WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is a fanless, managed Layer 3 desktop switch with eight 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and fixed uplinks comprising two 1G copper ports and two 1G SFP ports. The Catalyst 3560-CX ships with IP Base for enterprise access connections near PCs and video endpoints, outside the wiring closet. Non-PoE operation requires separately powered endpoints rather than power delivery through the access cables. Discontinued WS-C3560CX-8PC-S provides PoE+ in the eight-port configuration. For this eight-port Gigabit data switch, specify endpoint connections and upstream media before ordering: the access configuration and uplink hardware are fixed rather than selected through removable network cards.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S price for new stock is $1,005.90, a 51.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,088.00. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S refurb price is $194.25. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

32 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity establishes the forwarding fabric's aggregate bandwidth. 17.9 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packets specifies packet-processing performance for small-packet traffic. 1000 dynamically learned routes limit OSPF for routed access across one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance; multiple instances without those route restrictions require IP Services. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S has 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash for runtime operation and local image storage. VLAN support reaches 1023 active VLANs with 4000 VLAN IDs, so configuration planning must distinguish active segmentation from the available identifier space. LACP supports Ethernet channeling, while RSPAN exposes remote traffic for monitoring. MACsec protects host-facing Ethernet traffic, and DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard address spoofing risks. SSH and SNMPv3 provide encrypted administrative access and monitoring. Full routing features such as BGP and VRF Lite belong to IP Services rather than the included feature tier.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and PSU status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM warranties cover new units for up to three years extended and certified refurbished units for up to one year; both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply, while Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is bounded by April 30, 2029. Specify condition, mounting accessories, and quantities on the purchase order for this switch. ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and supports enterprise and volume orders with RMA with advance replacement.

In a mid-sized retail environment, IT managers deploy the WS-C3560CX-8TC-S to connect point-of-sale terminals, digital signage and inventory scanners at the store edge. The compact form factor and IP Base feature set deliver enterprise-grade performance in a self-contained switch. Benefits: • 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE support power devices directly, reducing cabling and power costs by up to 20%. • Advanced QoS and VLAN segmentation ensure transaction security and PCI DSS compliance. • Uninterrupted operations with 99.999% uptime and Cisco IOS reliability.
Manufacturing facilities use the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 8 Port Data IP Base (WS-C3560CX-8TC-S) to aggregate and power real-time IoT sensors, cameras and PLCs across the production line. Its ruggedized design and fanless operation suit harsh environments. Benefits: • Integrated PoE+ and Gigabit uplinks streamline deployment of up to 8 devices without external power supplies. • Layer 3 IP Base routing accelerates local data processing for real-time analytics, boosting operational efficiency by 30%. • Secure segmentation via ACLs and stackable firmware simplify network management and reduce configuration time by 40%.
Small branch offices leverage the WS-C3560CX-8TC-S – Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 8 Port Data IP Base – to establish secure, high-performance connectivity for remote users and VoIP phones. Its PoE capabilities and embedded security features negate the need for multiple devices. Benefits: • Consolidated switching and routing in a single device lowers hardware expenses by 25%. • Built-in 802.1X authentication and MACsec encryption protect sensitive data over local connections. • Simplified zero-touch provisioning with Cisco DNA Center integration reduces deployment time from days to hours.
When a branch rollout places network hardware on an equipment rail rather than a desk, the mounting accessory belongs on the purchase order with the chassis. CMPCT-DIN-MNT= provides the DIN rail attachment for this compact family. Confirm the installation location and specify that accessory before submitting the order.
When several sites share an endpoint authentication policy, standardizing configuration matters as much as standardizing the chassis. The Catalyst 3560-CX supports 802.1X, MAC Authentication Bypass, and web authentication through a consistent configuration approach. Specify the required authentication method and site configuration requirements before the hardware purchase order is finalized.
When a staging lab needs to reproduce larger-frame traffic before deployment, the switch supports 9198-byte jumbo frames. Coordinate frame size with the connected equipment rather than treating it as an automatic network-wide setting. Specify the intended frame-size configuration and include interoperability checks in the staging plan before issuing the PO.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S supplies no endpoint power. C9200CX-8P-2X2G-A is the current eight-port PoE+ alternative with a 240W budget for deployments requiring powered Ethernet connections.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S has fixed 1G copper and SFP uplinks, with no removable uplink card. Its upstream connections cannot be upgraded to 10G through a network module.
Switch power supplied through Ethernet
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S cannot receive operating power through its uplinks. Its internal AC supply requires a local electrical connection, so an upstream PoE feed cannot power the chassis.

