Keep wired access predictable where uptime matters most. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X 48 GigE PoE 740W switch is built for enterprise edge deployments that need high port density, strong PoE headroom, and straightforward Layer 2 access control. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports and a 740 W PoE budget, it can support large concentrations of IP phones, surveillance cameras, and wireless access points without forcing immediate power tradeoffs. Four 1G SFP uplinks provide flexible fiber connectivity for upstream aggregation, helping reduce bottlenecks at the edge.
