WS-C3560CG-8TC-S Use Case

Branch Office PoE Network for IP Phones & Wireless APs

In a 50-seat branch office, IT deploys the WS-C3560CG-8TC-S Catalyst 3560C Switch 8 GE, 2 x Dual Uplink, IP Base to power VoIP phones and 802.11ac access points over eight PoE ports. With built-in Cisco IOS QoS and security features, the switch ensures voice traffic gets priority, simplifies rack footprint, and eliminates separate power injectors. Outcome: streamlined deployment, lower OPEX, and crystal-clear voice & Wi-Fi connectivity in a compact, energy-efficient form factor.

Retail Video Surveillance & POS Network Convergence

A mid-size retail chain integrates IP cameras and point-of-sale terminals using the WS-C3560CG-8TC-S Catalyst 3560C Switch. Dual Gigabit uplinks connect to the data center, while eight GE PoE ports power HD cameras and cash registers. Cisco’s IP Base feature set provides VLAN segmentation, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, and broadcast storm protection. Benefit: unified infrastructure reduces cabling, enhances network visibility, and delivers secure, high-availability surveillance and transaction traffic.

Industrial Edge Connectivity for Manufacturing Automation

In a manufacturing plant, engineers install the WS-C3560CG-8TC-S Catalyst 3560C Switch on the factory floor to connect PLCs, sensors, and PC workstations. The device’s robust IOS IP Base security modules, advanced QoS, and dual uplinks to the control center guarantee deterministic performance and zero packet loss. Outcome: increased production uptime, real-time data capture for predictive maintenance, and simplified network segmentation for OT/IT convergence.
