This datasheet provides the technical overview for the Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960X-48FPS-L and its primary variants, specifically curated for SKYRS in Pakistan.
The Cisco 2960-X series is an enterprise-class line of stackable Gigabit Ethernet access switches that provide a foundation for converged data, voice, and video networks.
The WS-C2960X-48FPS-L is the high-power PoE+ model within the 2960-X family, designed to support dense deployments of power-hungry devices like Wi-Fi 6 access points and PTZ security cameras.
Downlink Ports: 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Gigabit ports.
Uplink Interfaces: 4 x 1G SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable).
PoE Power Budget: 740W total (Full PoE+).
PoE Support: Up to 30W per port on 24 ports, or 15.4W on all 48 ports.
Stacking: Optional FlexStack-Plus (up to 8 switches, 80 Gbps bandwidth).
Software: Cisco IOS LAN Base (Layer 2 switching with static routing).
Performance: 216 Gbps switching capacity and 107.1 Mpps forwarding rate.
Depending on the specific site requirements in Pakistan (such as 10G uplink needs or lower power budgets), SKYRS may utilize these primary 48-port variants:
| Model Number | Downlinks | Uplinks | PoE Budget | Primary Use Case |
| WS-C2960X-48FPS-L | 48 x GigE | 4 x 1G SFP | 740W | High-density PoE (CCTV/AP) |
| WS-C2960X-48FPD-L | 48 x GigE | 2 x 10G SFP+ | 740W | 10G Core/Uplink capability |
| WS-C2960X-48LPS-L | 48 x GigE | 4 x 1G SFP | 370W | Standard Office PoE (IP Phones) |
| WS-C2960X-48LPD-L | 48 x GigE | 2 x 10G SFP+ | 370W | Mixed 10G Uplink/Standard PoE |
| WS-C2960X-48TS-L | 48 x GigE | 4 x 1G SFP | None | Data-only/Workstation access |
For SKYRS infrastructure, proper physical installation is critical to ensure hardware longevity in various local climates across Pakistan.
Rack Placement: Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack. For 48-port models, ensure the rack is properly grounded.
Thermal Management: Ensure at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the fan exhaust (rear) and intake (sides) to prevent overheating.
Power Redundancy: For mission-critical SKYRS nodes, connect to a Cisco RPS 2300 redundant power system to protect against internal power supply failure.
Stacking (Optional): If using FlexStack-Plus, install the module in the rear slot and connect stack cables in a ring topology before powering on.
Cabling: Use Category 5e or better for Gigabit connections. Use original Cisco SFP modules for uplink stability.
SKYRS provides specialized, pre-configured deployment services. These configurations are optimized for local network stability and security.
Smart Install & Auto-SmartPorts: Automated port configuration based on the device type connected (Phone, Laptop, or AP).
Security Hardening: Implementation of DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), and BPDU Guard to prevent local network attacks.
Energy Management: Configuring Cisco EnergyWise to reduce power consumption during off-hours at SKYRS branch offices.
VLAN Segmentation: Custom logical separation of Data, Voice, and Management traffic for improved performance.
Note: Comprehensive technical support, onsite installation, and custom IOS configuration for these models are available exclusively through SKYRS authorized technical teams in Pakistan.
