Product Features

48 Full Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Intelligent PoE+

Delivers 48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with PoE+ capabilities, ideal for connecting and powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.

Flexible 370W PoE+ Power Budget

Supports various power distributions: 12 ports at 30W, 24 ports at 15.4W, or 48 ports at 7.4W, providing power flexibility for different deployment sizes without additional power sources.

Four Dedicated 1G SFP Uplink Ports

Includes 4 x 1 Gigabit SFP uplinks to support high-speed fiber connections to distribution or core layers for expanded network performance and segmentation.

Stackable Design with FlexStack-Plus

Enables stacking of up to 8 switches in the same 2960-X series or up to 4 switches when mixed with 2960-S series. Provides a unified control plane and 80 Gbps of stack bandwidth.

High-Performance Switching Architecture

Provides line-rate forwarding performance with switching capacity of 216 Gbps and forwarding rate of 107.1 million packets per second (Mpps), ensuring smooth network traffic flow.

Enterprise-Class Security

Features 802.1X port-based access control, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), BPDU Guard, and Cisco TrustSec support for identity-based access control and threat mitigation.

Simplified Management Options

Offers flexible management through CLI, web-based GUI, SNMP, and console ports (USB and RJ-45). Also supports USB Type-A for storage and firmware transfer.

Enhanced Reliability and Efficiency

Supports Redundant Power Supply (RPS), fan exhaust, and FlexStack-Plus resiliency, reducing downtime while delivering greater operational continuity.
