Cisco WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Cisco WS-C2960XR-48LPS-I is a Catalyst 2960-XR 48-port PoE+ switch built for dense access-layer deployments requiring power delivery and basic routing at the edge. It provides 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports with a total PoE budget of 370 W and four fixed SFP module uplink slots for fiber connectivity, all housed in a 1U chassis powered by a 640 W AC supply. The IP Lite feature set enables Layer 3 routing on the switch, accommodating static routes and inter-VLAN routing without a separate router. Physical specs position it as a compact, rack-mountable solution with dimensions of 1.75 in height, 16.0 in depth, and 17.5 in width and an approximate weight of 13–14 lb. Optional FlexStack-Plus support allows stacking for simplified scalability. Ideal for offices, campuses, or retail environments that need PoE on every access port while maintaining Cisco IOS-based management, this model combines dependable Layer 2 switching with essential routing capabilities in a single, energy-conscious 1U device.
