Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR 48-Port Managed Switch

This Cisco Catalyst 2960-XR switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks in a rack-mountable form factor. It runs the IP Lite feature set on a universal Cisco IOS image for managed Layer 2 and Layer 3 operations. The unit weighs 13.30 lb and is designed for commercial network deployments requiring redundancy and advanced features.

Suitable for managed access-layer deployments

Organisations that require a managed switch with 48 copper ports and dual 10G uplinks for aggregation will find this model fits. Buyers who need PoE power for phones or cameras should look elsewhere, as this unit does not supply power over Ethernet. Networks requiring full IP Services licensing or higher feature tiers are not supported by the fixed IP Lite image.

48 Gigabit ports with dual 10G SFP+ uplinks

The primary specification is the combination of 48 10/100/1000Base-T ports and two 10G SFP+ uplinks for high-speed aggregation. This port arrangement determines whether the switch matches the connectivity and uplink bandwidth requirements of the intended network design.

Questions about this item

What rack space and weight allowance does the 13.30 lb Catalyst 2960-XR need?

The unit is rack-mountable and weighs 13.30 lb; allow one rack unit of vertical space and verify the rack can support the weight.

How do you load the correct IOS feature set on this IP Lite model?

The switch ships with a universal IOS image that automatically activates the IP Lite feature set; no separate licence installation is required.

Which uplink modules will need replacement when 10G SFP+ transceivers reach end of life?

The two 10G SFP+ uplink ports accept hot-swappable transceivers; only the transceivers themselves need replacing, not the switch chassis.
