About the Cisco Catalyst 2960 WS-C2960S-48TS-L Cisco Catalyst switch
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 WS-C2960S-48TS-L delivers reliable Layer 2 switching with a forwarding rate of 65.5 Mpps, enabling consistent throughput for enterprise campus and branch deployments. This managed switch combines a 176 Gbps switching capacity with support for up to 255 VLANs and comprehensive Spanning Tree variants (IEEE 802.1D STP, RSTP, PVST+, and Rapid PVST+) to ensure network resilience and traffic isolation across mid-sized environments. Network engineers and IT procurement teams benefit from the switch's modular stacking capability—Cisco FlexStack technology supports up to 8 units with 40 Gbps stack bandwidth—allowing seamless expansion without redesigning network infrastructure.
Equipped with 48 downlink ports running at 10/100/1000BASE-T and 4 uplink SFP ports for gigabit connectivity, the WS-C2960S-48TS-L provides flexible port density for both access and aggregation layers. An 8,000-entry MAC address table and four egress queues per port with IEEE 802.1p CoS and DSCP support enable granular QoS policies. Security is embedded through IEEE 802.1X authentication, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, and Port Security. The switch ships in a compact 1RU rack-mountable form factor (44.5 mm × 445 mm × 304 mm) with an internal AC power supply rated for 100–240V at 50–60Hz, fitting seamlessly into standard equipment racks. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S series runs the LAN Lite IOS Feature Set, balancing feature richness with operational simplicity.
