Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W, 4 x 1G SFP | LAN Base — CON-C1NBD-WSC3852S

Maintain dependable access-layer performance where uptime matters most. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE switch combines 48 copper Gigabit Ethernet ports with a 740 W PoE budget and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, giving you the port density and power headroom needed for phones, access points, and other powered endpoints. LAN Base provides the management model many enterprise teams prefer for stable campus switching without unnecessary complexity. It is a practical fit for organizations standardizing on Cisco access infrastructure and looking for a switch that supports predictable operations at the edge. This configuration is well suited to wired access closets that need to serve mixed endpoint loads while preserving uplink flexibility. The SFP uplinks help separate access traffic from aggregation paths, and the PoE budget supports larger endpoint counts without forcing immediate power tradeoffs. For teams comparing against lower-cost access switches, the value here is in the combination of density, PoE capacity, and Cisco’s established campus switching platform. It is built for environments where replacing a switch means more than swapping hardware — it means protecting service continuity across the access layer.
