Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W, 4 x 1G SFP | LAN Base — CON-L1DS-N3LDCNM

Keep user access, voice, video, and wireless endpoints connected on a switch designed for high-density edge aggregation. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE model delivers 48 copper access ports with PoE support and a 740 W power budget, giving you the margin to run a large mix of powered devices without planning every port around a tight watt ceiling. Four 1G SFP uplinks provide clean paths into distribution or aggregation layers, while LAN Base software keeps the feature set focused on dependable campus access switching. This model fits environments where uptime, predictable behavior, and simple operational control matter more than feature sprawl. It is a strong choice for access closets supporting IP phones, surveillance, badge readers, and wireless access points in offices, schools, and branch sites. Compared with lower-power access switches, the 740 W PoE budget reduces the need to split powered devices across multiple switches, which can simplify cabling, rack space, and power planning. For teams standardizing on Cisco access infrastructure, the 2960-X family offers a familiar operating model and a practical balance of port density, uplink flexibility, and PoE capacity. It is built to serve as a stable access-layer anchor where the cost of a port failure or a power shortfall is higher than the cost of buying the right switch the first time.
