Cisco WS-C2960G-48TC-L Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Cisco WS-C2960G-48TC-L is a 48‑port Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Cisco Catalyst 2960G Series designed for Layer 2 access‑layer deployments in enterprise networks. It provides 48 × 10/100/1000 ports plus two dual‑purpose uplink ports (10/100/1000 or SFP), delivering up to 32 Gbps of switching capacity and about 35.7 Mpps forwarding rate for dense office workgroups and campus closets. With LAN Base software, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, and integrated security features such as port security, ACLs, and network authentication, it supports VLAN segmentation and centralized management via CLI, SNMP, and Cisco management tools, making it suitable for connecting workstations, printers, servers, and other network devices in corporate offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and government installations. Its internal AC power supply and rack‑mountable form factor fit standard data center and closet environments while serving as a scalable upgrade or replacement for legacy Cisco Catalyst switches.
