WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is a fanless desktop Layer 3 access switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks and two fixed Gigabit copper uplinks. The uplinks receive power from an upstream source, allowing the compact unit to operate as both a powered device and power sourcing equipment. PWR-ADPT= provides an auxiliary AC-DC powering option, while PWR-ADPT-DC= supports auxiliary DC-DC power. The Catalyst 3560-CX Series serves enterprise access locations beyond the wiring closet, connecting IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, PCs, and video endpoints. IP Base is the supplied software tier rather than an IP Services bundle. The discontinued WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is the corresponding eight-port non-PoE sibling. This PoE pass-through configuration uses copper upstream connections; fiber optics and removable uplink cards are not part of its hardware configuration.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S price for new stock is $808.50, a 60.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,039.00. WS-C3560CX-8PT-S refurb price is $299.25. WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

32 Gbps switching capacity defines the full-duplex switching ceiling, while 14.9 Mpps forwarding supports traffic measured with 64-byte packets. 146W of shared PoE output requires two Cisco UPOE inputs together with auxiliary power; powering arrangements with fewer inputs provide smaller endpoint budgets. OSPF for routed access supports one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance sharing 200 dynamically learned routes under IP Base. Static routing is also available, but unrestricted multiple OSPF instances require IP Services. WS-C3560CX-8PT-S carries 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash for local Cisco IOS operation and image storage. The forwarding resources accommodate 16000 MAC entries and 5000 total IPv4 routes, keeping hardware scale separate from the OSPF license limit. Eight egress queues per port support traffic scheduling through Shaped Round Robin and Weighted Tail Drop congestion avoidance. 180W measured consumption at maximum PoE load belongs in input-power planning rather than the substantially lower switch-only consumption figure.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with refurbished units inspected and bench-tested. Refurbishment verifies PoE output under load on every powered port, checks startup through the PoE input, verifies firmware, and wipes configuration to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is bounded by the April 30, 2031 support cutoff. Submit the PO with condition, quantities, and accessory PIDs specified; PO accepted, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA support enterprise and volume orders.

In a distributed enterprise, IT teams deploy the WS-C3560CX-8PT-S (Catalyst 3560-CX 8-Port PoE, 1G Uplinks, IP Base) to power IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras over a single copper run. This compact switch delivers up to 30W per port, reducing cabling complexity and installation costs. With dual 1G uplinks and Cisco IOS IP Base features, branch locations gain secure WAN connectivity, QoS prioritization for voice/video traffic, and seamless remote management—resulting in a 40% faster rollout and 25% reduction in operational expenses.
Retailers integrate the Catalyst 3560-CX 8-Port PoE switch into store network closets to support digital signage, shelf sensors, and mobile POS terminals. Eight PoE+ ports power cameras and Bluetooth beacons while two Gigabit uplinks carry high-resolution video streams to the edge server. The switch’s Layer 3 routing and Cisco TrustSec secure segmentation isolate IoT traffic, improving network performance by 50% and boosting in-store customer engagement metrics by 30%.
Manufacturing plants use the WS-C3560CX-8PT-S to connect and power robotic controllers, environmental sensors, and safety interlocks on the shop floor. Its rugged form factor withstands factory conditions, while PoE+ simplifies power distribution. The Catalyst 3560-CX’s enhanced STP and bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) deliver sub-second failover, driving 99.99% network uptime and reducing unplanned production stoppages by up to 60%.
When replacing a discontinued WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S in an installed compact-switch estate, separate hardware continuity from an entirely new standard. Confirm the upstream powering arrangement, saved configuration, mounting hardware, and endpoint inventory before committing to a replacement quantity. Specify the exact replacement PID and condition on the PO.
When the switch must start from a single powered uplink without auxiliary power, low-power boot precedes CDP/LLDP negotiation. The forwarding silicon initializes after power negotiation succeeds. Treat the upstream port policy as part of the hardware order, and check startup power negotiation in staging before issuing the PO.
When desktop hardware is being standardized for installation in 19-inch equipment racks, RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides the mounting brackets. Treat the brackets as a separate order line rather than changing the chassis description. Confirm accessory availability, bracket quantities, mounting locations, and each site's powering arrangement before releasing a multi-site PO.
10G or fiber uplinks
Two fixed 1G copper uplinks provide no optical connection or 10G uplink capability. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A retains eight PoE+ access ports and adds two 10G uplinks.
Multiple unrestricted OSPF instances
IP Base supports one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance sharing 200 dynamically learned routes. Unrestricted multiple instances require an existing IP Services entitlement rather than the supplied license.

