Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W, 2 x 10G SFP | LAN Base — CON-SNTP-WS296XTS

Keep wired endpoints, phones, cameras, and wireless access points powered and connected on a switch built for dense access-layer deployment. The Catalyst 2960-X pairs 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports with a 740 W PoE budget, giving you room to support high-port-count edge environments without splitting power across multiple smaller switches. Two 10G SFP uplinks provide a cleaner path to aggregation, reducing bottlenecks where access traffic meets the distribution layer. Cisco LAN Base gives network teams the management depth they expect for VLAN segmentation, access control, and day-to-day operations in established campus networks. This model fits organizations that want predictable switching behavior, strong port density, and enough uplink capacity to keep pace with modern edge traffic. It is a practical choice when uptime, power delivery, and rack efficiency matter more than chasing features you will never deploy. For procurement teams, it offers a clear step up from entry switches by combining PoE scale, 10G uplinks, and Cisco’s enterprise switching pedigree in one access-layer platform.
