Fanless Powered Access for Space-Constrained Enterprise Edges
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S brings fanless Layer 3 access switching to a compact desktop chassis, with 12 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and fixed uplinks comprising two 10G SFP+ interfaces and two 1G copper interfaces. The Catalyst 3560-CX extends enterprise access beyond the wiring closet for IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras and PCs. All four uplinks can operate simultaneously, so copper and fiber connections are not mutually exclusive. IP Base is the included Cisco IOS feature set, rather than an already activated IP Services upgrade. The discontinued WS-C3560CX-12TC-S is the data-only sibling and supplies no endpoint power. The Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches family places managed Ethernet close to users where additional wiring-closet cable runs would be difficult.
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S price for new stock is $1,989.75, a 42.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,454.00. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S refurb price is $577.50. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
68 Gbps switching capacity handles simultaneous bidirectional traffic across the interfaces. 50.6 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet size defines the packet-processing ceiling. 240W of shared PoE output requires combined endpoint demand to remain within the available allowance. OSPF for routed access permits one OSPFv2 and one OSPFv3 instance with a combined limit of 1000 dynamically learned routes under the included license; unrestricted multiple instances require an upgrade. The default resource allocation holds 5000 IPv4 unicast routes, including 4000 directly connected hosts and 1000 indirect routes, keeping hardware capacity distinct from the routing-license allowance. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S uses 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash for system operation and image storage. Host-facing MACsec protects Ethernet data confidentiality and integrity, while LACP supports channel aggregation. SNMPv3 encrypts administrative traffic. A single internal AC supply powers the chassis; redundant internal supplies are not supported.
Ordering
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560CX-12PD-S in new sealed and certified refurbished condition, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; returns are available for 30 days in every condition, with terms applying.

WS-C3560CX-12PD-S Use Case
Compact Access Edge
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S sits at a compact access point and terminates copper runs from phones, cameras, room systems, printers, and access points on 12 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports. Engineers assign VLANs, PoE limits, QoS markings, and authentication policies close to the endpoints, then reserve the 240W PoE budget for devices that need IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at power. The fanless chassis fits local wiring positions where a full closet switch is oversized. The network gains powered access without moving endpoint cabling back to a larger cabinet.
Access to Distribution Handoff
At the access-to-distribution boundary, WS-C3560CX-12PD-S aggregates 12 local Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ endpoints and forwards northbound traffic over 2 10G SFP+ uplinks or 2 1G copper uplinks. Engineers match the SFP+ optics, fiber plant, access trunks, and EtherChannel design to the upstream Catalyst or distribution switch. The IP Base image anchors the switch in standard Cisco IOS operations while IP Services RTU licensing remains available for expanded routing needs. The design removes 1G uplink pressure from dense local PoE endpoint groups.
Small Site Network Edge
The switch operates at a small site network edge where local devices need Cisco Catalyst access policy and a short path to the router or firewall. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S presents 12 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports for endpoint handoff, then uses 10G SFP+ or 1G copper uplinks toward the WAN edge, security appliance, or upstream switch. Operations teams standardize Cisco IOS templates, SNMP monitoring, syslog, AAA, and VLAN trunking across repeated sites. The site gains consistent access controls and uplink capacity in a compact standalone footprint.
Best For
Branch Mounting Hardware
When a branch installation moves switching outside the wiring closet, mounting hardware must match the location rather than the chassis height. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides rack brackets, while CMPCT-DIN-MNT= supports DIN rail placement. Specify the required mounting accessory and installation position on the purchase order before ordering hardware for each location.
Lab Addressing Preparation
A staging purchase that must join an existing configuration needs more than hardware identification. The default management address and gateway are unset, and DHCP can supply initial IP information. Record the intended addressing method, administrator credentials and configuration handoff before ordering units for the staging bench.
Like-for-Like Stack Sparing
An inventory purchase for like-for-like stack repair must preserve the failed member's identity in the running configuration. An identical replacement with the same member number receives the existing interface-specific settings; a different model can receive defaults. Specify the exact hardware type and retained member number before releasing the spare-unit purchase order.
Not Suitable If
Simultaneous maximum PoE+ on every port
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S shares 240W across its powered ports, below the 360W required for twelve simultaneous 30W allocations. Maximum per-port capability is not available across every access port at once.
Multigigabit copper connections to endpoints
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S access ports stop at 1Gbps; 10Gbps connectivity is confined to its SFP+ uplinks. Increasing uplink speed does not raise the copper access-port speed ceiling.
PoE-powered operation without local AC
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S cannot draw operating power from its uplinks and requires its internal AC supply. An upstream PoE feed cannot replace the local electrical connection.
