Stackable Gigabit Access for Wiring Closets

WS-C2960X-48TS-L is a stackable Layer 3 Gigabit access switch with 48 fixed 10/100/1000 RJ-45 data ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and LAN Base software. The 48-port Gigabit non-PoE access switch fits wiring closets that need copper density without PoE power draw, while the 1U Catalyst 2960-X chassis supports optional FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended stacking through a rear module slot. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series runs Cisco IOS and serves campus or branch access layers where routed access, VLAN segmentation and fiber uplinks terminate at the closet edge. WS-C2960X-48LPS-L keeps the same four 1G SFP uplinks and LAN Base tier but adds 370W of PoE+ budget for powered endpoints.

WS-C2960X-48TS-L price for new stock is $838.95, a 87.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $6,850.00. WS-C2960X-48TS-L refurb price is $189.00. WS-C2960X-48TS-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Lifecycle dates published

Cisco sales ended on 31 October 2022 and support ends on 31 October 2027; replacement planning should reference C9200L-48T-4G, with Cisco Refresh PID WS-C2960X-48TSL-RF.

Stack modules separate

Stacking requires a separate C2960X-STACK, C2960X-FIBER-STK or C2960X-HYBRID-STK module; copper stacking uses CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M.

License terms separate

LAN Base is tied to the hardware and cannot be upgraded to IP Lite; Cisco DNA Essentials add-ons use C2960X-DNA-E-48=, C2960X-DNA-E-48-3Y or C2960X-DNA-E-48-5Y term licenses.

Refurb checks affect ordering

Certified refurbished units are tested for clean boot, port links, SFP bay recognition, fan status, firmware verification and configuration wipe; include separate C2960X-STACK and CAB-STK-E-0.5M lines when stacking is required.

WS-C2960X-48TS-L Use Case

Access Closet Endpoint Handoff

WS-C2960X-48TS-L sits in a wiring closet and terminates copper runs from workstations, printers, cameras with local power, and non-PoE wireless infrastructure on 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports. Engineers place VLAN assignments, 802.1X policy, QoS markings, private VLAN controls, and NetFlow Lite visibility at the access layer, then forward uplink traffic through four fixed 1G SFP ports. The LAN Base image keeps this non-PoE edge aligned with routed access and Layer 2 segmentation needs. The result is high-density copper access with controlled endpoint policy and predictable distribution handoff.

Stacked Access Block Expansion

WS-C2960X-48TS-L joins a compatible Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base stack when an access closet needs more non-PoE copper density under one management plane. Engineers install the required FlexStack-Plus or FlexStack-Extended module, align IOS versions, and build a stack that shares configuration, a single management IP address, and coordinated uplink planning. Each added unit contributes 48 Gigabit access ports and four 1G SFP uplinks to the closet design. The result is controlled access-layer growth without redesigning endpoint cabling or multiplying switch administration points.

Access to Distribution Fiber Handoff

The switch occupies the access tier and presents endpoint VLAN traffic northbound through four fixed 1G SFP uplinks toward distribution switches. Engineers match Cisco-compatible SFP optics to the fiber plant, then configure trunks, routed access links, or EtherChannel according to the campus design. The non-PoE 48-port copper layout separates endpoint switching from power delivery, which keeps this model focused on data handoff rather than powered-device budgets. The result is a predictable 1G fiber handoff from dense copper access ports into the distribution layer.

Best For

2960-S Refresh

A closet replacing WS-C2960S-48TS-L or WS-C2960S-F48TS-L can keep the 48-port Gigabit, four-uplink layout while moving to a Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base member. Verify the 31 October 2027 support date and specify required SFP module PIDs such as GLC-SX-MMD= or GLC-LH-SMD= before the PO.

Stack Extension

An installed 2960-X LAN Base stack needing another access member should match FlexStack-Plus capability, software tier and uplink speed. Order C2960X-STACK for local stacking, choose CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M, and keep the stack to eight members.

Data-Only Access

A non-PoE endpoint block with 48 copper runs and four fiber uplinks fits the data-only port layout without reserving budget for powered devices. Confirm that phones, access points or cameras are externally powered, then include supported SFP module PIDs such as GLC-SX-MMD= or GLC-LH-SMD=.

Not Suitable If

PoE+ endpoint power

WS-C2960X-48TS-L has no PoE ports or PoE budget. Use C9200L-48PL-4G for a current 48-port PoE+ replacement with 4x1G uplinks.

10G fiber uplinks

WS-C2960X-48TS-L provides four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not SFP+. Use C9200L-48T-4X for current 48-port data-only switching with SFP+ uplinks.

Cisco support after 2027

Last Date of Support is 31 October 2027 for WS-C2960X-48TS-L. Use C9200L-48T-4G when the order requires the named successor.
