WS-C3560-48PS-E provides 48 Fast Ethernet PoE access ports and four fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks in a managed Layer 3 switch. The Catalyst 3560 occupies one rack unit and ships with the IP Services software image. Its access connections serve 10/100 Ethernet endpoints, including compatible IP phones, wireless access points and surveillance cameras; Gigabit connectivity resides in the uplink cages rather than the copper access ports. The fixed configuration has no removable uplink expansion card. The discontinued WS-C3560-48TS-E is the nearest non-PoE sibling for legacy installations that do not require endpoint power. This Fast Ethernet PoE switch belongs on a purchase order where maintaining the existing interface speed and software configuration matters more than introducing Gigabit access. Confirm the endpoint Ethernet requirements before selecting the chassis.

32 Gbps switching bandwidth handles aggregate traffic, while 13.1 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet size identifies the packet-processing limit. 370W of shared PoE capacity requires allocation across powered devices rather than assigning maximum power indiscriminately. OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP and BGPv4 provide dynamic IPv4 routing; PBR redirects selected traffic, and PIM-SM, PIM-DM and PIM-SDM support multicast routing. The forwarding resources accommodate 12000 MAC addresses and 11000 unicast routes. The control plane uses 128 MB of DRAM, with 16 MB of flash for software storage. WS-C3560-48PS-E supports console and network-based administration, with encrypted management dependent on the appropriate cryptographic image. STP, RSTP and MSTP address Layer 2 topology control, while LACP supports link aggregation. 530W maximum consumption provides the electrical planning figure for a fully loaded unit; 160W is the switch consumption excluding endpoint PoE power, not an idle measurement. IPv6 routing requires a different software image from the shipped configuration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560-48PS-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition and PSU status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Cisco's limited hardware warranty has ended, with Cisco service ending July 31, 2015; returns cover every condition for 30 days, terms apply. Specify the condition and required accessories on the PO; enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement.

A legacy phone or wireless endpoint installation needs a power allocation plan before additional devices are connected. A fully populated powered panel can allocate 7.7W per endpoint, rather than maximum per-port power everywhere. Record each device's requested allocation and startup requirements, then specify the powered-device mix before the PO.
An existing routed multicast installation needs replacement hardware that can reproduce its forwarding configuration. The family supports 1000 IGMP groups and multicast routes, making group membership and multicast route counts separate checks from ordinary unicast routing. Inventory those resources and the required software image before specifying a replacement unit.
A distributed organization replacing failed legacy equipment needs receiving and RMA arrangements aligned with the destination rather than a single central purchase. ORM Systems supports regional stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Specify the delivery region, receiving contact and required condition on each purchase order.
Gigabit Ethernet on access ports
The copper access ports stop at 100 Mbps. C9300L-48P-4G-A provides 48 native Gigabit copper access ports and is the current endpoint of the migration chain.
PoE+ power for connected endpoints
Each powered port supplies a maximum of 15.4W, not PoE+. C9300L-48P-4G-A supports PoE+ while retaining 48 copper access ports and four fixed Gigabit uplinks.

WS-C3560-48PS-E identifies a Catalyst 3560 with 48 Fast Ethernet PoE ports, four Gigabit SFP uplinks and IP Services. WS-C3560 identifies the family, 48 identifies the access-port count, PS identifies the PoE configuration with SFP uplinks, and E identifies IP Services, formerly called the Enhanced Multilayer Image.
WS-C3560-48PS-E supports a console CLI, Telnet, SSHv2 with a cryptographic image, web-based Express Setup, Cisco Network Assistant and CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support monitoring and administration. Confirm the installed image when encrypted management is required, and establish the management configuration before connecting production endpoints.
WS-C3560-48PS-E is discontinued, with end of sale on July 5, 2010 and the last date of support on July 31, 2015. Cisco service has ended. A purchase is therefore a legacy-hardware order, not a route to active manufacturer support; make that distinction explicit in procurement approval.
ORM offers WS-C3560-48PS-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns cover every condition for 30 days; terms apply. Cisco's limited hardware warranty is no longer active, and Cisco service ended July 31, 2015.
IP Services ships preinstalled on WS-C3560-48PS-E, rather than the IP Base image supplied on the S variant. IP Services includes advanced IPv4 unicast and multicast routing. Advanced IP Services is a separate image for IPv6 routing, so the required image and entitlement must match any configuration being restored.
370W is the shared PoE budget on WS-C3560-48PS-E, with a maximum of 15.4W per powered port. The available allocation supports 24 ports at maximum power or 48 ports at 7.7W. Check the requested power of every endpoint; the chassis cannot allocate maximum per-port power everywhere simultaneously.
The 48-port Catalyst 3560 configuration has four fixed Gigabit SFP uplinks, not 10G uplinks or a removable uplink card. Compatible transceiver choices include GLC-SX-MM=, GLC-LH-SM=, GLC-ZX-SM= and GLC-T=. Match the selected PID to the connection medium and the far-end interface, then identify the required quantities on the order.
WS-C3560-48PS-E supports OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP and BGPv4 through IP Services, alongside static routing, RIPv1 and RIPv2. PBR and multicast routing are also included. The forwarding scale is 11000 unicast routes; use that total when checking an existing routing configuration rather than treating a route subset as the chassis limit.
The Catalyst 3560 accepts external backup power from PWR675-AC-RPS-N1= through its rear RPS connection, with CAB-RPS-1614= available as the connection cable. That is external protection for the internal supply, not a second internal PSU. Match the existing backup arrangement and required cable before specifying a replacement chassis.
WS-C3560-48PS-E supplies PoE to access endpoints, while WS-C3560-48TS-E is non-PoE. Both retain Fast Ethernet access and Gigabit SFP uplinks with IP Services. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits legacy devices relying on switch-delivered power; the non-PoE model suits matching installations whose endpoints receive power elsewhere.
WS-C3560-48PS-E ships with IP Services, whereas WS-C3560-48PS-S ships with IP Base. IP Services enables advanced dynamic and multicast routing; IP Base provides static and RIP routing. Both are discontinued. Select the E image to reproduce advanced routing configurations, or the S image when matching a legacy IP Base installation.
C9300L-48P-4G-A has 48 native Gigabit copper access ports, while WS-C3560-48PS-E has 48 Fast Ethernet access ports. The latter is discontinued; the former is the current migration endpoint. The older chassis suits exact legacy interface matching, while the current model suits a refresh requiring Gigabit connectivity at each access endpoint.
C9300L-48P-4G-A is the current endpoint of the WS-C3560-48PS-E migration chain. The original replacement was WS-C3560V2-48PS-E, which was subsequently replaced by WS-C3650-48PS-E; both intermediate models are discontinued. Specify the current endpoint for a migration purchase rather than ordering an intermediate discontinued chassis merely because it appears as an older replacement.
The 48-port PoE Catalyst 3560 occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 378 mm deep, with a weight of 6 kg. Those dimensions describe the chassis rather than cable clearance. Check usable cabinet depth, mounting hardware and the receiving shelf arrangement before specifying the order.
