WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks in a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR Series serves campus and branch networks, with IP Lite supplying the hardware-bound network feature set. Its full-width 1U chassis supports rack installation, while the uplink cages are built in rather than supplied by a removable network card. Wired workstations can share the access configuration with powered phones and wireless access points. The discontinued WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I provides a larger single-supply PoE budget for a different endpoint load. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch therefore requires separate consideration of endpoint connectivity, aggregate power demand, and existing uplink connections.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I price for new stock is $2,152.50, a 88% saving from the Cisco list price of $17,910.00. WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I refurb price is $202.65. WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

216 Gbps switching capacity describes full-duplex switching bandwidth, while 130.9 Mpps forwarding performance applies to 64-byte Layer 3 packets. 370W of shared PoE capacity requires power allocation across connected endpoints. OSPF for Routed Access supports one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance with 1000 dynamically learned routes combined; Cisco IOS 15.2(7)E does not enforce those restrictions. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, and EIGRP Stub provide additional routing choices, while HSRP and VRRP support gateway redundancy. WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I includes 128 MB of flash for software storage and uses a default allocation of 16000 MAC addresses. Resource allocation can change with the selected forwarding template, so larger VLAN-oriented address capacity is distinct from the default profile. The maximum input rating of 0.48 kVA is an apparent-power figure for electrical provisioning, not a real-power measurement in watts.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to a 1-year warranty for certified refurbished units. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics recognition, PSU and fan status, firmware verification, and factory-default configuration wiping. Specify condition, quantity, and accessories on the purchase order; returns are 30 days for every condition, with terms applying. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA operations.

In a mid-sized corporate campus network, deploying the WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I at the building edge delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE 370W ports to power IP phones, Wi-Fi access points, and security devices. Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks aggregate traffic to the distribution layer, while IP Lite OS provides robust ACL-based security and QoS enforcement. Benefit: Achieve high-density PoE distribution, simplified management with FlexStack-Plus stacking, and consistent network performance to support over 1,000 concurrent users.
For small retail or branch offices, the WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I offers a compact solution with 48 GigE PoE ports and a 370W power budget to support IP surveillance cameras, POS systems, and Wi-Fi hotspots. The two 10G SFP+ uplinks ensure high-speed connectivity back to headquarters. IP Lite OS delivers VLAN-based segmentation, port security, and traffic shaping. Benefit: Enable rapid deployment, reduce wiring complexity, and enforce PCI DSS–compliant data separation with enterprise-grade reliability.
In smart building and industrial automation environments, the WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I provides reliable PoE 370W to power sensors, IoT gateways, and HD surveillance cameras across 48 GigE ports. Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks integrate seamlessly with core network fabrics, while IP Lite OS offers advanced monitoring and network segmentation. Benefit: Deliver real-time data collection and video analytics, minimize operational downtime with high-availability stacking, and scale IoT deployments without costly infrastructure upgrades.
When adding powered endpoints to an existing closet, distinguish physical port availability from simultaneous power delivery. The single-supply configuration supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W. Record each endpoint's requested power and expected concurrent load, then specify the allocation plan before issuing the purchase order.
When extending an existing stack between wiring closets, FlexStack-Extended requires Cisco IOS 15.2(6)E or later. C2960X-FIBER-STK provides fiber stacking, while C2960X-HYBRID-STK combines copper and fiber connections. Confirm the installed software release, module choice, and connection distances, then include the required modules on the purchase order.
When preparing spare units for a fleet with one installed supply, retain the blank cover in the unused power-supply slot. Both rear slots must contain either a supply or a cover for correct cooling. Add the cover requirement to the receiving checklist, and confirm the supplied slot population before the purchase order.
More than two 10G uplinks
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. C9200-48PL accepts C9200-NM-4X for four 1G/10G uplink connections, requiring a separately specified network module.
Endpoints requiring more than 30W
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I supplies a maximum of 30W per powered port. Endpoints requiring more power cannot receive their full requested power from these PoE+ ports.
Mixed stacks with older families
Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members cannot join Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base or Catalyst 2960-S/SF stacks. Existing mixed-family stack hardware cannot accommodate this model.

WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I identifies a Catalyst 2960-XR configuration: WS-C2960XR is the family identifier, 48 denotes the access-port count, LP corresponds to the 370W PoE configuration, D corresponds to two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and I identifies IP Lite. The complete configuration has fixed uplinks and an optional second internal power supply.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I supports web management through Cisco Configuration Professional or Device Manager, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console, SNMP, and optional Bluetooth access. Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center, and Cisco Network Plug and Play provide additional management paths, with separate licenses required for the latter three.
Yes, WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I reached end-of-sale on October 31, 2022, with its last date of applicable Cisco support set to October 31, 2027. Regular software maintenance ended October 31, 2023. New sealed reseller inventory does not change those milestones, and C9200-48PL is the migration replacement.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I is available new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to 3 years extended for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty serves eligible original owners, with applicable coverage ending October 31, 2027.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I includes IP Lite base capabilities; optional Cisco DNA Essentials add-ons have a minimum three-year term, with five-year terms also available. C2960XR-DNA-E-48-3 and C2960XR-DNA-E-48-5 identify those options. Cisco ONE Foundation also enables Full Flexible NetFlow. Expired DNA add-ons can be deactivated, followed by a reload to retain base operation.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I provides a shared 370W PoE budget, with a maximum of 30W per powered port. The budget supports 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W, rather than maximum power on every port simultaneously. Allocate power against the complete endpoint inventory before ordering.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplink cages, so no removable network uplink card is required. The cages provide the uplink architecture rather than an expandable module bay. Specify compatible transceivers for the intended connections and confirm the optical interface requirements of the equipment at each end.
Catalyst 2960-XR FlexStack-Plus stacks eight members at 80 Gbps using C2960X-STACK modules. Copper connections use CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M, or CAB-STK-E-3M. Each member needs the stacking hardware, and IP Lite members cannot mix with Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base members or Catalyst 2960-S/SF switches.
Yes, Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite supports static routing, RIP, EIGRP Stub, and OSPF for Routed Access. OSPF permits one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance with 1000 dynamically learned routes combined. Those restrictions are not enforced in Cisco IOS 15.2(7)E, but they remain distinct from hardware forwarding-table capacity.
No, WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC and a covered second power-supply slot. Adding another PWR-C2-640WAC provides power redundancy while retaining the same 370W PoE budget. The second supply protects power availability; it does not double endpoint power capacity, and an unused slot requires its cover.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I provides 370W of single-supply PoE capacity, whereas WS-C2960XR-48FPD-I provides 740W. Both models are discontinued. The lower-budget configuration matches an existing installation with smaller aggregate endpoint demand; the higher-budget configuration matches an installed power requirement that exceeds the lower model's shared allocation.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I ships with PWR-C2-640WAC, while WS-C2960XR-48TD-I ships with PWR-C2-250WAC for its data-only configuration. Both models are discontinued, and their default supplies serve different hardware requirements. The former matches an existing powered-endpoint installation; the latter matches an existing installation that does not require switch-supplied endpoint power.
WS-C2960XR-48LPD-I has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, whereas C9200-48PL uses modular uplinks, including C9200-NM-4X for four 1G/10G connections. The discontinued model matches existing fixed-uplink configurations. C9200-48PL is the migration replacement for buyers specifying a new uplink-module configuration rather than preserving the original built-in arrangement.
