Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 370W, 4x1G SFP | LAN Base — CON-OSP-IS4431AX

Keep access-layer services stable with a switch configuration designed for dense, powered endpoint environments. The Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 370W model combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE support and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, giving network teams a straightforward way to connect users, phones, cameras, and access points while maintaining clean upstream connectivity. The 370 W PoE budget is the key differentiator here. It gives you room to power a meaningful number of edge devices without immediately adding external injectors or splitting the closet across multiple smaller switches. That reduces cabling complexity and helps standardize deployments across offices, classrooms, and branch sites. LAN Base positioning makes this a practical fit for organizations that want dependable access switching without paying for capabilities they will not use. For procurement teams, the value is in the balance: enough PoE capacity for real-world endpoint density, enough SFP uplinks for resilient aggregation, and a platform family that is familiar to enterprise operations teams. Ideal For Branch office access switching for phones, cameras, and wireless access points Campus wiring closets that need 48-port density with PoE Fiber uplink aggregation from access closets to distribution switches Standardized enterprise refreshes where LAN Base features are sufficient Why This Product 1 Higher PoE budget than entry access switches for more powered endpoints 2 48-port density reduces the need for multiple smaller switches 3 4 SFP uplinks support cleaner fiber aggregation 4 LAN Base fits standard access-layer requirements without excess complexity