WS-C3560CX-8PT-S identifies the Catalyst 3560-CX PD/PSE configuration: WS-C3560CX names the family, 8 denotes eight Gigabit access ports, PT identifies PoE pass-through with powered copper uplinks, and S denotes IP Base. The complete configuration supplies PoE+ on the downlinks and uses two 1G copper uplinks.
The Catalyst 3560-CX compact switch supports Device Manager's web UI, Cisco IOS CLI through console, SSH or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Cisco DNA Center capabilities add a subscription dependency. Cisco Active Advisor provides cloud-based lifecycle inventory, while Smart Install and Auto Smartports support provisioning automation.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is discontinued: Cisco sales ended April 30, 2026, and support ends April 30, 2031. Software maintenance ends April 30, 2027. C9200CX-8PT-2G-E is the migration model. An order for remaining inventory should distinguish reseller availability from Cisco sales and confirm service-contract eligibility.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original owner, with service ending April 30, 2031.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S includes permanent IP Base; IP Services requires a separate RTU entitlement, with upgrade sales ended April 30, 2026. Optional Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions have three-, five-, or seven-year terms. Smart Accounts track subscriptions, whose expiration does not expire the permanent base license.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S replaces WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S, whose Cisco sales ended October 30, 2016 and support ended October 31, 2021. The older PID is discontinued and no longer receives Cisco service. Specify the exact replacement PID rather than assuming legacy mounting and powering accessories belong on the same order.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S provides a shared maximum 146W PoE+ budget with two Cisco UPOE inputs and auxiliary power. Two Cisco UPOE inputs alone provide 68W; auxiliary power alone provides 54W; two PoE+ inputs provide 20W. Individual ports support 30W, but every port cannot draw that maximum simultaneously.
The Catalyst 3560-CX PoE pass-through switch provides two fixed 1G RJ-45 uplinks that also receive powering input, without SFP cages or 10G uplinks. Optical transceivers and removable network uplink cards are not ordering options for this configuration. Specify copper upstream connections and compatible powering rather than adding optics to the PO.
Yes, WS-C3560CX-8PT-S supports OSPF for routed access with IP Base, limited to one OSPFv2 and one OSPFv3 instance sharing 200 dynamically learned routes. Static routing is also available. Multiple unrestricted OSPF instances require IP Services; confirm the installed license and any existing upgrade entitlement before purchasing.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S provides PoE+ endpoint power, while WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is data-only. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3560-CX variants. The 8PT configuration suits legacy replacement requirements involving powered phones, cameras, or access points; the 8TC part number identifies non-PoE installations where the connected endpoints obtain their power separately.
WS-C3560CX-8PT-S receives power through uplinks or an auxiliary adapter, while WS-C3560CX-8PC-S uses internal AC power. The 8PC model is discontinued. The 8PT configuration suits uplink-powered replacement requirements; the 8PC part number identifies legacy internally powered installations. Current migration planning for the 8PC model uses C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A.
C9200CX-8PT-2G-E carries Network Essentials, while WS-C3560CX-8PT-S ships with IP Base. C9200CX-8PT-2G-E is the migration PID for the discontinued 8PT model. Retain the older PID when matching an installed IP Base estate; specify the successor for a new standard and review its licensing as a separate purchase item.
