WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I is a 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch with Layer 3 IP Lite capabilities and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The 1U rack-mount chassis serves campus and branch wiring closets connecting IP phones, wireless access points, and other compatible powered endpoints. Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR switches run Cisco IOS, pairing local device operation with enterprise network-management options. One PWR-C2-1025WAC ships as standard, and a second internal bay accepts another PWR-C2-1025WAC when redundant power is required. Compared with the discontinued WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I, this configuration provides a higher shared PoE allocation rather than additional access ports. Powered-device demand therefore distinguishes these configurations when matching replacement hardware to an established installation with the same access-port density.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I price for new stock is $1,573.95, a 92.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $19,942.00. WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I refurb price is $218.98. WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

216 Gbps switching capacity provides the full-duplex fabric figure for access traffic, while 130.9 Mpps forwarding performance describes processing of 64-byte Layer 3 packets. 740W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocation rather than an assumption that every connected device can draw its per-port maximum. OSPF for Routed Access is limited to 1000 dynamically learned routes; static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, and EIGRP Stub provide additional unicast options. PBR directs traffic by policy, while HSRP and VRRP provide failover for routed links. WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I stores its image in 128 MB of flash, and the default forwarding template accommodates 16000 unicast MAC addresses. Administrators can adjust SDM templates to prioritize MAC, routing, security, or QoS resources. SSH and SNMPv3 require a cryptographic image, so remote-management requirements must match the installed software before staging. The network feature set is tied to the model rather than upgraded by changing the universal image.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I is available new sealed or certified refurbished; new units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and both conditions include 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order. ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and supports enterprise and volume orders with RMA advance replacement.

In a 500-user corporate headquarters, IT deploys the WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I Catalyst 2960-XR (48 GigE PoE 740W, 2×10G SFP+, IP Lite) at each wiring closet to power 48 Wi-Fi 6 access points via 740W PoE budget. This architecture ensures zero-downtime connectivity through redundant power feeds and dual 10G uplinks, delivering uninterrupted, high-speed wireless to all employees. Outcome: Simplified centralized management, 30% lower power draw with Cisco EnergyWise, and guaranteed enterprise-grade uptime.
A nationwide retail chain implements the WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I as the network core for 24/7 HD video surveillance. Each store uses 48 GigE PoE ports to connect PTZ and fixed IP cameras, with two 10G SFP+ uplinks to the regional NVR. Cisco IP Lite software provides VLAN segmentation and QoS for video traffic, eliminating jitter and packet loss. Outcome: Centralized video management, 40% faster incident review, and PCI-compliant secure segmentation.
A financial services firm standardizes its 50 branch offices by installing the WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I switch to power IP phones, VoIP gateways, and local servers. The integrated 740W PoE supply supports up to 48 phones per site, while dual 10G SFP+ uplinks provide resilient failover to headquarters. Cisco IP Lite features enable automatic QoS prioritization for voice, ensuring crystal-clear calls and 99.999% availability. Outcome: 25% reduction in voice downtime, streamlined remote provisioning, and centralized firmware updates.
When an endpoint refresh introduces higher-draw phones or wireless access points, size the powered-device inventory before choosing quantities. The single-supply configuration supports 24 ports at 30W or 48 ports at 15.4W. Specify each device's maximum demand and intended simultaneous load before the PO.
When an existing stack spans different wiring closets, distinguish distance stacking from local copper stacking before ordering another member. FlexStack-Extended operates at 40 Gbps and requires Cisco IOS 15.2(6)E or later. Specify C2960X-FIBER-STK for fiber stacking or C2960X-HYBRID-STK for mixed copper-and-fiber connections, and confirm the intended links before the PO.
When a regional spare pool needs identical replacement hardware, standardize condition and the accessory list across locations rather than mixing incomplete orders. ORM Systems provides regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Specify quantities, destinations, and the required RMA arrangements before the PO.
PoE above 30W per endpoint
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I supplies PoE+ rather than PoE++. Powered devices requiring more than 30W per port exceed the supported endpoint power class.
Maximum PoE+ power on every port
The shared 740W budget cannot supply 48 endpoints at 30W simultaneously. C9200-48P reaches 1440W with two PWR-C6-1KWAC supplies while retaining 48 PoE+ ports.
Modular uplink-card expansion
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I has fixed uplinks and cannot accept a removable uplink card. C9200-48P provides modular uplinks, including four 10G connections through C9200-NM-4X.
Cisco support beyond October 2027
Cisco support for WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I ends October 31, 2027. C9200-48P is the current migration target for orders that should move away from this discontinued hardware.

WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I identifies a Catalyst 2960-XR configuration with 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports, 740W of shared PoE power, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and IP Lite. The WS-C2960XR prefix identifies the family; 48 gives the access-port count; FPD identifies this powered 10G-uplink configuration; and the I suffix selects IP Lite.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I supports the Cisco Configuration Professional web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console, SNMP, and Bluetooth access with an external dongle. Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco Network Plug and Play, and Cisco DNA Center provide network-level management. SSH and SNMPv3 require a cryptographic image; network-management solutions require separate licenses.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I reached end of sale on October 31, 2022, and eligible Cisco support ends October 31, 2027. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2023; vulnerability and security support ends October 31, 2027. C9200-48P is the current replacement, so distinguish existing-installation spares from forward migration purchases.
ORM Systems offers new sealed and certified refurbished WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I units, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new hardware and up to 1 year on certified refurbished hardware. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is original-owner coverage, bounded by October 31, 2027.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I includes IP Lite base capabilities, while optional feature paths use Cisco ONE Foundation or Cisco DNA Essentials. Cisco DNA Essentials offers three-year or five-year terms managed through a Smart Account. After expiration, renew the add-on or deactivate it and reload to continue operating with the base license capabilities.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I provides 740W of shared PoE power with a 30W per-port maximum. One PWR-C2-1025WAC supports 24 ports at 30W or 48 at 15.4W, with intelligent allocation across powered ports. Adding a second PWR-C2-1025WAC preserves the 740W budget after a supply failure rather than doubling the available endpoint power.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks rather than a modular uplink bay. Connection planning should match optics to the upstream interface, fiber type, and reach. A removable uplink card cannot expand the front-panel interface count, so include the required compatible optical connections in the purchase specification.
Catalyst 2960-XR FlexStack-Plus stacks eight members at 80 Gbps with C2960X-STACK. Cable choices are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, and CAB-STK-E-3M. IP Lite members stack with Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members only, not Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base or Catalyst 2960-S/SF members. Confirm the installed modules and member compatibility before extending an existing stack.
Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite supports OSPF for Routed Access, static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, and EIGRP Stub. OSPF allows one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance, with a maximum of 1000 dynamically learned routes. IPv6 options include RIPng, EIGRPv3 Stub, and PIMv6 Stub; PBR, HSRP, and VRRP also support routed-access configurations.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I provides a 740W PoE budget, while WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I provides 370W. Both discontinued configurations have 48 Gigabit access ports, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and IP Lite. The higher-budget variant suits legacy replacements with greater aggregate endpoint demand; the lower-budget variant matches installations originally sized around the smaller allocation.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I uses IP Lite, while WS-C2960XR-48FPD-L uses LAN Base. Both discontinued configurations pair 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports with 740W and two SFP+ uplinks. These variants serve legacy replacement requirements that must match the installed software feature set; the I model matches IP Lite installations, while the L model matches LAN Base installations.
WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C9200-48P uses a modular uplink bay. C9200-48P is the current successor and accepts C9200-NM-4G or C9200-NM-4X for 1G or 10G uplinks. The discontinued Catalyst 2960-XR model serves exact legacy replacements; C9200-48P suits migration orders requiring modular uplink selection.
