Fanless Access Networking for Powered Branch Endpoints

WS-C3560-8PC-S is a fanless desktop access switch with eight 10/100 Mbps PoE ports, one fixed 1G dual-purpose uplink, and the IP Base software image. The Catalyst 3560 configuration operates at Layer 2+ as shipped, combining switched access with basic IP routing for enterprise and branch networks. Copper and fiber share the single uplink, so the two connectors cannot carry independent connections. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-8PC Compact Switch connects powered IP phones, wireless access points, and other compatible endpoints outside a traditional wiring closet. Port-level power controls allow administrators to enable automatic endpoint detection or suppress inline power when only a data connection is required. The discontinued WS-C3560-24PS-S offers a larger access configuration with a 370W PoE budget.

Technical Details

32 Gbps switching capacity defines the bandwidth available for switched traffic. 2.7 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets, providing a packet-rate limit separate from bandwidth. 124W of PoE power is allocated to attached endpoints, while the 204W maximum consumption supplies the upper figure for AC power planning. Static routing and RIPv1/RIPv2 handle basic routed traffic under the supplied software tier. WS-C3560-8PC-S carries 128 MB of DRAM and 32 MB of flash for runtime operation and image storage. The address tables accommodate 12000 MAC entries and 11000 unicast routes, keeping bridged address capacity distinct from routing scale. RSTP and UDLD handle spanning-tree convergence and unidirectional links. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 support network-management polling, while DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection provide checks against unauthorized address use. PoE+ is not supported on the powered access ports.

Ordering

WS-C3560-8PC-S is offered new sealed with up to 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply, and Cisco service ended July 31, 2018. Certified 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. Specify condition, quantity, and required accessories on the purchase order for this switch. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and provides RMA with advance replacement across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Software upgrade ordered separately

Advanced routing requires a separate IP Services upgrade license on WS-C3560-8PC-S. Specify the required installed image and software entitlement on the purchase order; certified refurbishment identifies hardware condition rather than a software upgrade.

Discontinued hardware refresh path

WS-C3560-8PC-S is discontinued, with end-of-sale on July 29, 2013. Refresh orders follow the replacement chain to C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A; the intermediate WS-C3560C-8PC-S and WS-C3560CX-8PC-S models are also discontinued.

Fiber optics ordered separately

A fiber uplink requires a separately ordered transceiver: GLC-SX-MM= for multimode fiber or GLC-LH-SM= for multimode or single-mode fiber. Specify the installed fiber type before adding optics to the purchase order.

Best For

Branch Rack Installation

When a branch rollout requires this compact chassis inside an equipment rack, RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= supplies the optional mounting brackets. The kit is not included with the switch, so rack installation requires a separate accessory line item. Specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= and the required site power connection before releasing the purchase order.

Powered Endpoint Replacement

When replacing powered endpoints on an existing network, confirm that each device accepts 802.3af or Cisco prestandard PoE and remains within the 15.4W per-port ceiling. Devices requiring higher-power negotiation need a different power plan. Itemize endpoint draw, power compatibility, and required connection counts before issuing the purchase order.

Predeployment Bench Staging

During predeployment bench testing, multiple units may share a staging shelf before assignment to sites. Each chassis requires at least 76 mm of clearance around its sides and ventilation openings, with nothing placed on top. Confirm shelf spacing, cable access, and power-receptacle locations before finalizing quantities and staging requirements.

Not Suitable If

Gigabit speeds on access ports

WS-C3560-8PC-S limits access connections to 10/100 Mbps. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A provides eight Gigabit access ports; the original switch's Gigabit uplink does not increase endpoint connection speeds.

PoE+ power for connected endpoints

WS-C3560-8PC-S supports PoE at 15.4W per port, not PoE+. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A supplies PoE+ with a 240W budget while retaining eight access ports.

Two independently active uplink connections

WS-C3560-8PC-S has one shared copper/fiber uplink, so its RJ-45 connector and SFP cage cannot operate independently. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A provides separate copper and SFP+ uplinks.

Questions & Answers

What does the WS-C3560-8PC-S part number mean?

WS-C3560-8PC-S identifies the Catalyst 3560 eight-port compact PoE configuration with IP Base. WS-C3560 identifies the switch family, 8 identifies the access-port count, PC describes the compact powered configuration with a dual-purpose uplink, and S identifies the supplied software image. The access ports operate at 10/100 Mbps.

