The full-PoE member of the Catalyst 2960-S range, this switch pairs 48 10/100/1000 copper ports with two SFP+ uplinks under the LAN Base feature set. A 740 W PoE budget is enough for up to 24 ports at 30 W under 802.3at, or up to 48 ports at 15.4 W under 802.3af.
Against the 48-port variant limited to 370 W, this model doubles the PoE budget. Forwarding bandwidth is 88 Gbps, switching bandwidth is 176 Gbps full duplex, and the 64-byte Layer 3 forwarding rate is 101.2 mpps.
Memory is 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash. A FlexStack module is optional for stacking, with 20 Gbps of series stack throughput. The unit is 1.75 x 17.5 x 15.2 in (4.5 x 44.5 x 38.6 cm) and weighs 13 lb (5.9 kg). AC input is 100 to 240 V at 9 to 4 A, rated 0.89 kVA, and the DC redundant power system input is 12 V at 4 A plus -52 V at 15 A.
Measured draw is 81 W at full throughput without PoE, 464 W at 5 percent throughput with half the PoE load (386 W of it PoE), and 870 W at full throughput with maximum PoE load (744 W of it PoE).
