WS-C3560-24PS-S Overview

WS-C3560-24PS-S is a Cisco Catalyst 3560 managed access switch for legacy enterprise wiring closets that need 24 x 10/100 copper PoE ports, 2 x SFP uplinks, and the Cisco IP Base image. Cisco's end-of-life notice identifies the SKU as a Catalyst 3560 24 10/100 PoE + 2 SFP + IPB Image model, which separates it from IP Services variants in the same retired family. The switch is used as a fixed access-layer replacement where the installed design still depends on Fast Ethernet copper access and SFP-based uplink handoff.

The SKU is best treated as a retired Catalyst 3560 standalone access switch rather than a current Catalyst 9000 refresh model. It supports classic Catalyst access workflows such as VLAN assignment, trunking, spanning tree planning, PoE endpoint connection, uplink validation, console staging, SNMP monitoring, and Cisco IOS configuration review, with feature-level requirements checked against the installed IOS release. Because Cisco's currently accessible public support and EOL pages do not expose a full hardware performance table for this exact retired SKU, unverified values such as switching capacity, forwarding rate, memory, PoE wattage, dimensions, and weight are intentionally recorded as N/A in the specification JSON.

WS-C3560-24PS-S fits like-for-like replacement, spare-unit programs, lab support, and maintenance of older access closets where the approved bill of materials still calls for a Catalyst 3560 24-port PoE model with IP Base image. It can connect legacy IP phones, access points, cameras, printers, terminals, and user devices while preserving the original copper and SFP uplink layout. ORM Systems supplies this switch in new old stock or certified refurbished condition where available, with refurbishment checks focused on RJ-45 link response, PoE behavior, SFP uplink status, boot health, fan condition, and management access before dispatch.

WS-C3560-24PS-S Use Case

Legacy PoE Access Closet

WS-C3560-24PS-S operates in a legacy access closet where 24 x 10/100 copper ports provide PoE to phones, access points, cameras, and other older endpoints. Engineers restore VLAN, trunk, spanning-tree, uplink, and management settings from the existing Catalyst configuration, then reconnect the 2 x SFP uplinks toward distribution. The IP Base image keeps the replacement aligned with the installed Standard Image requirement. The closet regains the approved access profile without changing cabling, endpoint speed, or spare-part policy. This keeps emergency swaps simple for technicians.

Spare Inventory Replacement

A spare inventory program uses WS-C3560-24PS-S where operations teams maintain older Catalyst 3560 PoE deployments while larger refresh planning remains separate. Refurbishment teams test RJ-45 link response, PoE behavior, SFP uplink status, fan operation, boot health, and management access before assigning the unit as a field spare. The SKU gives technicians a like-for-like replacement for the IP Base version. The network gains a controlled maintenance path for restoring service after an access-switch failure. This supports faster recovery while refresh projects wait.

Legacy Lab and Staging

A legacy lab uses WS-C3560-24PS-S to mirror older production closets before maintenance work begins. Engineers stage VLANs, trunks, port descriptions, SFP uplinks, PoE endpoint tests, and management monitoring in a controlled rack, then document the configuration for field replacement. The 24-port Fast Ethernet access profile supports phones, cameras, printers, terminals, and test hosts that still match the retired Catalyst design. This lab role reduces deployment uncertainty when production sites cannot immediately move to current Catalyst platforms. Technicians also confirm optic labeling before shipment.

Questions & Answers

What is WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S is a Cisco Catalyst 3560 legacy managed access switch with 24 x 10/100 PoE ports and 2 x SFP uplinks. Cisco identifies the model as an IPB Image SKU, meaning it belongs to the IP Base or Standard Image class rather than the IP Services sibling.

What does the WS-C3560-24PS-S model number identify?

The model number identifies a Cisco Catalyst 3560 24-port PoE switch with SFP uplinks and the IP Base image. The 24PS portion maps to 24 10/100 PoE access ports plus SFP uplinks, while the S suffix distinguishes the Standard or IPB image version from E-suffix IP Services models.

What type of hardware is WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S is fixed-configuration Catalyst access-switch hardware. It is not a modular chassis and does not use removable uplink modules. The copper access ports, PoE capability, and SFP uplink positions are part of the chassis, making it useful for like-for-like maintenance of older Catalyst 3560 access closets.

Where does WS-C3560-24PS-S sit in the Cisco Catalyst lineup?

WS-C3560-24PS-S sits in the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series, a retired campus access-switch family. Cisco's support page lists the Catalyst 3560 Series as end of support, so this SKU is normally sourced for legacy replacement, sparing, lab use, or controlled maintenance rather than as a current-generation access-switch standard.

How many ports does WS-C3560-24PS-S have?

