The WS-C2960S-48TS-L Catalyst 2960 Series Switch is a versatile and reliable Layer 2 switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses. With its 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP uplinks, it provides a scalable and adaptable solution for connecting network devices and expanding your network infrastructure. The switch’s modular design allows you to easily add or remove modules to meet your changing network needs, ensuring that your network remains flexible and adaptable. Additionally, the switch supports stacking, which enables you to interconnect multiple switches to create a larger, more powerful network. This provides increased scalability, redundancy, and fault tolerance, ensuring that your network remains operational even in the event of a failure.

Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches, designed and engineered by Cisco, provide optimum power saving, low power operations for industry best-in-class power management, and power consumption capabilities. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S ports are capable of reduced power modes so that ports not in use can move into a lower power utilization state.

Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960S-48TS-L is a fixed-configuration, Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Cisco 2960-S Series, designed for enterprise, branch office, and campus networks. It provides high reliability, security, and energy efficiency, making it ideal for business applications requiring robust network connectivity.

2 reviews for Cisco WS-C2960S-48TS-L – 48-Port Gigabit Switch with SFP

  1. Ross Wilber

    This is a great price on a great product. I was able to swap out two Catalyst 2900 switches with this one, this is much quieter than either of the older switches, they also have Gigabit ports instead of only the 10/100 ports. This one had four extra ports to add adapters, so you can connect Fiber to it. Was very easy to install.
