WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S is a fanless Layer 3 desktop access switch with six Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, two multigigabit PoE+ ports, and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The multigigabit copper interfaces support 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps connections, with cable requirements dependent on speed. The Catalyst 3560-CX brings managed enterprise access outside the wiring closet for wireless access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras, and nearby wired devices. Cisco IOS runs the included IP Base feature set. Unlike the discontinued WS-C3560CX-8TC-S, this configuration supplies endpoint power rather than providing data-only access ports.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S price for new stock is $1,018.50, a 70.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,484.00. WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S refurb price is $786.45. WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

92 Gbps full-duplex switching capacity provides the switching fabric for mixed-speed access traffic. 68.4 Mpps forwarding performance applies to the 64-byte packet profile. 240W of available PoE power accommodates eight ports at the 30W PoE+ maximum. 285.1W measured consumption at full throughput with maximum PoE loading provides an AC power-planning figure that includes powered endpoints. WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S carries 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash for its operating software and configuration. OSPF for routed access supports a combined limit of 1000 dynamically learned IPv4 and IPv6 routes under IP Base, separate from total hardware route scale. RIP, IPv4 static routing, IPv4 EIGRP Stub, PIM Stub, and PBR are also available in that tier. Hardware MACsec protects host-facing Ethernet traffic, while NetFlow Lite exports flow information for monitoring. Full BGP routing requires IP Services rather than the included software tier.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year, plus 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, and PSU status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantities, and required accessories on the PO. For enterprise and volume purchases, POs are accepted, government buyers can use Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement is supported across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a distributed enterprise with multiple small branch offices, the WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S delivers 6 x 1G PoE+ ports and 2 x 10G mGig uplinks to power VoIP phones, IP cameras and wireless APs from a single compact switch. This setup reduces hardware footprint by 40%, simplifies cabling and accelerates deployment. Outcome: streamlined operations, guaranteed voice/video quality via Cisco IP Base QoS, and 99.99% uptime for branch connectivity.
In a high-traffic retail store, the Catalyst 3560-CX powers digital signage, access control and 4K security cameras on its PoE+ ports while aggregating data through dual 10G mGig uplinks. This centralized solution cuts edge device racks by half and ensures bandwidth for real-time analytics and HD video streaming. Outcome: enhanced customer engagement with dynamic displays, improved loss prevention and 24/7 secure operations with Cisco IP Base Layer 2/3 security features.
In a modern smart building deployment, the WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S supports wireless APs, environmental sensors and badge readers on six PoE+ ports, leveraging two mGig uplinks for aggregate spans of over 20 Gbps. Its compact form factor fits in ceiling or closets, enabling turnkey IoT rollouts and centralized management via Cisco DNA Center. Outcome: rapid provisioning of wireless and IoT nodes, reduced energy costs through PoE scheduling and robust network segmentation for data privacy.
When a branch rollout places compact switches in an equipment rack, mounting hardware needs its own line on the PO. RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= provides the optional 19-inch brackets, which are not included with the switch. Keep 76 mm clear around ventilation openings and specify the bracket kit before ordering.
When a lab must validate advanced routing before deployment, the Catalyst 3560-CX supports an IP Services RTU evaluation for 90 days. Evaluation activation does not replace a permanent entitlement for continued use. Set the evaluation end date, identify the required routing features, and include L-C3560CX-RTU= if permanent IP Services is required.
When extending a horizontal stack, inter-switch links consume multigigabit or SFP+ interfaces that could otherwise carry network traffic. WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S can assign two multigigabit ports, two 10G SFP+ ports, or one of each to stacking. Select the endpoint and upstream connections that must remain, then reserve interfaces and matching link media on the PO.
More than two multigigabit endpoint connections
Only two access ports support multigigabit speeds; the other six are Gigabit Ethernet. C9200CX-8UXG-2X-A provides four multigigabit ports while retaining eight access ports overall.
Endpoint power requirements above 30W
PoE+ output is limited to 30W per powered port. C9200CX-8UXG-2X-A adds Cisco UPOE; confirm the endpoint's power requirement against that replacement before ordering.
