WS-C3560CX-8PC-S Use Case
Compact Access Edge Handoff
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S sits at the access edge where eight 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports terminate phones, access points, cameras, workstations, or other local endpoints in small zones. The compact fanless chassis mounts near users, under a desk, on a wall, on DIN rail, or in a rack, then returns traffic through 1G copper or 1G SFP uplinks. Engineers apply VLANs, QoS, and port security on Cisco IOS IP Base. The site gains powered endpoint switching without extending every cable back to the closet.
Access-to-Distribution Fiber Handoff
In an access-to-distribution role, WS-C3560CX-8PC-S aggregates eight Gigabit PoE+ edge connections and forwards northbound traffic over two 1G SFP uplinks when fiber is the preferred handoff. The two 1G copper uplinks remain available for local copper paths, and Cisco notes that all four uplinks operate simultaneously. Network teams map endpoint VLANs to trunks or routed links under the IP Base image. The design separates compact room switching from distribution fiber capacity and keeps the upstream handoff predictable for daily operations.
Routed Access Boundary
The switch operates as a small routed access boundary for spaces that need local Layer 3 services rather than an unmanaged PoE handoff. WS-C3560CX-8PC-S ships with Cisco IOS IP Base, supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, and accepts an IP Services RTU upgrade when fuller routing is required. Engineers place SVIs, ACLs, routing adjacencies, and QoS near the powered endpoints while preserving a compact 1 RU footprint. The network gains a controlled local boundary for segmentation and uplink traffic policy.
Best For
Workspace PoE Drops
Open-office, kiosk or classroom expansions may need powered ports away from the closet without fan noise. The platform supplies 8 PoE+ ports with a 240W budget and four simultaneous 1G uplinks, so specify fiber optics for SFP runs and confirm whether copper uplinks are reserved for local devices before the PO.
Legacy Compact Refresh
Sites still carrying WS-C3560C-8PC-S or WS-C3560CG-8PC-S can standardize spares on the newer 3560-CX footprint. Those older PIDs ended sale October 30, 2016; match power, mounting accessories and IP Base feature expectations before replacing multiple room switches in one order.
Staging Stock
Distributed sites with many small switches often need identical spares and mounting kits ready for local replacement. For volume staging, include CMPCT-DIN-MNT=, CMPCT-MGNT-TRAY= or RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= where needed, then align tested refurbished units with the same firmware and reset state before shipment.
Not Suitable If
10G uplink handoffs
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S has fixed 1G uplinks only: 2 x 1G SFP and 2 x 1G copper. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A is the named replacement with 2x10G and 2x1G uplinks.
More than eight PoE ports
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S has 8 PoE+ output ports. C9200CX-12P-2X2G-A is the named compact replacement for 12-port PoE+ 3560-CX models when more powered ports are required.
Single-control-plane stacking
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S has no hardware stacking kit, cable PID or member scale. Use a platform with published stacking specifications when one control plane is required.
IP Services preinstalled
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S ships with IP Base. Use L-C3560CX-RTU= or C3560CX-RTU= when OSPF, BGP, PBR, Multicast Routing or VRF Lite is required.

Does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S require a license subscription?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S ships with IP Base and does not require a Cisco DNA subscription for base switching. IP Services requires L-C3560CX-RTU= or C3560CX-RTU=. Cisco DNA Essentials, Advantage and Premier add-on subscriptions are separate term licenses, with three-, five- or seven-year periods available.
Which older switches does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S replace?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S replaced WS-C3560C-8PC-S and WS-C3560CG-8PC-S in the Catalyst 3560-C lifecycle. Both older PIDs were 8-port PoE compact switches with dual uplinks and IP Base. Their end-of-sale date was October 30, 2016, so refresh orders should not use the older PIDs.
How much PoE power does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S provide?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S provides 8 PoE+ output ports and a 240W PoE budget. PoE+ allows 30W maximum per port, so the 240W budget matches eight ports at maximum allocation. Maximum measured consumption with 100% throughput and maximum possible PoE loads is 269.1W.
What uplinks does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S have?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S has four fixed 1G uplinks: 2 x 1G SFP and 2 x 1G copper. All four uplink ports can be used simultaneously and can also operate as downlinks, so optics for the SFP bays should be specified separately when fiber is needed.
Can WS-C3560CX-8PC-S be stacked?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S is not a hardware-stacking switch. The compact chassis has fixed access and uplink ports, with no hardware stack kit, stacking cable PID or maximum-member table for this family. Use uplink redundancy, EtherChannel, or a different access platform when a single managed stack is required.
What is the difference between WS-C3560CX-8PC-S and WS-C3560CX-8TC-S?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S adds 8 PoE+ output ports and a 240W PoE budget, while WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is an 8-port data model with no PoE budget. Both use IP Base and the same 2 x 1G SFP plus 2 x 1G copper uplink layout, so the powered-endpoint requirement separates them.
What is the difference between WS-C3560CX-8PC-S and WS-C3560CX-8PT-S?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S uses an internal AC power supply and provides 240W of PoE budget, while WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is a PD PSE model powered through 1G copper Cisco UPOE input uplinks and provides up to 146W. Choose WS-C3560CX-8PC-S for higher local PoE budget; choose WS-C3560CX-8PT-S where upstream powering is required.
What is the difference between WS-C3560CX-8PC-S and C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S has four 1G uplinks and IP Base, while C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A is the named replacement with 8-port PoE+, 240W, 2x10G and 2x1G uplinks, and Network Advantage. WS-C3560CX-8PC-S suits like-for-like spares; C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A suits refresh projects needing 10G uplinks.
Can the Catalyst 3560-CX 8-port PoE+ switch be rack mounted?
The Catalyst 3560-CX 8-port PoE+ switch is a desktop compact chassis, not a native 19-inch rack-width switch. Alternate mounting accessories include CMPCT-DIN-MNT= for DIN rail, CMPCT-MGNT-TRAY= for magnet and tray mounting, RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= for 19-inch racks, and RCKMNT-23-CMPCT= for 23- and 24-inch racks.
Which routing protocols does Catalyst 3560-CX IP Base support?
Catalyst 3560-CX IP Base supports static routing, RIP, and EIGRP Stub routing on the 3560-CX platform. Full IP Services features add OSPF, BGP, full EIGRP, PBR, Multicast Routing and VRF Lite after the RTU upgrade. Size route tables against the 5000 IPv4 route scale.
