WS-C3560CX-12PC-S Is Cisco Catalyst 3560CX 12Port Layer 3 PoE Switch
The Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches easily expand your Ethernet and Multigigabit Ethernet infrastructure outside the wiring closet to enable new workspaces, extend wireless LANs, and connect PoE devices. These fanless, small form-factor switches are ideal for space-constrained deployments where multiple cable runs would be challenging. With speeds that reach 10Gbps, the Cisco Catalyst 3560CX Multigigabit Ethernet Switches support current and next-generation wireless speeds and standards (including 802.11ac Wave 2) on existing cabling infrastructure.
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX Series Compact Switches help optimize network deployments. These Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and Multigigabit Ethernet (mGig) managed switches are ideal for high-speed data connectivity, Wi-Fi backhaul, and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) connectivity in places where space is at a premium. With a single copper or fiber cable from the wiring closet, Cisco Catalyst compact switches enable IP connectivity for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, PCs, and video endpoints.
With their quiet, fanless design and compact footprint, these switches can come out of the data closet and be placed closer to the users. This means shorter cable runs and greater flexibility as you grow your network.

Cisco Catalyst Switch WS-C3560CX-12PC-S
SDA Extended Node provides Cisco DNA Center Automation and Assurance for C3560CX switches. It also extends Fabric Benefits (e.g. stretch subnet) to end points connected to the switches, allowing consistent segmentation and policy-based access.
SDA Extended Node requires Cisco DNA-A license on the C3560CX switches, and a Fabric-Edge Capable switch at the upstream.
This comprehensive set of Cisco Catalyst technologies and Cisco IOS Software features simplify LAN deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting.
● Cisco Smart Install enables the configuration of the Cisco IOS Software image and switch without user intervention.
● Cisco Auto Smartports provides automatic configuration as end devices connect to the switch port, allowing autodetection and plug-and-play of the device onto the network. Interface templates containing configurations or policies that can be applied to ports are also supported.
● Cisco Smart Troubleshooting is an extensive array of debug diagnostic commands and system health checks, including Generic Online Diagnostics (GOLD) and Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL).
● Embedded Event Manager (EEM), supported on the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX, provides real-time network event detection and onboard automation. You can adapt the behavior of your network devices to align with business needs.
● 8 or 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports with line rate forwarding performance
● 6 Gigabit Ethernet plus 2 Multigigabit Ethernet (100 Mbps/1/2.5/5/10 Gbps) ports with line rate forwarding performance (selected model)
● Gigabit and Multigigabit (100 Mbps/1/2.5/5/10 Gbps) copper, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or 10G SFP+ uplinks
● Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support with up to 240W of PoE budget
● Power over Ethernet (PoE) pass-through enables the compact switch to draw Cisco Universal PoE
● (Cisco UPOE™) power from the wiring closet and pass it to end devices (selected model) with the additional option to be powered by auxiliary AC-DC or DC-DC power adapter
● Cisco Instant Access mode to enable single point of management and simplify operation (selected models)
● Advanced Layer 2 (LAN Base) and Layer 3 (IP Base) support with an option to upgrade to IP services
● Fanless design and silent operation
● Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty (E-LLW)
Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series Switches come with an Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty (E-LLW). The E-LLW provides the same terms as Cisco’s standard limited lifetime warranty but adds next business day delivery of replacement hardware, where available, and 90 days of 8X5 Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support.
Your formal warranty statement, including the warranty applicable to Cisco software, appears in the Cisco information packet that accompanies your Cisco product. We encourage you to review carefully the warranty statement shipped with your specific product before use.
No. A non-PoE Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series Switch will not support PoE by using a PoE-capable power supply.
