WS-C3560CX-8PC-S Overview
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S is a managed Layer 3 Cisco Catalyst compact switch for access deployments that need local PoE+ and Gigabit edge connectivity in a quiet footprint. It provides 8 fixed 10/100/1000 Ethernet access ports, 2 fixed 1G copper uplinks, and 2 fixed 1G SFP uplinks, and all four uplink ports operate simultaneously while also serving as downlinks. The switch delivers PoE+ on all eight access ports from a 240W shared PoE budget and uses Cisco IOS IP Base for managed Catalyst operation. It is not a modular-uplink chassis; the copper and fiber uplinks are built into the unit, and the internal AC power supply avoids an external adapter for this SKU. Its desktop, DIN rail, wall, and rack-mount placement options put the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX Series close to endpoints. WS-C3560CX-12PC-S differs by increasing the downlink count to 12 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports while retaining a 240W PoE budget.
32 Gbps switching bandwidth gives this compact platform full-duplex capacity for 1G access and uplink traffic across small access zones. 17.9 Mpps forwarding rate supports line-rate packet movement for the 3560CX-8PC-S hardware profile, while 16 Gbps forwarding bandwidth aligns with the 1G-uplink models in the series. 240W shared PoE budget powers phones, wireless access points, cameras, and local Ethernet devices across the eight PoE+ access ports. WS-C3560CX-8PC-S carries 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash for Cisco IOS operation, with up to 1023 VLANs, 4000 VLAN IDs, MTU up to 9000 bytes, and 9198-byte jumbo frames. 100-240V AC input and 269.1W measured consumption under maximum possible PoE loads guide power and thermal planning. Per-port indicators report link integrity, activity, speed, disabled state, and duplex during operation. The standards set includes STP/RSTP/MSTP, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, IEEE 802.1x, LLDP, LACP, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and RMON for managed campus integration.
At the access tier, WS-C3560CX-8PC-S connects powered endpoints in rooms, branch areas, micro closets, and other edge positions that do not justify a larger fixed switch. Phones, access points, cameras, printers, workstations, and video endpoints terminate locally, then traffic returns to distribution over copper or fiber uplinks. Stacking stays outside the design; this switch operates as a standalone compact Catalyst platform and occupies 1U when rack mounted with compatible brackets. ORM Systems supplies the SKU new and certified refurbished for installed-base support, access refreshes, and spare stock. Certified refurbished units are tested for IOS boot, PoE output, RJ-45 link, SFP recognition, and power behaviour before dispatch. For enterprise refresh teams, matching the exact IP Base hardware keeps existing configurations, optics, mounting kits, and spare procedures aligned across multiple compact access locations. Request current pricing for single-site requirements, or send a volume bill of materials for coordinated enterprise sourcing and bulk procurement.
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S price is $1,070.00, a 57.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,523.00. WS-C3560CX-8PC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

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.

The WS-C3560CX-8PC-S model number identifies a Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX compact switch. The 8PC portion indicates 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, while the S suffix maps to the IP Base software image used on this 3560-CX model. The SKU is separate from the 12-port and 10G-uplink variants in the same compact family.
What type of hardware is WS-C3560CX-8PC-S?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S is a compact Ethernet access switch, not a router, firewall, access point, or optical module. It provides managed Gigabit switching with PoE+ power delivery for endpoint ports and uplink connectivity through copper and SFP interfaces. The product fits buyers looking for a small Cisco Catalyst switch with IOS management and routed access capabilities.
Where does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S sit in the Cisco Catalyst lineup?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S sits in the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX compact switch line, above Layer 2-only 2960-CX models because it ships with IP Base. It is a small access-layer platform for locations where a full-size Catalyst switch is unnecessary, but Cisco IOS features, PoE+ delivery, and 1G uplinks are still required.
How many ports does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S have?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S has 8 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and four uplink interfaces, made up of 2 1G copper uplinks and 2 1G SFP uplinks. Cisco states that all four uplink ports operate simultaneously and also serve as downlinks, which gives this compact switch flexible copper and fiber handoff options.
What switching capacity and forwarding rate does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S support?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX models with 1G uplinks, which Cisco lists at 16 Gbps forwarding bandwidth and 32 Gbps full-duplex switching bandwidth. Cisco also lists the 3560CX-8PC-S forwarding rate at 17.9 mpps for 64-byte packets, giving buyers a clear performance baseline for compact access switching.
Does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S support PoE+?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S supports PoE+ on all 8 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and provides 240W of available PoE power through its internal power supply. That budget suits mixed endpoint loads such as IP phones, access points, cameras, and local user devices, provided the power plan stays within per-port and total PoE limits.
Is WS-C3560CX-8PC-S a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S is a managed Cisco Catalyst switch that ships with Cisco IOS IP Base. Cisco describes the 3560-CX IP Base image as providing advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 support, including routed access services, with an upgrade path to IP Services through a Right-To-Use license for fuller routing features such as OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, PBR, multicast routing, and VRF Lite.
How is WS-C3560CX-8PC-S managed?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S is managed through Cisco IOS, aligning it with familiar Catalyst operational workflows for VLANs, trunks, QoS, security features, and routed access configuration.

WS-C3560CX-8PC-S fits small access zones, remote rooms, branch areas, micro closets, and space-constrained network positions that need 8 PoE+ ports rather than a full 24-port or 48-port switch. Its compact 1.75 x 10.6 x 9.4 inch chassis and 5.0 lb weight make it practical for wall, desk, DIN rail, or rack placement.
What workloads or endpoint scenarios suit WS-C3560CX-8PC-S?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S suits endpoint scenarios that combine data and power on the same access switch. The 8 PoE+ ports support powered devices, while the 1G SFP uplinks support fiber handoff where the compact switch sits away from the main wiring closet. The IP Base image supports policy and routed access needs at the local edge.
Does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S work for quiet or open-area deployments?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S works well in quiet or open-area deployments because the Catalyst 3560-CX compact family uses a fanless design with silent operation. The switch is intended for places where space is limited and noise tolerance is low, while still providing managed Catalyst access, PoE+ endpoint power, and fiber or copper uplink choices.
Which Cisco switching platforms integrate with WS-C3560CX-8PC-S?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S integrates into Cisco Catalyst campus networks and uses Cisco IOS operating practices familiar from Catalyst access and distribution platforms. It uplinks to distribution or access switches through 1G copper or 1G SFP interfaces, and Cisco references compact-switch connectivity to traditional access switches such as Catalyst 3850 and Catalyst 4500 models in related deployment contexts.
Which transceivers and cabling standards are relevant for WS-C3560CX-8PC-S?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S uses RJ-45 Ethernet ports for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T copper cabling, plus SFP interfaces for 1G fiber uplinks. Cisco directs buyers to its transceiver compatibility matrix for exact supported SFP modules, so optics should be selected by platform compatibility, fiber type, connector, distance, and the upstream switch interface.
Which protocols and network standards does WS-C3560CX-8PC-S support?
WS-C3560CX-8PC-S supports common Catalyst access-layer functions such as VLAN segmentation, trunking, QoS, security controls, and routed access under Cisco IOS IP Base.
