Fanless Powered Access for Enterprise Network Edges
WS-C3560C-12PC-S is a fanless, managed Layer 3 desktop switch with twelve 10/100 PoE+ access ports and two fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks. Each uplink uses its copper connection or SFP cage, rather than providing two independent connections. The Catalyst 3560-C series extends enterprise access to compact installations serving phones, retail terminals and classroom equipment. IP Base is the included Cisco IOS feature set. The discontinued WS-C3560CG-8TC-S differs by providing no PoE output. This 12-port Fast Ethernet PoE+ compact switch combines powered endpoint connections with copper or fiber upstream connectivity, without a removable uplink-module bay.
WS-C3560C-12PC-S price for new stock is $1,386.00, a 30.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,000.00. WS-C3560C-12PC-S refurb price is $168.00. WS-C3560C-12PC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
4.8 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet size defines small-packet processing performance. 159W power consumption at full throughput with maximum PoE loading provides the electrical sizing figure, rather than the lower consumption measured without powered endpoints. OSPF supports routed access under IP Base. WS-C3560C-12PC-S carries 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash memory for its operating software and configuration. CLI administration is complemented by Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Network Assistant. LACP supports link aggregation, while voice VLAN support separates telephone traffic from data traffic. MACsec is absent on this model, so encrypted Ethernet links cannot be specified as an included capability.
Ordering
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3560C-12PC-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty ended October 31, 2021.

Best For
Legacy Compact Refresh
When replacing an installed WS-C3560-12PC-S, distinguish the older part number from its compact successor before preparing the purchase order. The older model reached end of sale on July 29, 2013. Record WS-C3560C-12PC-S explicitly on the PO and check existing uplink media and mounting arrangements.
Cabinet Mounting Orders
When a branch rollout places compact switches in equipment cabinets rather than on desktops, mounting hardware becomes a separate purchasing decision. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides rack mounting brackets for this compact family. Specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= on the accessory schedule and confirm cabinet mounting requirements before releasing the PO.
Encrypted Administration Staging
When staging requires encrypted remote administration, SSH requires a cryptographic Cisco IOS image rather than configuration alone. The same image requirement affects cryptographic SNMPv3 support. Include the required image in the acceptance criteria and verify the installed software during staging before approving the purchase order.
Not Suitable If
Gigabit speed on every access port
The twelve access ports operate at 10/100 speeds; Gigabit connectivity belongs to the uplinks. A deployment requiring Gigabit endpoint connections exceeds this model's native access-port speed.
MACsec encryption on Ethernet links
WS-C3560C-12PC-S does not provide MACsec. Requirements for encrypted switch-to-endpoint or upstream Ethernet links therefore exceed the security capability included on this hardware model.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco hardware support ended October 31, 2021. C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A is the current successor after the discontinued WS-C3560CX-12PC-S; specify that successor for a supported-generation procurement.

Questions & Answers
What does the part number WS-C3560C-12PC-S mean?
WS-C3560C identifies the Catalyst 3560-C switch; 12 denotes twelve Fast Ethernet access ports; PC corresponds to the PoE+ configuration with dual-purpose uplinks; S identifies IP Base. WS-C3560C-12PC-S combines powered access connections with a fixed uplink arrangement and the included software feature set.
How is the Catalyst 3560-C series managed?
The Catalyst 3560-C series supports CLI administration, Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Network Assistant, with SNMP monitoring. Console access uses RS-232 or Mini USB, while remote administration supports Telnet or SSH. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require a cryptographic Cisco IOS image on the supplied unit.
Is WS-C3560C-12PC-S end of life?
Yes, WS-C3560C-12PC-S reached end of sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco hardware support ended October 31, 2021. New sealed condition does not restart Cisco support. Its direct replacement, WS-C3560CX-12PC-S, is also discontinued; the forward replacement chain ends at C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A.
What conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for WS-C3560C-12PC-S?
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560C-12PC-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty has ended because hardware support ended October 31, 2021.
Can the software feature set on WS-C3560C-12PC-S be upgraded?
No, WS-C3560C-12PC-S includes IP Base and cannot be upgraded to a higher software feature set. Software selection therefore belongs in the hardware purchasing decision rather than a later feature-set upgrade. The included image supports routed access, but another feature-set purchase does not expand this model's licensing path.
Which older switch does WS-C3560C-12PC-S replace?
WS-C3560C-12PC-S replaces WS-C3560-12PC-S, which reached end of sale on July 29, 2013. The older model carried one combined copper/SFP uplink, whereas its successor provides two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks. The complete part number distinguishes these similarly named compact switches when preparing an installed-base replacement order.
What uplinks does WS-C3560C-12PC-S provide?
WS-C3560C-12PC-S provides two 1G dual-purpose uplinks, each using copper or an SFP connection rather than both media simultaneously. The uplink arrangement is fixed, not a removable network-module bay. Fiber orders require compatible optics and an accessory check; the two copper connections and two SFP cages are not four independent uplinks.
How much PoE power is available on WS-C3560C-12PC-S?
WS-C3560C-12PC-S supplies a shared 124W PoE budget across twelve PoE+ access ports, with a 30W per-port limit. Twelve endpoints drawing 30W each would require 360W, exceeding that shared budget. Endpoint power allocation must therefore reflect actual device requirements rather than the sum of every port's individual maximum.
Does WS-C3560C-12PC-S support OSPF routing?
Yes, WS-C3560C-12PC-S supports OSPF under its included IP Base feature set, making the switch a Layer 3 model. Routed access is included rather than dependent on a higher software-tier purchase. The fixed IP Base feature set remains the boundary for software selection on this compact hardware.
What is the difference between WS-C3560C-12PC-S and WS-C3560CG-8TC-S?
WS-C3560C-12PC-S supplies PoE+ output, whereas WS-C3560CG-8TC-S provides no PoE output. Both models are discontinued and their Cisco hardware support has ended. The powered model suits legacy orders requiring switch-supplied endpoint power; the data-only model suits an existing installation whose endpoints receive power independently.
What is the difference between WS-C3560C-12PC-S and WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S?
WS-C3560C-12PC-S uses an internal AC power supply, whereas WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S accepts upstream PoE power or auxiliary input. Both models are discontinued. The internal-supply model suits AC-powered legacy installations; the PD-capable model matches an existing installation that powers the compact switch through its upstream Ethernet connection.
What is the difference between WS-C3560C-12PC-S and C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A?
WS-C3560C-12PC-S is beyond Cisco's hardware support date, whereas C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A is the current successor in its replacement chain. The intermediate WS-C3560CX-12PC-S reached end of sale on April 30, 2024. The older model suits like-for-like legacy sparing; the current successor suits a supported-generation refresh purchase.
