WS-C3560E-48PD-EF is a standalone Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports, two fixed 10G X2 uplink interfaces, and the IP Services software feature set. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E family and connects powered phones, wireless access points, and other compatible endpoints. Its uplinks use X2 interfaces rather than native SFP+ cages, an important distinction when matching existing fiber connections. The closest lower-power sibling, WS-C3560E-48PD-E, has a 370W PoE budget and is also discontinued. This 48-port Gigabit PoE switch operates independently rather than joining a hardware stack.

128 Gbps switching capacity provides the internal switching fabric, while 101.2 Mpps forwarding supports packet processing independently of the port-speed specification. 740W of available PoE power supplies compatible endpoints across the powered access ports. OSPF, EIGRP, and BGPv4 support dynamic IPv4 routing under IP Services; PBR and PIM-SM extend traffic handling to policy-based forwarding and multicast routing. WS-C3560E-48PD-EF uses 128 MB of DRAM for operating state and 64 MB of flash for software storage. Forwarding resources depend on the selected SDM template: the maximum MAC capacity is 12000 entries, while the routing template supports 11000 total unicast routes. Those maxima belong to different resource allocations and should not be treated as simultaneous limits. STP, RSTP, MSTP, and LACP provide spanning-tree and link-aggregation functions. The Catalyst 3560-E includes a separate Ethernet management interface and an RS-232 console connection.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560E-48PD-EF new sealed and certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with every powered port verified under load, firmware verified, and configuration wiped to factory default. Select the condition and confirm the required accessories before placing the order; refurbished checks also cover power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, C3K-PWR-1150WAC PSU status, and C3K-BLWR-60CFM= fan status. ORM warranties are up to a 3-year extended term for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original 90-day limited warranty is ended. Volume and enterprise orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When replacing an existing voice or wireless access switch, check every powered endpoint against the 15.4W per-port ceiling before matching the hardware. Higher endpoint demand changes the equipment requirement even when unused ports remain. Specify the endpoint power classes and required powered-port inventory on the purchase order.
When retaining inter-VLAN routing at the access switch, inventory the required routed interfaces and VLANs before duplicating an existing configuration. The Catalyst 3560-E supports 1000 SVIs and 1005 VLANs, while SDM selection changes forwarding-resource allocation. Specify the required interface count and selected template as part of the order acceptance criteria.
When staging configurations that use large Ethernet frames, include a 9216-byte jumbo-frame test in the acceptance plan. The Catalyst 3560-E supports that frame size on its Gigabit configurations, but a working path also depends on neighboring devices. Confirm the end-to-end MTU and specify the jumbo-frame acceptance requirement before issuing the PO.
PoE+ power for higher-draw endpoints
The powered ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE at 15.4W per port, not PoE+. Endpoints requiring a higher power class cannot receive their required power from this model.
Four native 10G uplinks
The chassis has two 10G X2 uplink interfaces. C9300L-48PF-4X-A provides four fixed 10G uplinks and is the current endpoint of the replacement chain.
Two internal redundant power supplies
The Catalyst 3560-E has one internal power-supply slot, so a second internal supply cannot be installed. External backup uses PWR-RPS2300 rather than a second internal bay.

WS-C3560E-48PD-EF identifies a Catalyst 3560-E configuration with 48 Gigabit PoE access ports, two 10G X2 uplinks, IP Services, and the 1150W AC configuration. WS-C3560E identifies the family; 48 identifies port density; PD identifies the powered access and uplink configuration; EF identifies the software and full-power variant.
WS-C3560E-48PD-EF is managed through the Cisco IOS CLI using its console connection or remote sessions, including Telnet and SSH with a cryptographic software image. Cisco Network Assistant and CiscoWorks LMS provide additional management paths. A separate Ethernet management interface supports out-of-band access; confirm the required software image before ordering.
WS-C3560E-48PD-EF reached end of sale on January 30, 2013, and its last date of support was January 31, 2018. Cisco service has ended for this model. New sealed inventory does not restart the lifecycle, so condition selection should follow the buyer's legacy-equipment and sparing requirements.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560E-48PD-EF new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 90-day limited warranty is ended, with support ending January 31, 2018.
IP Services is the software feature set supplied with WS-C3560E-48PD-EF. The Catalyst 3560-E family also supports IP Base and Advanced IP Services through license-file activation. LL-3560E-IPS= addresses used-equipment IP Services relicensing, while 3560E-AISK9-LIC-S= upgrades IP Services to Advanced IP Services for the additional IPv6 routing capabilities.
WS-C3560E-48PD-EF provides a 740W PoE budget with C3K-PWR-1150WAC and supports 15.4W on each powered access port. The endpoint power standard is IEEE 802.3af rather than PoE+. Match every endpoint's required power class before specifying the switch; unused port capacity does not increase the supported per-port power class.
The Catalyst 3560-E uses X2 uplink interfaces with options including X2-10GB-SR= and X2-10GB-LR=. CVR-X2-SFP provides two Gigabit SFP interfaces in place of one X2 interface. Specify the intended link speed, fiber type, and connector requirements on the order rather than assuming a native SFP+ uplink arrangement.
No, WS-C3560E-48PD-EF is a standalone switch rather than a hardware-stackable model. Ethernet uplinks connect separate switches but do not create a shared stack fabric. Orders intended to extend an existing hardware stack require a different model; a stacking kit or stack cable does not add that capability to this chassis.
IP Services on the Catalyst 3560-E supports OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, static routing, RIP, PBR, and PIM multicast routing. Forwarding-resource allocation depends on the SDM template rather than the software tier alone. Advanced IP Services is required for the additional IPv6 routing capabilities, so IPv4 routing entitlement should not be treated as IPv6 routing entitlement.
WS-C3560E-48PD-EF provides a 740W PoE budget, whereas WS-C3560E-48PD-E provides 370W. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3560-E configurations. The EF configuration suits legacy replacement requirements involving the higher available endpoint-power allocation; the E configuration matches an existing lower-budget installation where that smaller allocation is part of the required hardware configuration.
WS-C3560E-48PD-EF includes IP Services, while WS-C3560E-48PD-SF includes IP Base. Both models are discontinued. IP Services suits legacy configurations requiring advanced IPv4 routing, while IP Base matches installations using its more limited routing feature set. Match the existing software entitlement and configuration requirements rather than treating the two suffixes as interchangeable.
C9300L-48PF-4X-A has four fixed 10G uplinks, whereas WS-C3560E-48PD-EF has two 10G X2 uplink interfaces. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is the current replacement-chain endpoint. The older switch suits exact-match legacy sparing; the current model suits a migration purchase requiring the four-uplink configuration rather than preservation of the existing X2 arrangement.
