This data sheet provides a technical overview of the Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPS-L and its 48-port PoE+ variants, highlighting specialized deployment and localized availability through SKYRS in Pakistan.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPS-L is a high-density, stackable Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for enterprise-class access. It is the “Full PoE” 1G uplink flagship of the 2960X series, providing a substantial 740W power budget to support high-density VoIP, wireless access points, and IP surveillance across large office floors.
Downlink Ports: 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE+ ports.
Uplink Interfaces: 4 x 1 Gigabit SFP ports.
PoE Power Budget: 740W (Supports 24 ports at 30W or 48 ports at 15.4W).
Stacking: Cisco FlexStack-Plus support (Up to 8 switches, 80 Gbps throughput).
Forwarding Rate: 107.1 Mpps.
Switching Bandwidth: 216 Gbps.
Software Image: LAN Base.
SKYRS maintains a specialized inventory of 48-port 2960X models to ensure Pakistani businesses can match their specific power and uplink speed requirements.
| Model Variant | Ports | Uplink Speed | PoE Budget | Stacking |
| WS-C2960X-48FPS-L | 48 GigE | 4 x 1G SFP | 740W | FlexStack-Plus |
| WS-C2960X-48LPS-L | 48 GigE | 4 x 1G SFP | 370W | FlexStack-Plus |
| WS-C2960X-48FPD-L | 48 GigE | 2 x 10G SFP+ | 740W | FlexStack-Plus |
| WS-C2960X-48LPD-L | 48 GigE | 2 x 10G SFP+ | 370W | FlexStack-Plus |
To account for the local climate in Pakistan, SKYRS deployment standards include:
Thermal Management: The 740W power supply generates significant heat. Ensure the rack environment is climate-controlled between -5°C and 45°C.
Power Protection: Due to local grid instability, an Online UPS (2KVA minimum for the 48FPS-L) is mandatory to protect the high-capacity PoE circuitry.
Rack Mounting: Occupies 1U of standard 19-inch rack space. Ensure at least 3 inches of clearance for intake and exhaust.
Mounting: Secure the heavy-duty brackets to the chassis and mount them into the rack rails.
Stacking (Optional): Install the FlexStack-Plus module in the rear slot and connect the stacking cables before powering on the stack members.
Cabling: Use Cat6 or Cat6A cables for Gigabit downlinks. Insert SFP modules (e.g., GLC-SX-MMD) into the uplink slots for fiber backhaul.
Grounding: Attach the grounding lug to the rack frame to mitigate surge risks common in local infrastructure.
The Cisco 2960X-48FPS-L is available via SKYRS with professional configuration services tailored for the Pakistani enterprise market.
PoE Power Management: Customized port prioritization to ensure critical devices (e.g., server-room cameras or executive VoIP phones) remain powered if the 740W budget is pushed to its limit.
VLAN & Trunking: Logical segmentation of Departmental, Guest, and Security traffic.
Security Hardening: Implementation of SSH v2, Port Security, and DHCP Snooping to prevent unauthorized network access.
Remote Management: Secure setup of SNMP v3 and management IPs for remote troubleshooting by your IT team or SKYRS support.
As the 2960X series is in its post-manufacturing phase, SKYRS bridges the support gap in Pakistan:
Ready Stock: Certified Refurbished and Open-Box units available in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad for immediate delivery.
Localized Warranty: A 1-year hardware replacement warranty provided directly by SKYRS.
Expert Consulting: On-site deployment and network design services are available to ensure the 740W budget is utilized efficiently across your facility.
Technical Note: For organizations requiring the newest hardware generation with active Cisco SmartNet, SKYRS also stocks the Catalyst 9200-48P series.
