Description
The Cisco WS-C3560CX-8PT is a compact, fanless Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for high-performance networking in space-constrained environments. With 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 uplink ports (1x Gigabit Ethernet copper and 1x SFP), it provides flexible deployment options for branch offices, retail spaces, or workgroups. Its quiet, fanless design makes it ideal for deployments outside of traditional wiring closets, such as on desktops or in open office areas. The switch supports Layer 3 routing capabilities, including static routing and RIP, making it a versatile choice for advanced network configurations.
This model supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), delivering up to 240W of total PoE power, which is sufficient to power IP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices directly from the switch. It features robust security with 802.1X authentication, DHCP snooping, and dynamic ARP inspection to help safeguard your network. Energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) and Cisco EnergyWise technology help reduce power consumption without compromising performance. When purchasing used, buyers should verify the condition of key components such as the power supply, port functionality, and licensing status to ensure reliable operation.
