Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR 48 GigE PoE 740W IP Lite | Enterprise Switch — CON-OSP-C10008TE

Build a dependable access layer with the Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR configured for 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports, a 740 W power budget, and 4 x 1G SFP uplinks. This platform is designed for environments that need consistent wired connectivity for phones, access points, cameras, and other PoE-powered devices without sacrificing uplink flexibility. The value of this class of switch is in how it balances port density, power delivery, and uplink options. A 48-port access layer reduces the need for additional aggregation hardware, while the PoE budget supports endpoint deployment at scale. The SFP uplinks give network teams a clean path to fiber-based upstream connectivity, which is especially useful in campus closets and distributed edge locations. IP Lite capability positions the switch for organizations that want a capable access platform without moving into more complex routing requirements. For procurement teams, this model sits in the part of the portfolio where reliability, port count, and power headroom justify the spend. It is a practical choice when the network must support real workloads, not just basic connectivity.
