Hi.. I am not sure whether Cisco make any 2960X non PoE with 1G uplink module(Not 10G). If it is.. could you please confirm model name.

There are lots of options.

Thanks Philip, one more query.. I want to stack six  2960X switches, where first and last switch will be of model C2960X-48TD-L because I want to have 10G uplinks and rest middle four switches will be of C2960X-48TS-L model because these will not have uplinks connectivity so choosed it. This I will be doing due to cost cutting. I would like to know what would be impact in this case.

Thanks.

Your choice of uplinks and port density is a question of what you want the over-subscription ratio to be.

If you had 6 x 48 ports 1Gb/s, or 288Gb/s (in one direction) and you used 4 x 10Gbe uplinks, then you'll have a 7.2:1 over-subscription ratio.  Actually it'll be worse than that, because I think FlexStack has an 80Gb/s connection.

What when you are talking about users, the ports are not very busy most of the time, so it should be fine.
