Keep user access, phones, cameras, and wireless gear online on a switch designed for demanding campus edge deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE PoE model combines 48 copper access ports with a 740 W power budget, giving you room to support PoE-powered devices without immediately adding external injectors or auxiliary power planning. Four 1G SFP uplinks provide fiber connectivity for aggregation or upstream handoff, helping you place the switch where copper runs end and resilient uplinks begin. The IP Lite feature set fits organizations that want dependable Layer 2 access switching with the operational discipline Cisco is known for in enterprise networks. This model makes sense when uptime, port density, and PoE headroom matter more than chasing a lower-cost commodity switch. It is a practical choice for branch closets, campus access racks, and edge deployments where predictable behavior and long service life reduce support overhead. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, it offers a familiar management model and the port mix needed to support mixed endpoint environments.
