Cisco Catalyst 2960-L 48-port managed switch

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL is a managed network switch with forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP+ uplink slots. It supports twisted pair and optical fibre media types and operates at Layer 4. The unit measures 1.7 inches in height, 17.5 inches in width and 9.5 inches in depth.

Suited for managed access deployments needing

This switch fits environments that require forty-eight managed Gigabit connections with 10 Gigabit uplink flexibility. It is not for buyers who need built-in stacking ports or a higher count of 10 Gigabit downlink ports. Organisations requiring Power over Ethernet should look at a different model.

Four SFP+ uplink slots determine uplink capacity

The four SFP+ expansion slots provide the only 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity on the switch. Each slot accepts SFP+ transceivers for fibre or direct-attach cables. Uplink bandwidth is limited to these four ports.

Questions about this item

Do the SFP+ uplink modules on the WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL need periodic replacement or cleaning?

The four SFP+ uplink slots accept hot-swappable transceivers; optical modules may need occasional connector cleaning, but the switch chassis itself has no user-replaceable parts.

What throughput limit appears first when all 48 Gigabit ports and four 10 Gigabit uplinks are saturated?

The 48 downlink ports each run at 1 Gigabit, so aggregate downlink traffic caps at 48 Gbps before the four 10 Gigabit uplinks become the bottleneck.

How loud are the fans and how much heat does the WS-C2960L-48TQ-LL produce during continuous operation?

The 1U chassis uses internal forced-air cooling; fan speed ramps with temperature, and the unit draws power from its internal supply, dissipating heat through the rear vents.
