WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is a managed Layer 2 Cisco access switch built around 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplink slots. The fixed uplink design suits wiring closets that hand traffic northbound over fiber without separate network modules, while the 370W power budget supports a mixed population of phones, access points, cameras, and user endpoints. Its rack-mount 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series, a LAN Base access platform for enterprise switching teams that still standardize on Cisco IOS access workflows. The model gives buyers a dense powered edge with integrated copper access, fiber handoff, optional stack integration, and 52 fixed ports in the same chassis. Compared with WS-C2960X-48FPS-L, this model carries a 370W PoE budget instead of 740W, making power allocation the documented difference between the two 48-port SFP-uplink siblings.
216 Gbps switching capacity delivers full-duplex capacity for the 2960-X LAN Base hardware profile. 107.1 Mpps forwarding rate handles 64-byte packet forwarding for this exact 48-port model, and 370W PoE budget is allocated across the powered copper edge rather than reserved as 30W on every port at once. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L carries 512 MB DRAM, 128 MB flash, USB and RJ-45 console access, a 10/100 management interface, auto-ranging 100-240V AC input, and Cisco IOS management through CLI, web UI, SNMP, Cisco Prime, Cisco Network Plug and Play, or Cisco DNA Center. LAN Base operation centers on advanced Layer 2 services such as STP/RSTP/MSTP, 802.1Q VLANs, LACP, 802.1X authentication, ACLs, RMON, TACACS+, RADIUS, and SNMPv3-secured administration. 80 Gbps stack bandwidth supports consolidated access operation when FlexStack-Plus hardware is installed. The 16000-entry MAC table, jumbo-frame support, 490W planning maximum, and 1G SFP uplink layout fit campus edge designs that aggregate endpoint VLANs before distribution.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L operates at the enterprise access tier, connecting copper endpoint runs to distribution switches through fixed SFP uplinks. FlexStack-Plus support lets compatible LAN Base units operate as one access block, and the 1U rack footprint keeps wiring-closet port density predictable during refresh or expansion work. Endpoint mixes can include phones, access points, cameras, printers, workstations, and other powered devices where PoE draw is planned against the shared switch budget. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurbishment checks focused on port status, PoE delivery, SFP recognition, fan behavior, power operation, licensing state, and cosmetic condition. Rack kits, power cords, 1G optics, and stack accessories can be aligned with staged rollout schedules across large repeated closet builds. Send quantity, condition, accessory, and delivery requirements to ORM Systems for pricing; enterprise and volume buyers receive matched sourcing support for multi-site Catalyst access deployments.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L price is $850.00, a 90.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $9,136.00. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

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.
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.
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.

WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is a Cisco Catalyst 2960-X fixed-configuration access switch with 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports, 4 x 1G SFP uplink slots, LAN Base software, and a 370W PoE budget. It is built for enterprise access switching where copper endpoints need Gigabit connectivity and centrally managed Power over Ethernet from a wiring closet.
