The Cisco Catalyst 2960S-F48TS-S is an enterprise-class Layer 2 switch designed for branch offices and midsize campus networks. Unlike the standard 2960S series which is fully Gigabit, the “F” designation indicates Fast Ethernet (10/100) connectivity for downlinks, paired with Gigabit SFP uplinks. It runs the LAN Lite software set, providing a cost-effective solution for basic data connectivity without the need for advanced stacking or high-power PoE.
Downlink Ports: 48 x 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports.
Uplink Interfaces: 2 x 1 Gigabit SFP ports.
Software Set: LAN Lite (Entry-level Layer 2 features).
PoE Support: None (Data-only model).
Stacking: No stacking support (Stand-alone operation).
Forwarding Performance: 10.1 Mpps.
Switching Capacity: 17.6 Gbps.
Memory: 128 MB DRAM / 64 MB Flash.
SKYRS provides a variety of 48-port models to ensure that Pakistani businesses can choose between Fast Ethernet (2960S-F) and Gigabit Ethernet (2960S) based on their specific bandwidth needs.
To account for the local climate and power conditions in Pakistan, SKYRS deployment standards include:
Dust Protection: Use of enclosed racks with filters is recommended for non-AC environments in industrial areas.
Operating Temp: Maintain between -5°C and 45°C.
Power: AC 100-240V. For the F48TS-S (Non-PoE), power consumption is low (approx. 35-45W), but an offline UPS is recommended for voltage stabilization.
Mounting: Secure the rack-mount brackets to the chassis and install the unit in a standard 1U slot in a 19-inch rack.
Cabling: Use Cat5e for 10/100 downlinks. For uplinks, use Cisco-compatible GLC-SX-MM or GLC-LH-SMD SFP modules for fiber connectivity.
Verification: Power on and ensure the SYST LED turns solid green.
The Cisco 2960S-F48TS-S is available through SKYRS in Pakistan with localized value-added services that ensure the hardware is ready for immediate production use.
Custom LAN Lite Hardening: Deployment of secure management protocols (SSHv2 instead of Telnet) and basic port security to prevent unauthorized access.
VLAN Configuration: Segmenting your office network into Voice, Data, and Management VLANs (up to 64 active VLANs supported on LAN Lite).
Pakistan ISP Optimization: Pre-configuration of MTU settings and gateway parameters for local ISPs like PTEL, StormFiber, or Transworld.
Inventory Status: SKYRS maintains ready stock of Certified Refurbished units, which are rigorously tested and factory-reset.
Since the 2960S series is legacy hardware, standard Cisco SmartNet is no longer available. SKYRS bridges this gap by providing:
Hardware Replacement: Localized 6-month to 1-year replacement warranty managed within Pakistan.
On-Site Support: Technical assistance available in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
Technical Note: For clients requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) for IP cameras or access points, SKYRS recommends the WS-C2960S-F48FPS-L variant.
A follow-up question: Would you like to compare the power consumption of these Fast Ethernet models against the newer Catalyst 1000 series for your facility?
