Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL - Managed 48-Port Gigabit Switch with 4 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplinks, Grey

The Cisco Catalyst 2960L Series 48-port Gigabit switch (WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL) is a Layer 2 access switch for corporate networks. It features 48 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a total switching capacity of 104 Gbit/s. Four dedicated 10G SFP+ slots provide high-speed uplinks to core hardware. This non-PoE model uses an 800 MHz processor and 512 MB of RAM to manage traffic across active connections. The switch supports larger local area networks, with a MAC address table capacity of 8000 entries.

The 1U form factor allows the switch to be installed directly into standard equipment racks. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as open-plan offices. Administrators can configure the hardware via an RJ-45 console port or through management protocols, including SNMPv3, SSH, and Telnet. Traffic is segmented using Layer 2 protocols, with support for up to 4094 active VLANs and private VLANs. Security features include access control lists (ACLs), ARP inspection, and 802.1X authentication.

• Built-in DHCP server and client functionality, with IGMP snooping for multicast traffic.
• Dimensions: 445 x 240 x 44 mm; weight: 3030 g.
