Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPS-L - Managed Gigabit Power over Ethernet Plus Switch, Black

The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPS-L is a managed PoE+ switch featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 Gigabit SFP slots. It functions as an L2/L3 network appliance suitable for high-density environments. With a total switching capacity of 216 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 107.1 Mpps, the unit maintains traffic flow across all active interfaces. The switch is used to aggregate branch or campus network traffic while providing layer-level control.

Designed for standard rack mounting, the chassis includes a 740 W total PoE budget to power connected hardware such as IP cameras and access points. Administrators can configure network segmentation via web-based interfaces or the RJ-45 console port. The software supports up to 1,023 active VLANs and includes built-in DHCP server functionality and IP routing. To manage internal temperatures, the device uses active cooling, which operates at a noise level of 39 dB. Power consumption is approximately 66.6 W during operation.

• MAC address table with a capacity of 16,000 entries for large device environments.
• Hardware-level security, including 802.1x RADIUS authentication, access control lists (ACLs), and SSH.
• Quality of Service (QoS) and broadcast storm control to prioritise and protect critical network traffic.
• Redundant Power Supply (RPS) support for continuous operation during primary power failure.
• Internal architecture featuring a 600 MHz AppliedMicro processor and 512 MB of DRAM.
• Mean time between failures (MTBF) of 232,610 hours for operational reliability.