Full routing with the included license
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S ships with IP Base; BGP and full EIGRP require IP Services. Order L-C3560CX-RTU= when those routing functions are required rather than assuming the base entitlement includes them.

Questions & Answers
What does the WS-C3560CX-12PD-S part number mean?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S identifies the Catalyst 3560-CX 12-port Gigabit PoE+ model with two 10G SFP+ and two 1G copper uplinks, running IP Base. WS-C3560CX is the family prefix; 12 indicates the access-port count; P identifies PoE+; D identifies the 10G uplink variant; and S identifies the IP Base tier.
How is WS-C3560CX-12PD-S managed?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S supports console CLI, remote CLI over SSH or Telnet, SNMP, Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Cisco DNA Center adds licensed automation and assurance, while Cisco Active Advisor supplies inventory lifecycle visibility. Assign a management IP address and credentials before enabling remote administration.
What is the lifecycle status of WS-C3560CX-12PD-S?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was April 30, 2024, and the last date of support is April 30, 2029. Software maintenance ended April 30, 2025. C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A is the current replacement for buyers planning a hardware refresh rather than a like-for-like spare.
Which licenses are available for the Catalyst 3560-CX?
The Catalyst 3560-CX offers perpetual IP Base, an IP Services RTU upgrade, and optional Cisco DNA Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions plus DNAC1 Essential, Advantage or Premier packages with a three-year minimum. L-C3560CX-RTU= provides IP Services. Smart Accounts track subscription expiration; standard IP Base operation on an ORM order does not require a subscription.
How much PoE power does WS-C3560CX-12PD-S supply?
240W is the shared PoE+ budget on WS-C3560CX-12PD-S, with up to 30W available on an individual powered port. Twelve ports at 30W would require 360W, so simultaneous maximum PoE+ output on every port exceeds the budget. Size the combined endpoint demand before choosing the powered-device mix.
What uplinks does WS-C3560CX-12PD-S have?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and two fixed 1G copper uplinks, and all four can operate simultaneously. The fiber interfaces are built into the chassis rather than supplied by a removable network card. Choose compatible optics for the intended link, and confirm which uplinks remain available if horizontal stacking is configured.
Can WS-C3560CX-12PD-S be stacked?
Yes, WS-C3560CX-12PD-S supports horizontal stacking with eight members, using its 10G SFP+ uplinks as configurable stack links. Converted interfaces no longer serve as network uplinks, and changing their role takes effect after a reload. Match the members' software and license levels before adding hardware to an existing stack.
Does the Catalyst 3560-CX support OSPF with IP Base?
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-CX supports OSPF for routed access under IP Base, with one OSPFv2 and one OSPFv3 instance sharing a limit of 1000 dynamically learned routes. That license allowance differs from the 5000-route hardware total. IP Services is required for multiple instances without the routed-access restriction.
Which mounting hardware fits the Catalyst 3560-CX?
The Catalyst 3560-CX accepts RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= for 19-inch rack mounting and CMPCT-DIN-MNT= for DIN rail mounting. Its 269 mm-wide chassis remains a compact desktop form factor rather than a full-width rack switch. Select the mounting kit for the installation location and include its accessory PID on the purchase order.
What condition and warranty does ORM Systems offer for WS-C3560CX-12PD-S?
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560CX-12PD-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. All conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers the original owner, with Cisco service ending April 30, 2029.
What is the difference between WS-C3560CX-12PD-S and WS-C3560CX-12TC-S?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S provides PoE+ endpoint power, while WS-C3560CX-12TC-S is a data-only switch with no PoE output. Both models are discontinued. The powered model suits replacement purchases for Ethernet-powered endpoints; the data-only model suits like-for-like replacement where devices already have their own separate power connections.
What is the difference between WS-C3560CX-12PD-S and WS-C3560CX-8PT-S?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S uses an internal AC supply, while WS-C3560CX-8PT-S can operate from powered uplinks, with auxiliary power as another input option. Both models are discontinued. The AC-powered model suits like-for-like installations with a local outlet; the pass-through model addresses replacement requirements where operating switch power arrives over Ethernet.
What is the difference between WS-C3560CX-12PD-S and C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S is the discontinued model, while C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A is its current replacement for new hardware refreshes. Cisco ended sales of the older model on April 30, 2024. The older part suits like-for-like sparing of existing installations; the replacement suits buyers moving away from that discontinued hardware line.
What operating temperature does WS-C3560CX-12PD-S support?
WS-C3560CX-12PD-S operates from -5°C to 40°C, and a cold start requires an ambient temperature of at least 0°C. The 10G uplink configuration has a lower upper temperature limit than the Gigabit-uplink variants. Check the actual enclosure or mounting-location temperature before specifying units for enclosed spaces.
