WS-C3560C-8PC-S is a fanless Layer 3 desktop access switch with eight 10/100 Mbps PoE+ ports for powered endpoints and two fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks for upstream connectivity. Each uplink uses either its RJ-45 connector or its SFP cage, rather than providing two independent connections. The Catalyst 3560-C ships with IP Base Cisco IOS for routed enterprise access extensions serving IP phones, point-of-sale terminals and printers. The Cisco Catalyst compact switch family extends managed connectivity into locations where separate cable runs for every endpoint are impractical. Unlike discontinued WS-C3560CG-8TC-S, which has no PoE output, this model supplies power through its access connections.
WS-C3560C-8PC-S price for new stock is $624.75, a 61% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,600.00. WS-C3560C-8PC-S refurb price is $178.50. WS-C3560C-8PC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

10 Gbps forwarding bandwidth provides the switching fabric capacity for traffic between the connected interfaces. 4.2 Mpps forwarding applies to 64-byte packets and supplies the small-packet throughput figure for traffic sizing. 124W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocations to remain within the aggregate limit, even though an individual PoE+ port supports 30W. OSPF enables routed access using the supplied software feature set. WS-C3560C-8PC-S carries 128 MB of DRAM for operation and 64 MB of flash for software storage. LACP and PAgP support Ethernet channel formation with compatible upstream equipment. Administration includes CLI access, SSH with a cryptographic software image, SNMP and graphical configuration through Cisco Network Assistant. MACsec is not supported on this Fast Ethernet model, so endpoint-link encryption cannot be assumed from capabilities elsewhere in the family. 158W consumption with maximum PoE loading is the relevant published figure for AC power allocation.
Order WS-C3560C-8PC-S in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying quantities and required accessories on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status and clean boot; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM Systems provides up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime hardware coverage ended October 31, 2021. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted purchase orders, with Net-30 available for government.

When a branch purchase must fit an existing 19-inch equipment rack, the compact chassis uses RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= mounting brackets rather than a full-width enclosure. Treat mounting hardware as a separate order decision. Confirm rack dimensions, installation position and bracket inclusion before releasing the purchase order.
When a spare needs configuration before a maintenance window, Mini USB and RS-232 console access provide local connection choices. The staging checklist should identify the workstation connection, saved configuration and required access settings. Specify the console connection and configuration preparation before issuing the purchase order.
When several sites share a replacement-stock policy, define the quantities held locally and the RMA location before ordering. ORM Systems provides regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA, including advance replacement. Specify condition, spare quantities and the required regional RMA arrangement on the purchase order.
More than 124W of endpoint power
The shared endpoint power allocation is 124W. For a larger aggregate requirement, the current successor C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A provides 240W across eight PoE+ ports.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed dual-purpose uplinks stop at 1G, and the chassis has no uplink expansion bay. A removable network module cannot add 10G connectivity to this model.
MACsec on endpoint-facing connections
This Fast Ethernet model does not support MACsec, although certain Gigabit members of the family do. A requirement for encrypted endpoint Ethernet links excludes this configuration.

WS-C3560C-8PC-S identifies a Catalyst 3560-C switch with eight Fast Ethernet PoE+ access ports, two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks and IP Base. WS-C3560C is the family segment, 8PC identifies the powered eight-port configuration, and S identifies the IP Base variant. The uplinks accept copper or SFP connectivity.
WS-C3560C-8PC-S supports CLI management through local console connections and remote SSH or Telnet, plus SNMP, Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Local console choices include Mini USB and RS-232. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the cryptographic software image, which should be specified for secure administration.
Yes, WS-C3560C-8PC-S reached end of sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. Its direct replacement, WS-C3560CX-8PC-S, is also discontinued following end of sale on April 30, 2024. The replacement chain now leads to the current C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560C-8PC-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 original enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2021. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default.
IP Base Cisco IOS comes with WS-C3560C-8PC-S as its fixed software feature set, and the compact switch cannot be upgraded to a higher tier. IP Base includes routed access with OSPF. Hardware selection must therefore account for the required features rather than depend on a subsequent software-tier upgrade.
WS-C3560C-8PC-S replaces WS-C3560-8PC-S, which reached end of sale on July 29, 2013. The older switch had eight 10/100 PoE access ports and one copper-or-SFP uplink. WS-C3560C-8PC-S introduced two dual-purpose uplinks and PoE+, but this replacement model has also passed its Cisco support deadline.
WS-C3560C-8PC-S provides a shared 124W PoE budget across eight powered access ports, with 30W maximum output per PoE+ port. Eight simultaneous 30W allocations would require 240W, exceeding the available budget. Specify each endpoint's required allocation and check the aggregate before committing the powered-device configuration.
The Catalyst 3560-C eight-port Fast Ethernet PoE+ switch has two fixed dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks, each offering an RJ-45 connector or an SFP cage. Copper and fiber connections within one pair share the same uplink. The two pairs do not provide four independent upstream connections.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-C compact switch supports 19-inch rack installation using RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= mounting brackets. The chassis remains a desktop-width unit rather than a full-width rack switch. Specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= when the purchase requires installation in an existing 19-inch rack, and confirm bracket inclusion on the order.
Yes, WS-C3560C-8PC-S supports Layer 3 routed access with OSPF through its supplied IP Base software. This is not an unmanaged or Layer 2-only configuration. The software feature set cannot be upgraded, so routing requirements should be checked against IP Base before selecting the hardware.
No, the Fast Ethernet Catalyst 3560-C configurations do not support MACsec, including WS-C3560C-8PC-S. MACsec support on certain Gigabit members does not extend to this model. A requirement for Ethernet link encryption at the endpoint must therefore be addressed with different hardware rather than a software-tier upgrade.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-C supports LACP and PAgP for Ethernet channel formation with compatible equipment. LACP provides standards-based negotiation, while PAgP supports Cisco EtherChannel negotiation. Specify the protocol supported by the upstream device and confirm the intended channel configuration before including the switch in the purchase order.
WS-C3560C-8PC-S supplies PoE+ to connected endpoints, whereas WS-C3560CG-8TC-S provides no PoE output. Both models are discontinued and beyond Cisco support. The powered model addresses endpoints requiring switch-supplied power; the non-PoE model addresses independently powered devices where matching a discontinued configuration is the purchase requirement.
WS-C3560C-8PC-S uses an internal AC power supply, whereas WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S can receive power through its PoE-capable uplinks or an external adapter. Both are discontinued. The internal-AC model requires a local AC outlet; the powered-device model addresses installations planned around upstream power delivery and its associated endpoint-power limits.
C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A provides a 240W PoE+ budget, compared with 124W on WS-C3560C-8PC-S. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A is the current successor after the discontinued intermediate replacement. The older model addresses exact-configuration sparing, while the current successor addresses refresh purchases requiring a larger aggregate allocation for powered endpoints.
