WS-C3560CX-12TC-S is a fanless, managed Layer 3 desktop switch with twelve Gigabit Ethernet access ports and fixed uplinks comprising two Gigabit copper ports and two 1G SFP ports. The access interfaces provide data connectivity without PoE output, so connected endpoints need their own power source. Its Catalyst 3560-CX chassis supports enterprise access outside the wiring closet, including workspaces where a full-width switch would occupy unnecessary space. IP Base is the standard network software tier. The discontinued WS-C3560CX-12PC-S sibling adds PoE+ for powered endpoints. Within the Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches range, this configuration combines copper endpoint connectivity with separate copper and fiber uplinks; all four uplink interfaces can operate simultaneously rather than sharing combo-port connections.
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S price for new stock is $976.50, a 62.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,632.00. WS-C3560CX-12TC-S refurb price is $266.72. WS-C3560CX-12TC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

32 Gbps switching capacity accommodates traffic across the access and uplink interfaces. 23.8 Mpps forwarding performance with 64-byte packets identifies the small-packet forwarding capability independently of bandwidth. Static routing supports explicitly defined next hops, while OSPF for routed access permits one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance sharing a maximum of 1000 dynamically learned routes. Full BGP routing requires IP Services rather than the standard software entitlement. WS-C3560CX-12TC-S carries 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash for Cisco IOS operation and image storage. Support for 1023 VLANs allows logical segmentation, while 9198-byte jumbo frames accommodate larger Ethernet frames when the surrounding network is configured accordingly. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 provide monitoring integration. MACsec supplies link-layer security capability. 20.8W measured consumption at full throughput provides a switch-only electrical load figure for site power planning.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560CX-12TC-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including rated-speed port links and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty applies to the original owner under its terms, with Cisco support ending April 30, 2029. Specify condition, quantity and accessories on the PO; enterprise and volume orders support government Net-30 and RMA with advance replacement across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When a branch rollout places switching under desks or on walls rather than in a full-width rack, installation hardware becomes a separate line item. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= supports 19-inch rack installation, while CMPCT-DIN-MNT= provides DIN rail mounting. Specify the intended mounting accessory on each site PO.
When a lab needs several engineers to validate a common configuration before shipment, remote-access concurrency matters. The CLI supports five simultaneous SSH sessions or sixteen simultaneous Telnet sessions. Establish the management connection and credentials during staging, and specify the required access method before the equipment PO.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S supplies no endpoint power. C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A provides twelve PoE+ access ports with a shared 240W budget and replaces the discontinued powered sibling.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S limits fixed uplinks to 1G. Its current replacement, C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A, retains twelve data access ports while providing two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks.

WS-C3560CX-12TC-S identifies a Catalyst 3560-CX switch with twelve Gigabit data access ports, two 1G SFP uplinks, two Gigabit copper uplinks and IP Base software. WS-C3560CX identifies the switch family, 12 identifies access-port density, TC identifies this data-port and uplink configuration, and S identifies the IP Base version.
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S supports CLI management through a local console, SSH, Telnet or browser access, plus Device Manager, Cisco Network Assistant and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support monitoring integration. Remote CLI access requires network connectivity and configured credentials; a local console connection provides the initial setup path.
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S reached Cisco end of sale on April 30, 2024, with the last date of support scheduled for April 30, 2029. Software maintenance releases ended April 30, 2025. Security support continues to the final support milestone under applicable coverage, and C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A is the replacement.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560CX-12TC-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty covers the original owner under its terms, with Cisco support ending April 30, 2029.
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S has perpetual IP Base software, an IP Services RTU upgrade path, and separate Cisco DNA Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions with a three-year minimum. L-C3560CX-RTU= supplies the electronic upgrade and C3560CX-RTU= the paper upgrade. Subscription terms are separate from the perpetual network feature entitlement.
No, WS-C3560CX-12TC-S provides data connectivity without PoE output and cannot power connected phones, access points or cameras through its access ports. Endpoints therefore need an independent power source. The internal AC supply powers the switch itself; the uplinks do not provide a PoE-powered input method for this model.
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S has two fixed 1G SFP uplinks and two fixed Gigabit copper uplinks, and all four can operate simultaneously. These are independent interfaces rather than shared combo ports. The fiber connections require compatible SFP transceivers; this configuration has neither 10G SFP+ uplinks nor a removable uplink-card bay.
Yes, Catalyst 3560-CX IP Base switches support OSPF for routed access, limited to one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance with 1000 dynamically learned routes combined. That limit is shared between the two instances, not a separate allowance for each. Full advanced routing features require IP Services entitlement.
RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides 19-inch rack-mount brackets for WS-C3560CX-12TC-S, while RCKMNT-23-CMPCT= supports 23-inch and 24-inch racks. The 269 mm-wide chassis remains a desktop-format switch rather than a full-width rack chassis. Specify the bracket PID matching the installation rack instead of treating mounting hardware as part of the switch identity.
WS-C3560CX-12PC-S supplies PoE+ on twelve access ports with a shared 240W budget, whereas WS-C3560CX-12TC-S supplies no endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. The data-only version fits independently powered endpoints; the powered version fits legacy PoE deployments, with C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A serving as its current replacement for new procurement.
WS-C3560CX-12TC-S has twelve Gigabit access ports, while WS-C3560CX-8TC-S has eight, a difference of four endpoint connections. Both reached end of sale on April 30, 2024. The twelve-port version suits denser existing installations; the eight-port version suits matching a smaller installed configuration or retaining a like-for-like legacy spare.
C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A provides two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C3560CX-12TC-S provides two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A is the current replacement for the discontinued model. Buyers needing faster fiber uplinks should specify the replacement; buyers maintaining an existing 1G installation can retain the older configuration.
