WS-C2960XR-48TD-I Use Case
Branch Office Resilient Connectivity with WS-C2960XR-48TD-I
In a distributed retail environment, the Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE switch (WS-C2960XR-48TD-I) with IP Lite and dual 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks delivers local VLAN segmentation, static Layer 3 routing and rapid uplink failover. This ensures continuous POS transactions, secure guest-Wi-Fi isolation and sub-second recovery in link outages, reducing branch downtime and accelerating application performance.
Industrial IoT Data Aggregation on the Factory Floor
On a smart-manufacturing line, the WS-C2960XR-48TD-I aggregates 48 GigE sensors, PLCs and IP cameras, enforces QoS policies and ACL-based traffic segregation using IP Lite, and uplinks real-time telemetry over 2 x 10 G SFP+ to edge compute nodes. The result is deterministic latency for SCADA streams, simplified network zoning and a 30% boost in operational throughput.
Campus Access Layer Scalability and Security
In a higher-education campus, stackable Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE switches (WS-C2960XR-48TD-I) provide 370 W PoE for IP phones, wireless APs and cameras, plus static routing for inter-VLAN routing. Leveraging IP Lite ACLs and dual 10 G uplinks, IT teams achieve centralized policy enforcement, 20% lower CAPEX via FlexStack-Plus and consistent user experiences across lecture halls and labs.
