Product Review

The Cisco WS-C2960S-F48FPS-L switch offers 48 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports with PoE/PoE+ support and a total available PoE power of 740W, catering well to midsize campus and branch networks needing to power multiple devices. With four SFP uplink interfaces, it provides flexibility for fiber connectivity, although the 10/100 ports might be a limiting factor for environments requiring gigabit speed to desktops. The inclusion of FlexStack technology, a USB storage interface for easy file management, and a solid switching capacity of 176 Gbps, balanced against somewhat limited DRAM and Flash memory, positions this device as a functional choice for specific network scenarios requiring high-density PoE support but not high-speed internal connectivity.