Cisco's end-of-life table identifies WS-C3560-24PS-S as a 24 x 10/100 PoE switch with 2 x SFP uplinks. The practical port plan is therefore 24 copper Fast Ethernet powered access ports plus two SFP uplink interfaces for fiber or compatible SFP handoff in the original design.

Which software image is associated with WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S is associated with the IPB Image in Cisco's product table. IPB is the IP Base or Standard Image class for this retired model family. Buyers should verify the installed IOS version and feature set on the exact unit when a controlled network requires specific routing, security, or management capabilities.

Is WS-C3560-24PS-S a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?

WS-C3560-24PS-S belongs to the Catalyst 3560 multilayer access family and should be treated as a managed Layer 3-capable access switch. Because feature support can depend on the installed IOS image and software release, routing expectations should be validated during staging rather than assumed from the hardware label alone.

Does WS-C3560-24PS-S support PoE?

Yes. Cisco's affected-product table identifies WS-C3560-24PS-S as a PoE model. The accessible Cisco pages used for this workbook confirm PoE capability but do not publish the exact power budget for the SKU, so the PoE budget field is kept as N/A and should be verified during quotation or testing.

What uplinks are built into WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S includes 2 x SFP uplinks according to Cisco's end-of-life product table. These uplinks are used for access-to-distribution handoff in older closet designs. Buyers should confirm supported SFP transceivers, fiber type, distance, and connector requirements against the installed network before replacing a production switch.

Does WS-C3560-24PS-S use a modular uplink card?

No. WS-C3560-24PS-S is treated as a fixed-configuration Catalyst 3560 switch with SFP uplinks built into the model. It does not use the removable uplink module approach found on later modular Catalyst families. Procurement should therefore focus on the exact chassis SKU and compatible SFP optics or cables.

Is WS-C3560-24PS-S stackable?

WS-C3560-24PS-S should be treated as a standalone Catalyst 3560 access switch, not as a StackWise 3750 switch. Larger legacy access blocks normally rely on uplink aggregation, distribution switching, or separate management per switch. Buyers needing single-control-plane stacking should evaluate a different Catalyst family or replacement standard.

What is WS-C3560-24PS-S used for?

WS-C3560-24PS-S is used for legacy access switching where 24 Fast Ethernet copper ports need PoE and two SFP uplinks preserve the original closet design. Typical uses include like-for-like replacement, spare inventory, lab staging, maintenance support, and controlled upgrades where the network cannot immediately move to newer Catalyst platforms.

What size network does WS-C3560-24PS-S fit best?

WS-C3560-24PS-S fits small or medium legacy access closets that still run 10/100 copper drops and require PoE for selected endpoints. It is less suitable for new high-density Gigabit, multigigabit, or 10G access builds. Modern refresh projects should compare current Catalyst alternatives before standardizing on this retired hardware.

What endpoint mix suits WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S suits older endpoint mixes such as IP phones, legacy access points, cameras, printers, terminals, and user devices that still connect at Fast Ethernet speeds. Because the switch is a retired PoE model, buyers should confirm endpoint power draw and testing results before using it for dense powered-device replacement.

How is WS-C3560-24PS-S managed?

WS-C3560-24PS-S is managed through legacy Catalyst Cisco IOS workflows, including console staging, CLI configuration, SNMP monitoring, syslog collection, VLAN setup, trunk configuration, and interface-level policy review. Specific management features should be checked against the installed IOS release because retired units can arrive with different software versions or configuration histories.

Which SFP optics should be planned for WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S uses SFP uplink ports, so optic planning should follow the supported-transceiver list for the Catalyst 3560 hardware and installed IOS release. Buyers should specify required media type, fiber distance, connector type, and any existing distribution-side optics when requesting a quote to avoid mismatched uplink parts.

How does WS-C3560-24PS-S compare with WS-C3560-24PS-E?

Both models belong to the Catalyst 3560 24-port 10/100 PoE switch class with 2 x SFP uplinks. Cisco's table separates the S model as IPB Image and the E model as IPS Image. Buyers should match the suffix to the approved feature set, spare standard, or installed configuration requirement.

How does WS-C3560-24PS-S compare with WS-C3560-24TS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S and WS-C3560-24TS-S are both 24-port Catalyst 3560 10/100 access models with 2 x SFP uplinks and IPB Image positioning. The key difference is PoE: the 24PS model is the PoE version, while the 24TS model is listed without PoE in Cisco's affected-product table.

How does WS-C3560-24PS-S compare with WS-C3560-48PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S is the 24-port PoE model with 2 x SFP uplinks, while WS-C3560-48PS-S is the 48-port PoE model with 4 x SFP uplinks. Both are listed with IPB Image positioning. Buyers choose based on access-port density, uplink count, rack plan, and installed-base replacement needs during spare selection.

How does WS-C3560-24PS-S compare with WS-C3750-24PS-S?