The WS-C2960X-48LPS-L model number identifies a Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, PoE+ power, 4 SFP uplink slots, and the LAN Base feature set. The LPS portion distinguishes it from higher PoE budget or SFP+ uplink variants, while the final L denotes LAN Base licensing in this family.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is a managed Ethernet switch, not a router or pluggable module. It sits in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X access switch family and provides Layer 2 access connectivity, PoE+ endpoint power, SFP uplink slots, CLI and SNMP management, and optional stacking through Cisco FlexStack-Plus hardware.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L sits in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X access layer lineup, above basic LAN Lite models and below 2960-XR IP Lite models that add broader Layer 3 functions. It is a LAN Base model, so it targets managed enterprise access deployments needing advanced Layer 2 features, stacking support, and PoE+ powered endpoints.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L provides 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet access ports for copper endpoint connections and 4 SFP module slots for 1G fiber uplinks. The 48 access ports support PoE+, making the switch suitable for IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, badge readers, and other powered network devices that connect through standard twisted-pair cabling.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L uses the 2960-X LAN Base performance profile with 216 Gbps switching bandwidth and 108 Gbps forwarding bandwidth. Cisco lists the forwarding rate for the exact WS-C2960X-48LPS-L model at 107.1 Mpps for 64-byte packets, which aligns it with other 48-port 2960-X models using 4 x 1G SFP uplinks.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L has a 370W PoE budget across its 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ access ports. Cisco documents up to 30W per port for 802.3at PoE+ devices, with the total switch power budget determining how many high-draw endpoints operate at full allocation at the same time in the access closet.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is a LAN Base switch focused on advanced Layer 2 access switching. Cisco positions LAN Base for enterprise Layer 2 functions, while IP Lite Layer 3 feature support belongs to Catalyst 2960-XR models. For access VLANs, trunks, Spanning Tree, security controls, and PoE endpoint policy, this SKU fits the intended role.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is managed through Cisco IOS CLI, web UI, SNMP, RJ-45 console, USB console, and the dedicated 10/100 management interface. Cisco also lists management integration with Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Network Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center, with the required platform licensing handled separately from the switch hardware.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L supports optional stacking through Cisco FlexStack-Plus. Cisco lists 2960-X LAN Base models as stackable, with up to eight switches and 80 Gbps stack bandwidth when compatible FlexStack-Plus modules are installed. Mixed stacking with 2960-S or 2960-SF LAN Base models is supported with lower stack limits and bandwidth.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is used for access layer switching where many wired endpoints need Gigabit Ethernet and PoE+ from one rack-mounted switch. Typical connected devices include IP phones, desktop PCs, access points, surveillance cameras, printers, and building systems that require VLAN segmentation, port security, QoS, and managed uplinks to distribution switches.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L suits branch offices, campus wiring closets, and distributed access networks that need 48 powered Gigabit ports with 4 x 1G SFP uplinks. Its 370W PoE budget fits mixed endpoint loads better than dense all-port 30W designs, while optional stacking supports expansion when a closet grows beyond one switch.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L fits endpoint access workloads such as voice VLANs, wired user access, camera networks, wireless access point uplinks, printer access, and building control connectivity. It is not positioned as a data center or high-speed aggregation switch, but it handles campus access traffic where 1G edge ports and Layer 2 policy are the priority.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is suitable for replacing older 48-port access switches when the design keeps 1G copper access and 1G SFP uplinks. Buyers often choose it for standardized closet refreshes where existing endpoint cabling, SFP optics, VLAN designs, PoE devices, and Cisco IOS operational practices remain in place.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L integrates with Cisco Catalyst access and distribution environments using Ethernet, 802.1Q VLAN trunking, Spanning Tree, EtherChannel, SNMP, Syslog, TACACS+, RADIUS, and Cisco IOS management workflows. It commonly uplinks through 1G SFP optics to Catalyst distribution switches such as Catalyst 3850, 4500, 6500, 9300, or 9500 platforms.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L uses 4 SFP module slots for 1G uplinks, so Cisco-compatible 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, and other supported 1G SFP transceivers are typical choices. The exact optic should match Cisco compatibility guidance, fiber type, reach, and connector requirements before ordering, especially when reusing installed multimode or single-mode fiber.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L supports IEEE 802.3af PoE and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ on its 48 copper access ports. It therefore fits Cisco IP phones, compatible third-party phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other powered devices, provided the total planned endpoint draw stays within the 370W switch PoE budget.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L supports common campus access standards including IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, 802.1X authentication, 802.3af PoE, 802.3at PoE+, 802.3ad link aggregation, LLDP, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, and Gigabit Ethernet standards. These standards help the switch integrate into multivendor cabling plants, Cisco-managed access networks, and standard monitoring workflows for operations.