Campus Access for Powered Endpoints and Fiber Handoffs
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is a fixed 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch with four 1G SFP uplinks, LAN Base, and optional FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended stacking. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X serves managed enterprise access in campus and branch wiring closets where IP phones, access points, cameras, and user ports share a 370W PoE budget. Its rack-mount 1U chassis keeps uplinks fixed rather than modular, so SFP selection should match the installed fiber handoff. Catalyst 2960X-48LPS-L sits beside WS-C2960X-48FPS-L, which keeps the same four 1G SFP uplink format but raises available PoE power to 740W for higher endpoint draw.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L price for new stock is $3,092.25, a 66.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,136.00. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L refurb price is $189.00. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
216 Gbps switching capacity and 107.1 Mpps forwarding support line-rate campus access with 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports and fixed SFP uplinks. 370W PoE allocation supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at endpoints with Perpetual PoE during a reload. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L uses Cisco IOS with 512 MB DRAM, 128 MB flash, 16000 unicast MAC addresses, 1023 active VLANs, and 3000 IPv4 routes under the LAN Base default template. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3, PBR, PIM SM, PIM-DM, PIM Sparse-Dense Mode, and SSM are supported; EIGRP Stub, HSRP, and VRRP belong to 2960-XR IP Lite models. Management uses Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI, SNMP, Bluetooth access, and RJ-45 or USB console ports. FlexStack-Plus stacks eight LAN Base members at 80 Gbps with C2960X-STACK, while FlexStack-Extended uses C2960X-FIBER-STK or C2960X-HYBRID-STK for 40 Gbps stacks.

WS-C2960X-48LPS-L Use Case
Powered Access Closet
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L sits at the campus or branch access layer and terminates copper runs from IP phones, workstations, cameras, printers, and access points on 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports. Engineers apply voice VLANs, data VLANs, port security, QoS markings, 802.1X policy, and per-port PoE budgeting at the wiring closet. The 370W PoE budget supports mixed powered endpoint loads while four 1G SFP slots hand traffic northbound toward distribution switches. The network gains a dense powered edge with consistent Layer 2 policy enforcement.
Access to Distribution Handoff
The switch operates as a fixed access switch feeding distribution through four 1G SFP uplink slots. Network teams connect fiber transceivers to upstream Catalyst distribution switches, then configure trunks, spanning tree behavior, EtherChannel where the design requires it, and VLAN boundaries for endpoint segments. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L keeps 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports separate from the uplink path, which simplifies closet refresh work across repeated sites. The topology gains predictable endpoint aggregation without changing copper runs already deployed at the access edge.
Stacked Access Operations Plane
Several Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches form a FlexStack-Plus access block when a closet needs more ports under one management domain. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L contributes 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, four 1G SFP uplinks, and a 370W PoE budget per switch, while the optional stacking module supports unified operation across compatible members. Engineers standardize IOS images, stack cabling, VLAN design, PoE allocation, and uplink placement before each expansion cycle. The operations team gains higher port density with fewer standalone switch touchpoints overall.
Best For
Endpoint Power Sizing
An access closet with phones, cameras, and APs can fill 48 Gigabit ports before the PoE pool is exhausted. The 370W allocation maps to 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W, so confirm endpoint classes and reserve budget before the PO.
Stack Expansion
An existing LAN Base access stack can add another 2960-X member when the stack kit and cable are specified. C2960X-STACK gives FlexStack-Plus 80 Gbps stacking across eight members; mixed 2960-S/SF LAN Base stacks drop to four members and 40 Gbps, so order CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M deliberately.
Legacy Replacement
A site replacing WS-C2960S-48LPS-L or WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L can preserve the 48-port Gigabit PoE, 370W, 4 x 1G SFP, LAN Base profile named for the successor generation. The model itself is past end of sale, so confirm the 31 October 2027 support endpoint before the PO.
Not Suitable If
10G uplinks to distribution
Fixed uplinks are four 1G SFP slots; C9200L-48PL-4X is the named current successor for the 48-port 370W 10G-uplink migration path.
Full 48-port PoE+ draw
370W supports 12 ports at 30W, not 48 at full PoE+; C9200L-48P-4G is the named successor for the 740W 48-port PoE+ model.
Internal PSU redundancy
The 2960-X chassis has one fixed internal power supply and only optional PWR-RPS2300 external backup; choose a platform with built-in redundant supplies instead.

Does WS-C2960X-48LPS-L support PoE+ on all 48 ports?
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L has 48 PoE+ capable Gigabit Ethernet ports, but the shared power budget is 370W. That budget supports 12 ports at 30W PoE+ or 24 ports at 15.4W PoE, so a full 48-port build needs endpoint power classes checked before ordering.
How many uplinks does WS-C2960X-48LPS-L have?
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The SFP slots support SFP modules only, not SFP+ modules. Supported examples for this model group include GLC-BX-D=, GLC-BX-U=, GLC-LH-SMD=, GLC-SX-MMD=, GLC-EX-SMD=, GLC-ZX-SMD=, GLC-T=, and CWDM-SFP variants.
Can Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches stack?
Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base switches stack with C2960X-STACK FlexStack-Plus for eight members at 80 Gbps. FlexStack-Extended uses C2960X-FIBER-STK or C2960X-HYBRID-STK at 40 Gbps, and copper stacking uses CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M cables. Mixed 2960-S/SF LAN Base stacks are four members at 40 Gbps.
Which licensing paths exist for WS-C2960X-48LPS-L?
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L ships with LAN Base, and that feature level cannot be upgraded to IP Lite. Cisco DNA Essentials is the add-on path for 48-port 2960-X models, using C2960X-DNA-E-48= term licenses or fixed C2960X-DNA-E-48-3Y and C2960X-DNA-E-48-5Y terms.
What older PID does WS-C2960X-48LPS-L replace?
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is named as the replacement for WS-C2960S-48LPS-L and WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L. Both older models were 48-port PoE 370W LAN Base switches with SFP uplinks, so the replacement preserves the main access-port and uplink profile while moving to the 2960-X generation.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-48LPS-L and WS-C2960X-48FPS-L?
WS-C2960X-48FPS-L provides 740W of available PoE power where WS-C2960X-48LPS-L provides 370W. Both are LAN Base 48-port Gigabit PoE models with four 1G SFP uplinks. Choose the 370W model for lower endpoint draw, and the 740W model when more ports must deliver higher PoE loads.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-48LPS-L and WS-C2960X-48LPD-L?
WS-C2960X-48LPD-L carries two 10G SFP+ uplinks where WS-C2960X-48LPS-L carries four 1G SFP uplinks. Both are 48-port Gigabit PoE 370W LAN Base switches. The SFP model fits more 1G fiber handoffs, while the SFP+ model fits fewer but faster distribution links.
What is the difference between WS-C2960X-48LPS-L and C9200L-48PL-4G?
C9200L-48PL-4G is the named replacement PID for WS-C2960X-48LPS-L in the 2960-X lifecycle notice. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is past end of sale with Cisco support ending 31 October 2027. The 2960-X model fits like-for-like sparing, while C9200L-48PL-4G fits new standardization.
