This data sheet outlines the technical capabilities and specialized service availability of the Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPD-L and its 48-port PoE+ high-performance variants through SKYRS in Pakistan.
The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPD-L is a stackable, fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for high-density enterprise access. It is the “Full PoE” flagship of the 2960X series, providing a massive 740W power budget and 10G SFP+ uplinks, making it ideal for supporting extensive Wi-Fi 6 deployments, high-end IP surveillance, and video conferencing suites.
Downlink Ports: 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE+ ports.
Uplink Interfaces: 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports (Backwards compatible with 1G SFP).
PoE Power Budget: 740W (Supports up to 24 ports at 30W or 48 ports at 15.4W).
Stacking: Cisco FlexStack-Plus support (Up to 8 switches, 80 Gbps throughput).
Forwarding Rate: 130.9 Mpps.
Switching Bandwidth: 216 Gbps.
Software Image: LAN Base (Enterprise Layer 2 services).
SKYRS maintains inventory for various 48-port 2960X configurations to meet different power and scalability requirements across Pakistani corporate sectors.
To account for the diverse climates in Pakistan (from the humidity of Karachi to the heat of Punjab), SKYRS recommends:
Thermal Management: Operate between -5°C and 45°C. For the 740W FPD-L model, ensure active rack cooling to dissipate heat from the internal power supply.
Power Stability: Due to local grid fluctuations, an Online UPS (2KVA minimum for the 48FPD-L) is mandatory to protect the PoE budget and internal circuitry.
Rack Space: 1U standard 19-inch rack. Ensure a minimum rack depth of 24 inches to accommodate the chassis and power cabling.
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 and connect the 0.5m/1m stack cables before powering on the stack.
Uplinks: Insert 10G SFP+ modules (e.g., SFP-10G-SR) for high-speed fiber connectivity to the core.
Grounding: Attach the grounding lug to the rack frame to mitigate surge risks.
The Cisco 2960X-48FPD-L is available via SKYRS with professional configuration services tailored for the Pakistani infrastructure.
PoE Optimization: Pre-configuration of power priority to ensure critical devices (like server-room cameras) remain powered during load-shedding scenarios.
Stacking Configuration: Setting up the stack master and redundancy protocols for “Single-IP” management.
Security Hardening: Deployment of SSH v2, Port Security, and DHCP Snooping to prevent local network breaches.
Remote Management: Setup for remote monitoring via SNMP v3 for central IT management.
Since the 2960X series is in its post-manufacturing phase, SKYRS provides:
Ready Stock: Certified Refurbished and Open-Box units available in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
Localized Warranty: A 1-year hardware replacement warranty provided directly by SKYRS.
