Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48-Port Managed Switch

This Cisco Catalyst 2960-X switch is a managed, rack-mountable network device with 48 ports. It runs a universal Cisco IOS image that locks the feature set to LAN Base. The unit is designed for commercial network deployments requiring Layer 2 management capabilities.

Network administrators needing LAN Base features

Organisations that require IP Lite routing features should look elsewhere because this model cannot be upgraded beyond LAN Base. Buyers who need Power over Ethernet support will not find it on this switch. Deployments requiring a smaller port count or a different form factor are not addressed by this specific unit.

LAN Base feature set fixed at purchase

The LAN Base feature set is permanently tied to this hardware and cannot be upgraded to IP Lite. This determines the available Layer 2 management, security and scalability functions. Verify that LAN Base meets your network design requirements before selecting this switch.

Questions about this item

Does the WS-C2960X-48TD-L come with all cables and transceivers, or do I need to buy SFP+ modules separately?

The switch includes the rack-mount hardware and a power cord. The 48 copper ports use standard Ethernet cables you supply. The two 10G SFP+ uplink slots require compatible transceivers purchased separately.

How do I decide between the LAN Base image on this 48-port model and other 2960-X variants?

This unit ships with the LAN Base feature set, which provides full Layer 2 switching plus basic Layer 3 static routing. LAN Lite models offer reduced scalability, while IP Lite on 2960-XR adds advanced routing. The feature level is fixed per model and cannot be upgraded later.

What does the 10/100/1000Base-T rating mean for actual throughput on a connected PC?

Each of the 48 ports auto-negotiates to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps full duplex with the attached device. Real-world throughput will match the negotiated speed, limited by the endpoint's NIC and cabling quality.
