Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W, 2 x 10G SFP | LAN Base — CON-L1NBD-S3260BB

Keep wired access predictable where uptime matters most. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE switch pairs 48 copper access ports with a 740 W PoE budget, giving you room to power phones, access points, and other edge devices from a single switch. Two 10G SFP uplinks provide the bandwidth needed to feed aggregation or distribution layers without bottlenecking the access edge. Built for LAN Base environments, this model is a practical fit for organizations that want proven switching behavior, straightforward management, and a feature set aligned to campus access requirements. It is especially well suited to teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure and looking for a switch that can support dense endpoint counts while keeping uplink capacity available for growth. Compared with lower-power access switches, the 2960-X 740 W configuration gives you more headroom for PoE deployments and fewer compromises when device counts rise. That makes it a strong choice for offices, classrooms, and branch closets where powered endpoints and reliable uplinks are both non-negotiable. Ideal For Campus access switch for wired user and device connectivity PoE aggregation for IP phones and wireless access points Branch closet switch for mixed endpoint and uplink traffic Network edge deployment requiring 10G uplink capacity Why This Product 1 Higher PoE headroom than lower-budget access switches 2 10G uplinks reduce bottlenecks at the edge 3 48-port density supports larger wired closets 4 LAN Base fits standard campus access requirements
