Product Description
The WS-C3560CX-8PC-S Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series switch is a compact, fixed-configuration Layer 3 managed switch designed for enterprise environments requiring quiet, flexible, and efficient access layer deployments. Key Features 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports with 240 W power budget 4 uplink combo ports (2 × 1 Gb SFP + 2 × 1 Gb copper) Fanless, silent operation ideal for open environments Supports up to 4,000 VLANs with advanced Layer 2/3 features Integrated internal power supply and secure remote management This switch is ideal for branch offices, classrooms, retail stores, or compact wiring closets where space and noise are concerns. It enables reliable wired access for VoIP, surveillance, and other PoE-dependent devices.

Use Cases
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series C3560CX-8PC switch is optimally designed for compact network environments that require reliable, high-performance Ethernet connectivity with PoE+ capabilities. It is particularly suited for small to medium-sized enterprise sites, branch offices, and edge locations where space is limited and silent operation is critical. How It's Used: Deploying in office meeting rooms to power and connect IP phones, wireless access points, and video conferencing systems without additional power cabling. Integrating into retail store networks to manage point-of-sale terminals and digital signage with flexible uplink options for centralized control. Supporting edge computing nodes in manufacturing floors where space constraints and noise sensitivity demand compact, fanless switches. Facilitating branch office connectivity with Layer 3 routing capabilities to simplify network segmentation and traffic management. Enabling smart building infrastructure by powering and connecting IoT devices such as security cameras and environmental sensors within limited rack or desktop spaces. This switch enhances operational efficiency by consolidating networking and power delivery in a single device, reducing infrastructure complexity. Its scalability and managed Layer 3 features support evolving network demands in distributed environments while maintaining high performance and low latency.
