Optical Transceivers for Cisco WS-C2960S-F48TS-S Switch

Based on the SFP (optical module form factor) Gigabit Ethernet ports accommodate range SFP (optical module form factor) optical transceivers, including Cisco 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000Base-LX/LH, 1000BASE-SX. For more information on these Cisco optical transceivers, please check the following table.

How to determine what types of optical transceivers for Cisco switches?

1. Finding the corresponding optical module compatibility matrix via Cisco official website.

2. On the running switches, enter the privileged mode and input # "show idprom interface gi1 / 0/48" command, you can query the optical module model and serial number, If not, try to input other two commands: xuxic or show idprom int g2/6

3. Checking the type and port based on the specification, it can be used as long as it is gigabit SFP optical module interface. But the specific models to be decided according to the actual demand, such as type, the actual use of distance, single-mode or multimode, single fiber or dual fiber etc. Welcome to consult Cozlink engineer.

Introduction to the 48 Ports Switch

The WS-C2960S-F48TS-S is a Cisco Catalyst 2960-S series switch. It is a 48-port, managed Ethernet switch that is designed for use in enterprise and branch office environments. This switch is a layer 2 switch, which means it primarily operates at the data link layer of the OSI model and provides basic switching functions. The switch has 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports which support fast and reliable data transfer, and 4 SFP uplink ports for fiber connectivity, this allows for a longer distance connection and a higher bandwidth.

The switch also has advanced security features such as access control lists (ACLs) which can be used to restrict access to certain parts of the network, and Quality of Service (QoS) which can be used to prioritize network traffic, this ensure that important traffic such as voice and video is given priority over less important traffic. Additionally, it supports Cisco EnergyWise technology, which can help reduce energy consumption and costs by monitoring and controlling energy usage.

The switch is easy to set up and manage, with an intuitive web-based interface, this makes it easy for network administrators to configure and manage the switch remotely. It also supports Cisco's Network Assistant software, which provides a simple and user-friendly interface for switch management.

Scalable and High-Performance

The WS-C2960S-F48TS-S Cisco Catalyst 2960-S 48-port manageable Ethernet switch is a scalable and high-performance device that is designed to meet the demands of enterprise and branch office environments.

One of the key features that makes the switch scalable is its 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 SFP uplink ports, which provide a high-speed and reliable data transfer. This allows for a large number of devices to be connected to the network and provides ample bandwidth to support high-traffic applications.

In terms of performance, the switch is equipped with advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) which can be used to prioritize network traffic, this helps ensure that important traffic such as voice and video is given priority over less important traffic. Additionally, the switch supports Cisco EnergyWise technology, which can help reduce energy consumption and costs by monitoring and controlling energy usage, this ensures that the switch is running at its optimal performance while reducing costs.

The switch also supports Cisco FlexStack technology, which allows for the physical stacking of up to eight switches, this improves scalability and resiliency by providing a single IP address for management and a single control plane for all switches in the stack.

Network Management

The WS-C2960S-F48TS-S Cisco Catalyst 2960-S 48-port manageable Ethernet switch can be easily managed and configured to meet the needs of your network.

One of the key features for network management is the intuitive web-based interface, which allows for easy configuration and management of the switch remotely.
