. The MAC table accommodates 16000 learned addresses for endpoint tracking. RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 topology convergence, while NetFlow Lite exports sampled flows for traffic analysis. Out-of-band management uses a dedicated 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 interface, with RJ-45 and USB console connections for local configuration. The fixed power supply does not accept a second internal module; external backup power requires PWR-RPS2300.

WS-C2960X-48LPD-L Use Case
Access Closet Endpoint Edge
WS-C2960X-48LPD-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, 802.1X controls, QoS markings, and PoE priorities at the port edge while keeping total powered load inside the 370W budget. The two 10G SFP+ uplinks carry aggregated endpoint traffic northbound to distribution without forcing 1G uplink oversubscription. The result is a dense powered access layer with enough uplink headroom for mixed voice, data, and wireless traffic.
Access to Distribution Handoff
The switch forms the handoff point between a Gigabit endpoint block and the distribution layer. WS-C2960X-48LPD-L presents 48 access ports southbound and uses two 10G SFP+ slots for fiber or DAC uplinks into Catalyst aggregation or distribution switches. Network teams configure 802.1Q trunks, EtherChannel, spanning tree boundaries, and routed handoff where the LAN Base design permits limited routing. The 370W PoE budget remains assigned to local access endpoints. The result is a predictable access-to-distribution path that preserves copper endpoint cabling while adding 10G uplink capacity.
Stacked Access Operations Block
Multiple Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches operate as a single access block when WS-C2960X-48LPD-L is fitted with the optional FlexStack-Plus module and compatible stacking cables. Each switch contributes 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports and a 370W power budget, while the stack centralizes software version alignment, management access, and stack-wide QoS policy. Engineers standardize uplink placement and PoE load distribution across members, then manage the closet as one logical access layer. The result is higher closet density with simpler administration and fewer independent access switch configurations to maintain.
Best For
Predecessor Spare Replacement
When a spare purchase follows the retirement of WS-C2960S-48LPD-L, this model is its named replacement. The predecessor ended sale on November 6, 2015, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. Separate the retired asset record from the replacement line item, and verify the purchase condition before issuing the PO.
Mixed Stack Extension
When extending a stack that still includes discontinued Catalyst 2960-S or 2960-SF members, mixed LAN Base operation is limited to four switches and 40 Gbps stack bandwidth. Count existing members and confirm their feature sets before adding a unit; specify the mixed-stack configuration explicitly on the purchase request.
VLAN Configuration Staging
When building a staging bench for configurations with many VLANs, the switch supports 1023 active VLANs from 4096 available VLAN IDs. A configuration can use a high VLAN ID without activating every lower ID. Check the active VLAN count in the intended configuration and specify the required staging condition before the PO.
Not Suitable If
Four fixed 10G uplinks
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L provides two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks without an expansion bay. C9200L-48PL-4X provides four fixed 10G uplinks while retaining 48 Gigabit access ports.
Dual internal power supplies
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L uses one fixed internal AC supply; backup requires external PWR-RPS2300. C9200L-48PL-4X accepts a second PWR-C5-600WAC for internal power redundancy.
More than 30W per endpoint
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L supports PoE+ output up to 30W per port, so endpoints requiring higher per-port power need hardware with a matching power class.

Questions & Answers
What does the WS-C2960X-48LPD-L part number mean?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L identifies a Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switch: WS-C2960X is the family prefix, 48 indicates 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, LP identifies the 370W PoE configuration, D identifies two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and the final L identifies LAN Base. The power budget is shared rather than available at maximum draw on every port.
How is WS-C2960X-48LPD-L managed?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L supports a Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI through RJ-45 or USB console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, and optional Bluetooth access. Centralized management uses Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, or Cisco Network Plug and Play through APIC-EM. Those centralized tools require separate licensing.
Is WS-C2960X-48LPD-L discontinued?
Yes, WS-C2960X-48LPD-L is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was October 31, 2022, and the last date of support is October 31, 2027. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2023. C9200L-48PL-4X is the replacement base model; select its Network Essentials or Network Advantage ordering variant.
