Cisco Catalyst 2960S/SF Switches - Refurbished, Used, New
Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switches are fixed-configuration Gigabit access switches for wiring closets, branch offices and schools, built to power IP phones, cameras and access points at the edge while uplinking to a distribution layer over SFP or SFP+. The 2960-S models on this page are 48-port PoE+ switches in the LAN Base version, and they stack with FlexStack: a C2960S-STACK module in the rear slot plus CAB-STK-E cables joins up to four switches into one managed unit. The 2960-S also shares its FlexStack cables and its power supply with the later 2960-X. NetworkTigers sells 2960-S switches, FlexStack modules, stacking cables and power supplies refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which Catalyst 2960-S do I need?
Read the model number. The letters after the port count tell you the PoE budget and the uplinks: LP is 370 W of PoE+, enough for phones and a few access points; FP is 740 W, which can run 30 W on half the ports or 15.4 W on all 48. The last letter is the uplink: S for two 1G SFP ports, D for two 10G SFP+ ports. Pick the FPD when the closet uplinks to a 10G core or when several switches share one uplink pair through a stack. For stacking, each switch needs its own C2960S-STACK module, and a stack of N switches needs N cables to close the ring. The 341-0382-02 is the replacement power supply for the PoE+ models; a data-only or lower-power 2960-S takes a different supply, so match the part number on the unit you are repairing. Uplink optics are sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can a 2960-S stack with a 2960-X?
Yes, with limits. A 2960-X stacks with a 2960-S when the 2960-X runs in FlexStack mode rather than FlexStack-Plus, and the whole stack then runs at FlexStack speeds and with 2960-S features. For a new closet, keep the stack to one model line.
What is the difference between the 2960-S and the 2960-SF?
The 2960-SF is the Fast Ethernet version of the same platform: 10/100 access ports instead of Gigabit, with the same chassis, FlexStack module and cables. The switches on this page are the Gigabit 2960-S.
Does the switch ship with the stacking module installed?
Only when the listing says so. The FlexStack module is a separate part and many switches were sold without one, so check the listing or order the C2960S-STACK alongside the switch.
