WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and the IP Lite feature set. Its full-width 1U rack chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR Series, which serves campus and branch access networks connecting phones, wireless access points and other Ethernet endpoints. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch combines powered copper connections with separate fiber uplinks rather than a removable uplink card. The discontinued WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I is the higher-budget sibling, providing 740W for endpoint power. Cisco IOS supplies the operating environment, while the hardware model determines the available base software capabilities.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I price for new stock is $2,445.45. WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I refurb price is $186.90. WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

216 Gbps switching capacity provides the full-duplex switching bandwidth, while 107.1 Mpps forwarding performance covers 64-byte Layer 3 packets. 370W of shared PoE power requires allocation across connected endpoints rather than simultaneous maximum draw on every port. OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3 and EIGRP Stub support routed access; static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2 and RIPng provide additional routing choices. WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I has 128 MB of flash memory for software storage. The default resource template supports 16000 MAC addresses, and the switch supports 1023 active VLANs. RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree control, while HSRP and VRRP support gateway redundancy. The maximum input rating is 470 VA; the separate measured consumption at 100% traffic is 53W. Apparent power and measured watts are not interchangeable facility-planning figures.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply.

Deploy the Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE PoE 370W switch to power and segment 50+ IP cameras across a remote branch via 4x1G SFP uplinks. Benefit: centralized PoE management, high-availability security VLANs and simplified monitoring reduce theft risk and ensure 24/7 video integrity.
Aggregate up to 48 Wi-Fi 6 access points per building closet with PoE+ 370W budget and dual SFP links to the distribution layer. Benefit: streamlined power delivery, consistent LAN performance and rapid failover enhance student connectivity and support BYOD at scale.
Power point-of-sale terminals, Wi-Fi hotspots and HD digital signage in a multi-store retail chain using a single Catalyst 2960-XR switch. Benefit: consolidated network infrastructure lowers TCO, enforces QoS for transaction traffic and delivers seamless in-store promotions.
A purchase combining phones and wireless access points needs an endpoint power schedule before hardware quantities are finalized. The supported allocations include 12 ports drawing 30W or 24 ports drawing 15.4W. Mixed loads require individual power requests rather than a port-count assumption; size the endpoint list before issuing the PO.
When extending an existing Catalyst 2960-XR stack, validate software entitlements before selecting the additional member. Stack members must have matching base and add-on license levels, and a mismatched base license prevents joining. Record the active member's license state and include license verification in the acceptance checklist before ordering.
When a branch maintenance plan includes software reloads, Perpetual PoE maintains endpoint power during the reload. Maintained power is a separate consideration from traffic forwarding and aggregate endpoint demand. Confirm the connected devices' power requirements, the selected software release and the maintenance acceptance checks before placing the order.
10G fiber uplinks to distribution
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I has fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ uplinks. A software change or replacement transceiver does not change that uplink speed class.
Endpoint power above 30W per port
The PoE+ ceiling is 30W per port. Endpoints requiring more power exceed that limit, regardless of unused power elsewhere in the shared budget.
Mixed Catalyst 2960-X stack membership
Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite members cannot share a stack with Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base or Catalyst 2960-S/SF members; stacking-module compatibility does not remove this restriction.
Cisco service beyond October 2027
Cisco service ends October 31, 2027. C9200-48PL is the current migration model, not an extension of the Catalyst 2960-XR service window.

WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I identifies a Catalyst 2960-XR configuration: WS-C2960XR names the family, 48 identifies the Gigabit access-port count, LPS identifies the 370W powered configuration with four 1G SFP uplinks, and I identifies IP Lite. The complete part number distinguishes the hardware and software combination from other family members.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I supports a Configuration Professional web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, RJ-45 or USB console, SNMP and external USB Bluetooth access. Network management includes Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Network Plug and Play through APIC-EM or Cisco DNA Center. Centralized management solutions require separate licenses.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I reached end of sale on October 31, 2022, and its last date of support is October 31, 2027. Software maintenance releases ended October 31, 2023. Existing service-contract renewals end January 29, 2027, and C9200-48PL is the named migration model for this discontinued configuration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty 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 has original-end-user conditions, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2027.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I includes permanent, hardware-bound IP Lite; Cisco DNA Essentials is the optional term add-on with three-, five- or seven-year terms. Cisco ONE Foundation is another entitlement for advanced visibility features. DNA Advantage is unavailable. Add-on expiration does not expire IP Lite; subscription handling uses a Cisco Smart Account.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I provides a shared 370W PoE budget with a 30W per-port PoE+ maximum. Supported allocations include 12 ports at 30W or 24 ports at 15.4W, with flexible allocation across ports. The presence of 48 powered ports does not mean every port can simultaneously draw its maximum.
The Catalyst 2960-XR 48LPS configuration has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, separate from its copper access ports. These are not 10G SFP+ uplinks or a removable uplink card. Select compatible transceivers for the required medium and reach; installing different optics does not change the fixed uplink speed.
FlexStack-Plus stacks eight Catalyst 2960-XR members at 80 Gbps using optional C2960X-STACK modules. Copper cable choices are CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M and CAB-STK-E-3M. IP Lite members cannot mix with Catalyst 2960-X LAN Base or Catalyst 2960-S/SF members. Specify the modules and cable lengths with the stacked order.
Catalyst 2960-XR IP Lite supports OSPF for Routed Access, OSPFv3, EIGRP Stub, static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2 and RIPng. Additional capabilities include policy-based routing, multicast routing and HSRP or VRRP gateway redundancy. IP Lite is tied to the hardware model rather than an upgradeable choice of base feature sets.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I supports an optional second PWR-C2-640WAC and ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC by default. Two matching supplies provide power redundancy but leave the available PoE budget at 370W. That budget remains 370W when one supply fails, so the second supply is a redundancy purchase rather than a power-budget increase.
WS-C2960XR-48FPS-I provides a 740W PoE budget, compared with 370W on WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I. Both configurations are discontinued. The FPS configuration matches an existing installation needing the larger endpoint allocation; the LPS configuration matches purchases whose connected-device power requests fit the smaller shared budget.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I ships with PWR-C2-640WAC, while WS-C2960XR-48TS-I ships with PWR-C2-250WAC. Both configurations are discontinued, and their supply selections correspond to different endpoint-power requirements. The LPS configuration suits an existing powered-endpoint installation; the TS configuration suits an existing data-only installation without switch-provided endpoint power.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, whereas C9200-48PL uses modular uplink options. The discontinued 2960-XR configuration matches an existing fixed-uplink installation. C9200-48PL is the current migration model for buyers moving to a newer uplink architecture, with the uplink selection specified separately on that order.
WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I has a 470 VA maximum input rating and a separate measured consumption of 53W at 100% traffic. VA and watts describe different electrical quantities. The PWR-C2-640WAC capacity is not the switch's measured draw; use the input rating for facility planning and assess endpoint power requirements separately.
