Will the GLC-T= be compatible with WS-C2960S-48FPD-L

[jbaly]

Current documentation says no, (but the datasheet implies yes)

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/hardware/installation/guide_stack/HIGOVERV.html#wp1250224

But customer believes that it's a future support. Can anyone confirm?

2960S-48FPD-L does not support GLC-T.  See table 1-3 for supported optics in the same link you provided.

Does that mean never will?

[Reza Sharifi]

Who knows James. I know, if there isn't enough demand/request for it, Cisco will not add it.

So, I would tell the customer, no at this time.

GLC-T will NEVER be supported.  The decision is based on this logic:   Why use GLC-T when you can use the copper ports available?  Not enough switchports for uplink?  Get another switch.
