Type Of Tutorial WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L Cisco 2960 Switch SFP Switch

Cisco WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L Switch Overview

WS-C2960S-F48LPS-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. Cisco WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L switch is enterprise-class layer 2 switch for branch and midsize campus applications. It enables reliable and secure network access with feature the lower total cost of ownerships. Cisco WS-C2960S-F48LPS-L switch comes with 48 Fast ethernet ports with POE+ capability to provide up to 370W total POE budget and 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks for multiswitch depolyments. This product supports flexstack technology, stacking is enabled by optional hot-swappable module. Flexstack technology provides a unified data plane, analyze a stack to be configured and managed as a single switch, the switch also support mixed stacking, which means 2960SF and 2960-S can be combined in a single stack.

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-F48LPS-L is used for Layer 2 switching. This switch is ideal for applying basic security policies to limit access to the network and reduce threats. It reduces total cost of ownership through simplified installation and operation. Just like all other switches from this series this particular model's also works with a lot of Gigabit Ethernet SFP optical transceivers which can be found in Cozlink with high quality and competitive price. Moreover, most of them have adequate inventory, which ensures the customers to enjoy same day shipping. In addition to providing optical transceivers, Cozlink also offers patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice.
