Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W, 4 SFP | LAN Base, Switch — CON-C1NBD-WSC388FS

Keep edge connectivity predictable where uptime matters most. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports, a 740 W PoE budget, and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks in a platform built for access-layer deployments that carry phones, cameras, access points, and user devices at the same time. LAN Base provides the switching features most campus teams need without adding unnecessary complexity. That makes this model a strong fit for organizations standardizing on a proven access switch for closets, branch sites, and distributed offices. The 1G SFP uplinks give you clean paths to aggregation, while the PoE budget supports dense endpoint layouts that would strain lower-capacity alternatives. For teams comparing price points, this configuration earns its place by combining port density, PoE headroom, and Cisco access-layer consistency in one chassis. It is designed for environments where replacing a switch means more than swapping hardware — it means protecting users, devices, and the services they depend on. Ideal For Campus access switching for user workstations and VoIP phones PoE deployment for wireless access points and IP surveillance cameras Branch office aggregation with 1G fiber uplinks Network closet refresh where Cisco access-layer consistency is required Why This Product 1 Higher PoE headroom than lower-budget access switches 2 4 x 1G SFP uplinks for cleaner aggregation paths 3 Cisco LAN Base for familiar access-layer administration 4 48-port density suited to wired endpoint-heavy closets
