WS-C2960S-48FPS-L Cisco Catalyst 2960-S 48-Port PoE+ Switch

WS-C2960S-48FPS-L is the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switch with 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four SFP uplinks and the LAN Base feature set. Available PoE power is 740 W, enough for up to 24 PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) ports at up to 30 W or up to 48 PoE (IEEE 802.3af) ports at up to 15.4 W, and intelligent power management allocates the budget flexibly across all ports.

Forwarding bandwidth is 88 Gbps and switching bandwidth is 176 Gbps (full duplex), and the forwarding rate is 77.4 Mpps for 64-byte Layer 3 packets. The switch has 64 MB of flash and 128 MB of DRAM, supports 255 active VLANs from 4000 VLAN IDs, and handles jumbo Ethernet frames of 9216 bytes with a 9198-byte Layer 3 MTU. FlexStack stacking is optional on this model.

The chassis measures 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). Power input is 100 to 240 VAC autoranging at 9 to 4 A and 50 to 60 Hz, and the mean time between failures is 189,242 hours. A Cisco Redundant Power System 2300 (PWR-RPS2300) can back the switch up.

With the same 48 ports and four SFP uplinks, the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L has 370 W of PoE power, enough for 12 PoE+ ports at up to 30 W or 24 PoE ports at up to 15.4 W.
