Keep critical access networks stable with the Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR built for dense edge connectivity and controlled PoE delivery. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports and a 370 W PoE budget, it can power phones, access points, and other endpoint devices from a single access layer switch. Four 1G SFP uplinks provide flexible fiber connectivity for upstream aggregation or distribution links. This model fits organizations that want managed switching with the operational discipline Cisco access platforms are known for. IP Lite management supports common campus and branch requirements without adding unnecessary complexity. The 2960-XR family is a strong fit where uptime, port density, and consistent behavior matter more than chasing low-cost hardware with limited headroom. For teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, this switch offers a practical balance of access capacity, PoE delivery, and uplink flexibility. It is well suited to environments that need to scale endpoint connectivity while keeping the network easy to administer and dependable under load.
