Product Review

The Cisco WS-C2960S-48LPS-L switch offers 48 Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and a total available PoE power of 370W, making it suitable for deploying VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE devices. With a forwarding rate of 77.4 Mpps and switching bandwidth of 176 Gbps, it ensures efficient handling of network traffic, though its DRAM and Flash memory capacities, at 128 MB and 64 MB respectively, may limit its performance in highly demanding environments. Additionally, the option for FlexStack stacking enhances scalability, but users should note the relatively high sound levels at 42 dB, which might be a consideration in noise-sensitive installations.

Overview

The Cisco WS-C2960S-48LPS-L switch is designed to provide efficient and reliable network connectivity for medium to large enterprises. It features 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet interfaces for high-speed data transfer and connectivity across a wide range of devices. Additionally, it includes four SFP uplink interfaces, enhancing its capacity for network expansion and integration with other network devices. This switch is powered by the Cisco IOS Software with a LAN Base feature set, tailored for layer 2 switching. It supports a forwarding rate of 77.4 Mpps (million packets per second) and boasts a forwarding bandwidth of 88 Gbps, coupled with a switching bandwidth of 176 Gbps. This ensures swift data processing and transmission across the network, minimizing bottlenecks and enhancing overall performance. One of the notable features of this switch is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, with an available power budget of 370 W. This allows for the direct power supply to connected devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, simplifying the network infrastructure and reducing cabling requirements. - Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for layer 3 packets is 9198 Bytes, supporting high-performance data transmission. - Jumbo Frames support up to 9216 Bytes, advantageous for reducing CPU load on large data transfers. - Optional FlexStack stacking allows for scalability and management simplicity by connecting multiple switches. The switch also supports up to 255 active VLANs and provides 4000 VLAN IDs, facilitating network segmentation and enhancing security. With an MTU for L3 packets at 9198 bytes and support for jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes, it is capable of handling large data packets efficiently, improving network performance. Physically, the switch measures 1.75 x 17.5 x 15.2 inches and weighs 12.5 lbs, making it suitable for rack mounting in a standard 19-inch rack. The operational noise level is notably low, with a sound pressure of 42 dB and a sound power of 5.2 B, minimizing noise in the working environment. In terms of reliability, the Cisco WS-C2960S-48LPS-L has an impressive mean time between failures (MTBF) of 205,052 hours, ensuring long-term operational stability. It is equipped with 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash memory, sufficient for its operational needs and software requirements. The switch operates within a temperature range of -5 °C to 40 °C at an altitude of up to 10,000 ft and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -25 °C to 70 °C. Its operational humidity range is from 10% to 95% (non-condensing), allowing it to function in a wide variety of environmental conditions. In summary, the Cisco WS-C2960S-48LPS-L is a versatile and efficient networking switch that meets the needs of modern businesses. Its combination of high-speed interfaces, PoE capability, and advanced software features, along with its environmental resilience, make it a reliable choice for enterprise networking solutions.
