Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE PoE 740W, 2 x 10G SFP | Layer 2, Rack Mount — CON-UCSD1-E220M5SX

Keep the access layer steady under load with the Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR built for dense PoE endpoint deployments. Forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports deliver wired connectivity for phones, cameras, access points, and workstations, while the 740 W PoE budget supports mixed-power edge environments without forcing immediate power tradeoffs. Two 10G SFP uplinks give the switch a cleaner path into distribution or aggregation, reducing bottlenecks where access traffic converges. IP Lite management provides the control expected in enterprise networks that need practical configuration and visibility without unnecessary complexity. This is the kind of switch selected when uptime, port density, and uplink headroom matter more than low-cost compromises. For teams standardizing branch, campus, or wiring-closet refreshes, the 2960-XR line offers a familiar Cisco operating model and a hardware profile sized for real access-layer demand. It is a strong fit when you need PoE capacity, uplink speed, and a proven platform that can sit at the edge of critical infrastructure with confidence. Ideal For Campus access switch for VoIP phones and wireless access points Branch closet switch for mixed PoE endpoint deployments Wiring-closet aggregation for cameras, printers, and workstations Access-layer refresh where 10G uplinks are required Why This Product 1 Higher PoE headroom than lower-budget access switches 2 2 x 10G SFP uplinks for cleaner aggregation paths 3 48-port density for endpoint-heavy closets 4 Cisco-managed platform suited to enterprise access layers
