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.

WS-C2960X-24PS-L Overview

Cisco catalyst 2960X-24PS-L LAN Base stackable Layer 2 switch is comprised of 24 * 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with POE+ and 4 * 1G SFP uplink interfaces. The industry standard IEEE802.3at PoE+ provides up to 30W per port.

Know your gear

The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L Network Switch is a fixed-configuration, stackable Gigabit Ethernet switch that provides enterprise-class access for campus and branch applications. This Ethernet switch operates on Cisco IOS Software and supports simple device and network management. It offers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features as well as optional PoE+ power. The switches deliver enhanced application visibility, network reliability, and network resiliency.

Cisco’s 2960X and 2960XR Catalyst series switches come in 24 or 48 port Gigabit configurations with 4x fixed 1Gbps SFP, 2x 10Gbps SFP+, 1GbE, or a hybrid combination of uplink ports. All are in fixed configurations, most are stackable, and run with Cisco’s IOS software for simple device management. These are fully managed switches that provide L2 and L3 features with some models include PoE and PoE+ options. When calculating PoE requirements, make sure to reference the maximum PoE power budget of the chassis, how many devices are being powered, and how much wattage is required per device.  Most 2960XR line of switches have 2 removable power supplies for redundancy and a second power supply either enables PoE or increases the maximum PoE  power budget for the switch. This line of switches are designed for energy efficient deployment with a lower total cost of ownership, scalable, and secure.