How is WS-C3560-8PC-S managed?

WS-C3560-8PC-S supports the Cisco IOS CLI through console, SSHv2, or Telnet; the web-based device manager; Cisco Network Assistant; CiscoView; and SNMP management, including CiscoWorks LMS. Express Setup handles initial browser-based configuration. Specify the required management credentials and installed image before staging the unit for an existing network.

Is WS-C3560-8PC-S end of life?

Yes, WS-C3560-8PC-S reached end-of-sale on July 29, 2013, and Cisco support ended July 31, 2018. Its immediate replacement, WS-C3560C-8PC-S, is also discontinued, as is WS-C3560CX-8PC-S. The forward migration chain ends at C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A; the original PID remains an exact-match legacy hardware choice rather than a current Cisco-supported product.

What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for WS-C3560-8PC-S?

ORM Systems offers WS-C3560-8PC-S new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original limited hardware warranty and service ended July 31, 2018. WS-C3560-8PC-S-RF denotes Cisco remanufacturing, not ORM-certified refurbishment.

Which software licenses apply to WS-C3560-8PC-S?

WS-C3560-8PC-S ships with IP Base, and IP Services is a separately licensed software upgrade rather than a hardware port change. Hardware condition does not select the upgraded feature set. Specify the required image and entitlement independently so the supplied software matches the routing requirements of the installation.

What PoE budget does WS-C3560-8PC-S provide?

WS-C3560-8PC-S provides a 124W PoE budget across eight powered access ports. Each powered port supports 802.3af or Cisco prestandard PoE at a maximum of 15.4W. The total budget does not raise an individual port's power ceiling. Confirm endpoint draw and negotiation compatibility before specifying powered devices on the order.

Can the Catalyst 3560-8PC Compact Switch use copper and fiber uplinks simultaneously?

No, the Catalyst 3560-8PC Compact Switch has one dual-purpose Gigabit uplink shared between its RJ-45 connector and SFP cage. Those connectors cannot operate as independent uplinks. Choose copper or fiber for the connection, and specify the required fiber transceiver separately when the SFP cage will be used.

Which rack-mount kit fits the Catalyst 3560-8PC Compact Switch?

RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= fits the Catalyst 3560-8PC Compact Switch for rack installation. The chassis itself is a desktop form factor rather than a full-width rack chassis. The mounting kit is optional and not included with the switch; add RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= to the purchase order when rack mounting is required.

Does WS-C3560-8PC-S support redundant power supplies?

No, WS-C3560-8PC-S uses an internal AC supply and has no redundant-power connector. The unit accepts 100-240V AC through its power cord. PWR-RPS2300 cannot connect to this compact chassis, even though larger Catalyst 3560 models support external redundant power. Specify the site's AC connection rather than an additional redundant supply.

What routing does the Catalyst 3560 IP Base configuration support?

The Catalyst 3560 IP Base configuration supports static routing and RIPv1/RIPv2, including routing between VLANs. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 require IP Services rather than the supplied base image. The 11000-route hardware capacity is separate from software entitlement; specify the required feature set before relying on advanced routing protocols.

What is the difference between WS-C3560-8PC-S and WS-C3560-24PS-S?

WS-C3560-24PS-S offers a 370W PoE budget, compared with 124W on WS-C3560-8PC-S. Both models are discontinued and use IP Base. The compact model suits exact-match maintenance of smaller powered installations; WS-C3560-24PS-S suits legacy installations that require its larger aggregate PoE allocation rather than the compact chassis's power budget.

What is the difference between WS-C3560-8PC-S and WS-C3560-24PS-E?

WS-C3560-24PS-E includes IP Services, whereas WS-C3560-8PC-S ships with IP Base. IP Services adds advanced routing protocols excluded from the base image. Both models are discontinued; the compact model serves existing IP Base installations, while WS-C3560-24PS-E serves legacy installations requiring its advanced software configuration rather than basic static and RIP routing.

What is the difference between WS-C3560-8PC-S and C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A?

C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A provides eight Gigabit access ports, while WS-C3560-8PC-S provides eight 10/100 Mbps access ports. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A is the current endpoint of the replacement chain rather than the immediate discontinued replacement. The original model addresses exact-match legacy maintenance; the successor addresses refresh orders requiring Gigabit connections to endpoints.