What licenses does WS-C2960X-48LPD-L need?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L includes model-bound LAN Base; optional add-on paths are Cisco ONE Foundation and Cisco DNA Essentials. Cisco DNA Essentials starts at three years through C2960X-DNA-E-48-3Y, with C2960X-DNA-E-48-5Y for five years. A Smart Account manages term licenses; after expiry, deactivate the add-on and reload to retain base capabilities.
Which older switch does WS-C2960X-48LPD-L replace?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L replaces the discontinued WS-C2960S-48LPD-L, a 48-port Gigabit PoE configuration with two 10G SFP+ uplinks and LAN Base. The older model ended sale on November 6, 2015, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2020. The replacement is also discontinued, so include its support horizon in the procurement decision.
How many PoE devices can the 370W Catalyst 2960-X configuration power?
The 370W Catalyst 2960-X configuration supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W, with power allocated across all 48 access ports. Lower-draw devices share the same budget. For WS-C2960X-48LPD-L, size the endpoint mix by simultaneous consumption rather than assuming every port can deliver maximum power together.
What uplinks does WS-C2960X-48LPD-L have?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, without a removable uplink network-module bay. These optical interfaces carry upstream connections separately from the 48 copper access ports. Specify compatible transceivers for the link media and reach, and verify the intended optics against the exact hardware and software release before finalizing the order.
Can WS-C2960X-48LPD-L be stacked?
Yes, WS-C2960X-48LPD-L supports eight-member FlexStack-Plus stacks at 80 Gbps using C2960X-STACK; cables are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M. FlexStack-Extended runs at 40 Gbps using C2960X-FIBER-STK or C2960X-HYBRID-STK and requires Cisco IOS 15.2(6)E or later. Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members cannot join; FlexStack-Plus mixed stacks with discontinued Catalyst 2960-S/SF members are limited to four switches.
Does the LAN Base Catalyst 2960-X support Layer 3 routing?
Yes, LAN Base Catalyst 2960-X switches support OSPF routed access, OSPFv3, static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, PBR, and PIM multicast modes. WS-C2960X-48LPD-L therefore supports Layer 3 access functions rather than switching alone. EIGRP Stub, HSRP, and VRRP belong to IP Lite Catalyst 2960-XR capabilities, not the feature set on this model.
Does WS-C2960X-48LPD-L accept a second internal power supply?
No, WS-C2960X-48LPD-L has one fixed internal AC supply; optional backup power uses external PWR-RPS2300 rather than a second internal module. The input accepts 100-240V AC. C9200L-48PL-4X accepts a second PWR-C5-600WAC for buyers requiring internal power redundancy, and the additional supply must be included specifically on the order.
What rack space does WS-C2960X-48LPD-L require?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L occupies one standard rack unit and measures 445 mm wide, 368 mm deep, and 45 mm high, with a 5.8 kg weight. RCKMNT-1RU-2KX= is the matching spare rack-mount kit. Confirm rack clearance, mounting hardware, and load capacity before selecting the installation accessories.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-48LPD-L and WS-C2960X-48FPD-L?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L provides 370W of PoE power, while WS-C2960X-48FPD-L provides 740W. Both retain 48 Gigabit access ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and both are discontinued. The 370W version fits lower aggregate endpoint draw; the 740W version is relevant when an existing installation needs greater PoE allocation without changing its uplink layout.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-48LPD-L and WS-C2960X-48TS-LL?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L includes LAN Base, while WS-C2960X-48TS-LL includes LAN Lite and cannot be upgraded to LAN Base. Both are discontinued. The LAN Lite model suits data-only replacement orders; the PoE+ model suits powered-endpoint replacements requiring the LAN Base feature set rather than the lower software tier.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-48LPD-L and C9200L-48PL-4X?
C9200L-48PL-4X provides four fixed 10G uplinks where WS-C2960X-48LPD-L provides two. The current replacement retains 48 Gigabit access ports with partial PoE+ capacity. Order C9200L-48PL-4X-E for Network Essentials or C9200L-48PL-4X-A for Network Advantage; the older model fits legacy replacement orders, while the C9200L model suits a forward refresh.
What condition and warranty options does ORM Systems offer for WS-C2960X-48LPD-L?
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960X-48LPD-L new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1-year warranty. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco’s separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty has original-owner and discontinuance restrictions; Cisco service ends October 31, 2027.