WS-C3560CX-8TC-S identifies a Catalyst 3560-CX eight-port Gigabit data switch with IP Base. The WS-C3560CX portion identifies the family; 8 identifies the access-port count; TC describes this data configuration with two 1G copper and two 1G SFP uplinks; the S variant ships with IP Base rather than IP Services.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S supports the Cisco IOS CLI over SSH or Telnet, browser-based Device Manager, Cisco Network Assistant, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Cisco DNA Center automation and assurance require Cisco DNA Advantage for extended-node operation. Cisco Active Advisor provides cloud-based inventory lifecycle information rather than replacing the configuration interfaces.
Yes, WS-C3560CX-8TC-S reached end of sale on April 30, 2024, and its last date of Cisco support is April 30, 2029. Software maintenance releases ended April 30, 2025. C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A is the replacement; purchasing remaining inventory does not restart those Cisco lifecycle dates.
New sealed and certified refurbished WS-C3560CX-8TC-S units have separate ORM warranties: new hardware has up to a three-year extended warranty; certified refurbished hardware has up to one year. Both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is bounded by the April 30, 2029 support cutoff.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S ships with IP Base; L-C3560CX-RTU= or C3560CX-RTU= enables IP Services. Optional Cisco DNA Essentials and Advantage subscriptions offer three-year terms; Cisco DNA Premier is discontinued. Cisco DNAC1 Essential, Advantage, and Premier are separate subscription package names. SD-Access extended-node automation requires Cisco DNA Advantage rather than the routing upgrade alone.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S replaces discontinued WS-C3560CG-8TC-S, whose end-of-sale date was October 30, 2016. The older part is the eight-port Gigabit IP Base compact model in that migration. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is also discontinued, with C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A continuing the compact data-switch replacement chain for buyers moving beyond the older hardware.
The eight-port Catalyst 3560-CX data switch has two fixed 1G copper uplinks and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. All four can operate simultaneously and can also serve as downlinks. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S has no removable uplink card, and its built-in upstream connections do not provide 10G connectivity.
No, the eight-port Catalyst 3560-CX data switch requires its internal AC supply and cannot receive operating power through its uplinks. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S accepts 100–240V AC, has a 30W power rating, and consumes 18.8W at 100% throughput. Specify local AC power rather than an upstream PoE feed.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S supports OSPF for routed access under IP Base, with one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance sharing a limit of 1000 dynamically learned routes. Multiple OSPF instances without those route restrictions require IP Services, enabled through L-C3560CX-RTU= or C3560CX-RTU= rather than a hardware replacement.
RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides 19-inch rack mounting brackets for the Catalyst 3560-CX compact switch. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S remains a desktop-form-factor chassis rather than a full-width rack switch. Specify RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= when the installation requires rack attachment, and distinguish that accessory requirement from the chassis condition and quantity on the purchase order.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S provides no endpoint power, whereas WS-C3560CX-8PC-S supplies PoE+ with a 240W budget. Both are discontinued compact models. The data-only configuration matches independently powered endpoints; the PoE+ configuration matches an existing installation that supplies endpoint power through Ethernet, subject to its shared power budget.
WS-C3560CX-8TC-S ships with IP Base, while WS-C2960CX-8TC-L ships with LAN Base. Both are discontinued compact data models. The IP Base model matches enterprise routed-access requirements and existing IP Base configurations; the LAN Base model matches installed sites standardizing on that software image rather than the 3560-CX feature set.
C9200CX-12T-2X2G-A is the current replacement for discontinued WS-C3560CX-8TC-S and carries twelve data-only access ports rather than eight. The older model serves like-for-like requirements in an existing 3560-CX installation; the replacement addresses buyers moving to the current compact product who also need additional access-port density.