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L and WS-C2960X-48FPS-L both provide 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, LAN Base software, and optional stacking. The key difference is PoE power: WS-C2960X-48LPS-L has a 370W budget, while WS-C2960X-48FPS-L has a 740W budget for heavier powered endpoint density across more ports.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L and WS-C2960X-48LPD-L both support 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports, LAN Base software, optional stacking, and a 370W PoE budget. The uplink design differs: WS-C2960X-48LPS-L uses 4 x 1G SFP slots, while WS-C2960X-48LPD-L uses 2 x 10G SFP+ slots for higher-speed distribution handoff over fewer uplink interfaces.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is the better fit when 48 access ports need PoE+ power, because it includes a 370W PoE budget. WS-C2960X-48TS-L is a 48-port data-only LAN Base switch with 4 x 1G SFP uplinks. Both suit access closets, but only the LPS model powers endpoints directly.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L doubles the copper access port count compared with WS-C2960X-24PS-L, while both models list 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, LAN Base software, optional stacking, and a 370W PoE budget. The 48-port SKU suits denser closets, while the 24-port SKU fits smaller access blocks with similar uplink and power characteristics.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is commonly sourced through the secondary market because the Catalyst 2960-X family has reached Cisco end of sale. ORM Systems lists Cisco enterprise hardware in new and refurbished supply channels when available, so condition should be confirmed at quote stage before procurement, spares planning, or a standardized rollout.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L price depends on market supply, hardware condition, tested status, included accessories, warranty term, quantity, and whether optics or stacking hardware are ordered with the switch. Because this is an end-of-sale Cisco access switch, refurbished availability and lead time often influence pricing more than a fixed manufacturer list price.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is part of the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X product family covered by Cisco's end-of-sale and end-of-life announcement. Cisco lists October 31, 2022 as the last day to order affected hardware through Cisco point-of-sale channels, with last support milestones extending according to active service contract terms.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L lead time depends on current stock, refurbishment queue, testing requirements, order quantity, and whether accessories such as rack kits, power cords, SFP optics, or FlexStack modules are included. ORM Systems should confirm the exact lead time during quotation because secondary-market Cisco switch availability changes quickly.
Bulk pricing is often relevant for WS-C2960X-48LPS-L because access closet refreshes frequently require matched quantities across multiple racks or sites. ORM Systems can price quantity requirements against available new or refurbished stock, requested warranty cover, accessory bundles, and delivery schedule, giving procurement teams a clearer per-unit cost for larger deployments.
ORM Systems warranty coverage for WS-C2960X-48LPS-L should be confirmed with the quotation, including term length, condition, and any replacement process for refurbished units. The meta guidance for ORM Systems switch content supports up to a 3-year warranty message, so buyers should align the quoted warranty with internal support expectations.
Refurbished WS-C2960X-48LPS-L hardware should be tested for boot status, port operation, PoE delivery, SFP uplink recognition, fan and power behavior, IOS image state, licensing, and cosmetic condition before dispatch. ORM Systems can document tested status during quotation so buyers know whether the switch is ready for staging, spares stock, or production replacement.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L follows the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X standards set, including IEEE Ethernet, VLAN, PoE, PoE+, link aggregation, SNMP, and authentication standards documented for the platform. Buyers should also verify regional compliance labels, power cord type, and import requirements when ordering units for deployment outside the original sales region.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L is typically staged through the Cisco IOS CLI using the RJ-45 or USB console port, then assigned management IP settings, VLANs, trunks, access ports, PoE policies, SNMP, NTP, logging, and authentication controls. Existing Cisco access templates usually transfer well when port counts, uplinks, and feature set match the design.
WS-C2960X-48LPS-L includes the LAN Base feature set as the switch software level for this SKU. Separate platform licenses are required when the deployment uses external management systems such as Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Network Plug and Play, or Cisco DNA Center. Optional FlexStack hardware is also separate from the base switch.
Common WS-C2960X-48LPS-L accessories include a compatible rack-mount kit, regional power cord, 1G SFP transceivers, fiber patch leads, console cable, and optional FlexStack-Plus module with stack cables. Buyers should confirm which accessories are included with the quoted condition because refurbished switch listings often vary by bundle.
UK buyers can purchase WS-C2960X-48LPS-L through ORM Systems as part of a Cisco access switching requirement, subject to current new or refurbished availability. The quotation should confirm unit condition, warranty, lead time, included accessories, shipping destination, and any quantity pricing needed for multi-site or closet refresh projects.
ORM Systems can support international procurement for WS-C2960X-48LPS-L when shipping, export, import, power cord, and compliance requirements are confirmed during quotation. International buyers should specify destination country, required condition, quantity, delivery deadline, and accessory needs so the correct Cisco switch configuration is priced and prepared for dispatch.
