Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series switches are fixed-configuration, stackable Gigabit Ethernet switches that provide enterprise-class access for campus and branch applications. Designed for operational simplicity and lower total cost of ownership, they enable scalable, secure, and energy-efficient business operations with intelligent services.

These switches stand out with their FlexStack-Plus capability, allowing for mixed stacking with older 2960-S models, protecting your previous hardware investments. With integrated NetFlow Lite, network administrators gain deep visibility into the application traffic traversing the network. Furthermore, the 2960-X series is highly optimized for power consumption, featuring a Switch Hibernation Mode that significantly reduces energy usage during off-peak hours, making it one of the greenest switching platforms in the industry.

Key Specifications:

• Stacking: FlexStack-Plus (up to 8 switches, 80 Gbps throughput).

• Visibility: NetFlow Lite for flow-based application monitoring.

• Uplinks: 4 x 1G SFP or 2 x 10G SFP+ fixed ports.

• Power: Dual redundant power supply support and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).