Full-load inverted operation above 35°C
Inverted installation with maximum PoE loading and 10G SFP+ transceivers installed limits operation to 35°C. Choose another mounting orientation or reduce the installation's ambient temperature.

WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S identifies a Catalyst 3560-CX configuration: WS-C3560CX denotes the switch family, 8XPD identifies six Gigabit PoE+ ports plus two multigigabit PoE+ ports with two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and S identifies IP Base. The complete configuration code distinguishes this mixed-speed model from the family's Gigabit-only configurations.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S supports console, SSH or Telnet CLI access, browser-based Device Manager, Cisco Network Assistant, SNMP, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure management. Cisco DNA Center provides licensed automation and assurance; Instant Access mode permits upstream control. Cisco IOS 15.2(7)E3 and later enable SSH by default and disable Telnet by default.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S provides a 240W PoE budget across eight PoE+ access ports, with a maximum of 30W per port. Both multigigabit interfaces support powered endpoints alongside the six Gigabit interfaces. Eight ports multiplied by 30W equals the available budget, so endpoint sizing must respect both limits.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplink cages rather than a removable uplink card bay. These interfaces are separate from the eight copper access ports. Match the link media to the upstream equipment and account for any uplink interfaces reassigned to horizontal stacking before specifying the connection.
Yes, WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S supports horizontal stacking with eight members using selected multigigabit or 10G SFP+ interfaces. Two multigigabit ports, two SFP+ ports, or one of each can serve as stack links. Changing a port's role requires a reload and removes that interface's previous configuration when the new role takes effect.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S supports IPv4 static routing, RIP, IPv4 EIGRP Stub, PIM Stub, PBR, and OSPF for routed access with IP Base. OSPF permits one OSPFv2 instance and one OSPFv3 instance with 1000 dynamically learned routes combined. IP Services is required for unrestricted OSPF instances and full BGP routing.
The Catalyst 3560-CX uses permanent IP Base licensing and supports an IP Services upgrade through L-C3560CX-RTU= or C3560CX-RTU=. Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage are separate term add-ons with a three-year minimum. Smart Accounts centralize entitlement handling; subscription expiration is separate from the permanent base license.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-CX can be installed in a 19-inch rack with the optional RCKMNT-19-CMPCT= bracket kit, which is not included with the switch. The chassis remains a compact desktop form factor. Allow 76 mm around ventilation openings and add the mounting kit to the purchase order.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S uses an internal AC power supply accepting 100-240V AC and cannot receive operating power through its uplinks. Its measured consumption reaches 285.1W at full throughput with maximum PoE loading. Provide a local AC connection and size the electrical supply for the switch plus its powered endpoints.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S reached end of sale on April 30, 2025, and its last date of Cisco support is April 30, 2030. Software maintenance releases and new service attachments ended April 30, 2026. C9200CX-8UXG-2X-A is the named replacement; continued support depends on eligible existing coverage and applicable terms.
The Catalyst 3560-CX provides hardware MACsec on host-facing ports, Cisco TrustSec SXP, flexible authentication, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard. Authentication options include 802.1X, MAC Authentication Bypass, and web authentication. These controls require configuration appropriate to the attached endpoints and the surrounding access-control environment.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S supplies PoE+ on eight access ports, whereas WS-C3560CX-8TC-S provides data-only access without endpoint power. WS-C3560CX-8TC-S is discontinued, with end of sale on April 30, 2024. The powered model suits attached devices requiring switch-delivered electricity; the data-only configuration suits maintenance of installations where endpoints have separate power.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S requires local AC power, while WS-C3560CX-8PT-S can receive operating power through suitable PoE uplink connections. WS-C3560CX-8PT-S is discontinued, with end of sale on April 30, 2026. The AC-powered configuration suits locations with an outlet; the pass-through configuration addresses installations dependent on upstream power and its connection requirements.
WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S has two multigigabit access ports, whereas C9200CX-8UXG-2X-A has four within its eight-port access configuration. C9200CX-8UXG-2X-A is the named replacement for the discontinued model. Existing installations needing two faster copper connections can retain the older configuration; purchases requiring four multigigabit endpoint connections should specify the replacement.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560CX-8XPD-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is for eligible original owners, with Cisco service ending April 30, 2030.
