Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPD-L - Managed switch, Black

The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPD-L managed switch (48x Gigabit PoE+ and 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks) is a Layer 2 access device designed to segment LANs and provide data and power to network endpoints. It features 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports for connecting workstations, access points, and IP cameras. With a switching capacity of 216 Gbit/s, the device provides non-blocking switching across its access ports. A forwarding rate of 130.9 Mpps supports consistent performance for data-intensive applications. Two 10G-capable SFP+ slots provide high-speed uplinks to core switches or aggregation layers.

The rack-mountable chassis includes an internal power supply and typically draws 66 W during operation. Management is handled via a web interface or the dedicated RJ-45 console port, using SSH and SSL protocols for secure access. The switch is stackable, allowing multiple units to be managed as a single entity to simplify maintenance. Network traffic is managed and secured using Quality of Service (QoS) controls and Access Control Lists (ACL). The switch also includes redundant power supply (RPS) support to maintain uptime during primary power failures.

• Total PoE budget of 740 W across 48 PoE+ ports for high-draw access points or security cameras.
• Support for up to 1,023 active VLANs for network segmentation in multi-tenant or departmentalised setups.
• MAC address table capacity of 16,000 entries.
• Built-in DHCP server capabilities and IGMP snooping to manage IP allocation and multicast traffic.
• Rated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 233,370 hours.
• Operating noise level of 39 dB, suitable for server rooms and enclosed network cabinets.
