Specifications

   Product Overview:
  • The Cisco WS-X2931-XL is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet uplink module engineered to provide high-speed backbone connectivity for the Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL Series switches. Equipped with a 1000Base-X SC fiber interface, this module is ideal for uplinking to core switches or connecting remote network segments over fiber, enabling gigabit-speed interconnects in enterprise, campus, and industrial networks.
  • The WS-X2931-XL offers a flexible and reliable fiber-based solution for organizations requiring faster throughput, longer distance coverage, and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to traditional copper links. It supports standard multimode fiber (MMF) connections over a distance of up to 550 meters, making it a future-proof investment for network expansion.
  • Easy to install and fully integrated into the Catalyst 2900 XL architecture, this uplink module allows centralized management and advanced VLAN configurations via Cisco's networking tools, offering both speed and control for scalable LAN infrastructures.