Cisco lists both SKUs as 24 x 10/100 PoE models with 2 x SFP uplinks and IPB Image positioning. The practical family difference is platform role: Catalyst 3560 is a standalone access-switch family, while Catalyst 3750 is associated with StackWise stacking. Replacement projects should match the installed platform exactly.

How does WS-C3560-24PS-S compare with WS-C3560V2-24PS-S?

Cisco's lifecycle notice lists WS-C3560V2-24PS-S as the replacement product for WS-C3560-24PS-S. Both descriptions preserve the 24-port 10/100 PoE plus 2 x SFP Standard or IPB profile, but the V2 model belongs to the later Catalyst 3560V2 generation. Buyers should confirm compatibility and site standards before substituting.

Is WS-C3560-24PS-S available new or refurbished?

WS-C3560-24PS-S can be quoted through ORM Systems in new old stock or certified refurbished condition when supply is available. Availability depends on legacy inventory, inbound stock, testing queue, condition grade, optic or power-cord requirements, and warranty expectations. Buyers should provide quantity and deployment timing for accurate sourcing.

What affects the price of WS-C3560-24PS-S?

Pricing depends on condition, quantity, cosmetic grade, tested PoE status, SFP optic needs, power cord region, rack accessory requirements, warranty term, destination, and current legacy-market availability. A spare-unit quote can differ from a configured batch that needs matched condition, optics, port testing, and documented refurbishment checks.

Is WS-C3560-24PS-S end of life?

Yes. Cisco's lifecycle notice covers WS-C3560-24PS-S under the Catalyst 3560 24- and 48-port 10/100 switch announcement, and Cisco's support page lists the Catalyst 3560 Series as end of support. Buyers should treat the SKU as legacy replacement hardware rather than current Cisco access-switch stock.

What lead time should buyers expect for WS-C3560-24PS-S?

Lead time depends on available legacy stock, requested condition, quantity, refurbishment queue, accessory bundle, SFP optic requirements, and destination. Refurbished units and matched batches can have different dispatch windows. A quote request should include deployment date, power cord region, warranty needs, and any required port or PoE validation.

How is refurbished WS-C3560-24PS-S checked before dispatch?

Refurbished WS-C3560-24PS-S units should be validated for chassis condition, boot behavior, fan operation, RJ-45 link response, PoE behavior, SFP uplink response, power status, console access, and management login. For this SKU, PoE and uplink testing matter because replacements often restore service in older production access closets.

Which certifications apply to WS-C3560-24PS-S?

The accessible Cisco support and lifecycle pages used for this workbook do not publish a certification table for WS-C3560-24PS-S, so the certification field is set to N/A. Buyers with compliance, import, or regulated-environment requirements should request documentation or an audit package before procurement and deployment approval.

What is needed to configure WS-C3560-24PS-S for first use?

First-use staging should include console access, IOS version review, configuration cleanup, management IP setup, VLAN and trunk configuration, spanning-tree review, PoE policy checks, SFP uplink validation, SNMP or syslog monitoring, and backup of the final configuration. Engineers should also confirm installed image and feature support before production cutover.

Does WS-C3560-24PS-S require a license?

WS-C3560-24PS-S does not follow the modern Catalyst Network Essentials, Network Advantage, or Smart Licensing subscription model. Cisco identifies it by installed image class, specifically IPB Image for the S model. Buyers should still verify the running IOS image, support expectations, and any internal compliance needs before deployment.

What accessories should be ordered with WS-C3560-24PS-S?

Common accessories include a regional power cord, rack-mount hardware, console cable, RJ-45 patch leads, supported SFP optics, and fiber or copper uplink patching as required by the site.

Where can buyers purchase WS-C3560-24PS-S in the UK?

Buyers can request WS-C3560-24PS-S from ORM Systems for UK procurement, subject to legacy stock, condition, configuration, and validation requirements. A useful quote request includes the exact SKU, quantity, required condition, SFP optic needs, power cord region, warranty term, delivery location, and target deployment date for purchasing approval.

Does ORM Systems ship WS-C3560-24PS-S internationally?

ORM Systems supports international hardware requests for enterprise IT products, including legacy Cisco Catalyst switching, subject to availability, export checks, logistics options, and destination requirements. For WS-C3560-24PS-S, buyers should provide destination country, quantity, condition preference, accessory bundle, warranty needs, and target delivery date so shipping details can be confirmed.

Why are some WS-C3560-24PS-S specification fields listed as N/A?

Some fields are listed as N/A because the accessible Cisco support and lifecycle pages confirm the exact SKU, ports, PoE class, SFP uplinks, image family, and lifecycle status, but do not expose every hardware value. Accuracy-first content keeps unsupported figures out of the database rather than estimating retired-product specifications.
