WS-C2960S-48FPS-L Type Of Tutorial Cisco 2960 Switch SFP Switch

Cisco WS-C2960S-48FPS-L Switch Overview

WS-C2960S-48FPS-L belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 S Series Switches; this switch features Power over Ethernet (PoE) that provide desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling highly secured LAN services for entry-level enterprise, midmarket, and branch office networks. The WS-C2960S-48FPS-L is different from the WS-C2960S-48LPS-L in the PoE capabilities, because Cisco WS-C2960S-48FPS with Full PoE function can offer 740W PoE Power total with 24 ports up to 30W per switchports or 48 ports up to 15.4W per switch port. But Cisco Catalyst Switch 2960S-48FPS-L and 2960S-48LPS-L share a similar datasheet with 4 One Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports and optional Cisco FlexStack stacking supporting 20 Gbps of throughput. Both are Catalyst 2960-S models with LAN Base Software.

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.

Summary

The Cisco WS-C2960S-48FPS-L IOS LAN Base switch consists of 48 Ethernet ports and 4 SFP ports. The alphabet F in the product number represents that this switch is powered with 100BASE-FX fiber ports, P represents that this is a PoE enabled switch and L shows its a LAN base device. These switches are compatible with various Gigabit Ethernet SFP optical transceivers. All these fiber optic transceivers are available on Cozlink at really competitive prices. You can expect same day shipping on cozlink. Not just optical transceivers, you can also find fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice on cozlink.
