Description

The 2960XR series of stacking switches are designed to bring enterprise grade connectivity to campus and branch locations. These powerful yet simple switches are highly scalable, energy efficient, and feature rich, providing the services and speeds modern businesses have come to expect from Cisco, without being over complicated or expensive.

Building on the popular 2960X platform, the 2960XR series of switches replaces the single, fixed power supply of the 2960X with the option for up to two redundant, field replicable power supplies – allowing for improved uptime and flexibility compared to its predecessors. The 2960XR switches also ship with “IP Lite” IOS software, an upgrade from the 2960X LAN Base image that adds dynamic routing and layer 3 features to this already powerful platform.

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C2960XR-48TD-I comes equipped with 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, as well as two SFP uplink ports,? making it ideal for high density deployments, or networks where 10G uplinks are required.

All 2960XR switches are stackable, allowing up to 8 switches to form a single unit with up to 80 Gbps of stack throughput. This is exceptionally useful in high density networks with large amounts of internal communication and data transfer, such as expansive wireless networks, companies that do internal video conferencing, or resource intensive hosted applications.? Stacking is an optional add on that requires a flex stack module and a FlexStack-Plus stacking cable, which are available upon request.
