WS-C3560CX-12PD-S Overview

WS-C3560CX-12PD-S is a managed Layer 3 compact switch built for PoE access in confined network locations where quiet operation and 10G uplink headroom matter. It provides twelve 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, fixed uplinks made up of two 10G SFP+ ports and two 1G copper ports, and PoE+ power delivery across the access edge. The fixed uplink design lets all four uplink ports operate at the same time, including use as downlinks when the topology requires local expansion. The fanless desktop chassis also supports rack, DIN rail, wall, under-desk, and magnetic mounting through the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX series accessory set. WS-C3560CX-12PC-S is the closest twelve-port PoE+ sibling; it keeps the same 240W PoE budget but uses two 1G SFP uplinks instead of the two 10G SFP+ uplinks on this model.

68 Gbps switching capacity gives the platform enough full-duplex bandwidth for the fixed Gigabit access ports and fiber uplink pairs. 50.6 Mpps forwarding rate supports line-rate packet movement for compact access deployments carrying voice, video, wireless, and workstation traffic. 240W PoE budget is allocated across the twelve PoE+ access ports, with a 30W per-port PoE+ maximum and a 290W system power rating. IP Base software provides routed access, Cisco TrustSec, MACsec, and baseline enterprise services beyond LAN Base switching. IP Services RTU adds OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, PBR, Multicast Routing, and VRF Lite when the design needs full Layer 3 routing. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S carries 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash for the Cisco IOS Software image, management services, and local configuration storage. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3, RMON, and LACP support fit established campus monitoring and link-aggregation operations. The internal autoranging AC supply accepts 100-240V AC input for standard enterprise power feeds without external adapters.

At the enterprise access tier, the switch serves local phones, access points, cameras, workstations, and video endpoints from a quiet compact platform that occupies 1U when mounted with rack brackets. Horizontal stacking uses the 10G uplinks as stack ports, and the stack design supports a maximum of eight members for distributed compact access blocks across floors, rooms, or small network zones. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S is available from ORM Systems in new and certified refurbished condition, and certified refurbished units receive switch-class checks covering boot, Cisco IOS load, PoE delivery, RJ-45 interfaces, SFP+ uplink recognition, and chassis condition. For sites standardizing compact Catalyst access, ORM Systems supports matching accessory requirements such as rack brackets, DIN rail mounts, power cords, and optics. Submit a quote request for single-unit replacement, project rollout, spare-stock purchasing, or regional rollout. Enterprise and volume buyers receive pricing support for matched batches, warranty planning, and delivery requirements.

WS-C3560CX-12PD-S price is $1,294.00, a 62.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,454.00. WS-C3560CX-12PD-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

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.
