WS-C3560X-24T-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports for separately powered endpoints. The modular uplink bay ships empty, with no fixed fiber uplinks included. Catalyst 3560-X uses a full-width 1U chassis and the IP Services feature set for advanced routed access. Fiber and copper uplink configurations are available through compatible modules, keeping the access-port configuration separate from the uplink choice. The discontinued WS-C3560X-24P-E sibling adds PoE+ output, whereas this data-only model does not power connected endpoints. A second internal power supply can provide redundancy without changing the access-port configuration. This configuration serves retained enterprise installations requiring standalone switching rather than hardware stack membership.
WS-C3560X-24T-E price for new stock is $10,972.50, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $21,945.00. WS-C3560X-24T-E refurb price is $358.02. WS-C3560X-24T-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the hardware fabric rating for traffic sizing. 65.5 Mpps forwarding applies to the configuration equipped with two 10G uplinks. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support advanced IPv4 routing; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. PBR enables policy-directed forwarding, while PIM-SM and PIM-DM support multicast routing. WS-C3560X-24T-E carries 256 MB of DRAM for runtime operation and 64 MB of flash for software storage. SDM templates on Cisco Catalyst 3560-X allocate hardware resources between forwarding functions: the routing template supports 11000 total unicast routes, including directly connected hosts and indirect routes. The 12000-entry MAC maximum belongs to the VLAN template, which allocates no unicast routing entries, so those maxima are not simultaneous. 130.45W consumption at 100% traffic with C3KX-SM-10G installed provides a configuration-specific electrical-load reference, not an unloaded chassis measurement. Hardware stacking is unavailable, so an uplink upgrade does not create a stackable switch.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3560X-24T-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition has 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot and module bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantities and required accessories on the purchase order; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty and Cisco service ended October 31, 2021. Enterprise and volume purchases include PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement.

In a global corporate campus deploying hundreds of wired endpoints, IT teams use the Catalyst 3560X WS-C3560X-24T-E to enforce 802.1X identity-based authentication and dynamic VLAN assignment across all 24 GbE ports. This setup delivers granular user-level access control, reduces unauthorized access incidents by 85%, and simplifies compliance with data security regulations.
A distributed retail chain consolidates voice, point-of-sale, and back-office traffic at each branch using the Catalyst 3560X 24-port WS-C3560X-24T-E. Leveraging IP Services-level OSPF/EIGRP routing, HSRP redundancy, and optional RPS support, the solution maintains sub-second failover and 99.99% uptime. The outcome is uninterrupted transactions, centralized management, and a 40% reduction in branch IT support calls.
In a higher-education campus, network architects deploy WS-C3560X-24T-E switches in building distribution closets to support high-definition lecture capture, VoIP phones, and student workstations. Using IP Services QoS, multicast routing, and IGMP snooping on all 24 ports, the solution guarantees jitter-free video streaming and voice clarity, improving end-user experience and boosting classroom engagement by 30%.
When a retained site uses WS-C3560G-24TS-E or WS-C3560E-24TD-E, this chassis is their discontinued migration model. Both predecessors reached end of sale on January 30, 2013. Treat replacement as a configuration change rather than a port-for-port purchase; confirm the required uplink assembly and acceptance configuration before the PO.
When a retained access design requires routing between local networks, 1000 switched virtual interfaces provide a sizing checkpoint. Build the interface inventory before ordering, including networks that remain switched and interfaces that carry routed traffic. Specify the acceptance configuration on the PO so staging can verify the intended forwarding behavior.
When spares are being ordered for a retained Catalyst 3560-X estate, Cisco security support ended on October 30, 2019. ORM provides regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Separate replacement quantities from deployment quantities and record the receiving region before releasing the PO.
PoE for phones and access points
WS-C3560X-24T-E provides no PoE output. C9300L-24P-4X-A is the current 24-port powered migration option, with Network Advantage and four fixed 10G uplinks.
Membership in a hardware stack
The Catalyst 3560-X is a standalone switch without hardware stacking. Compatible uplink modules add network connections, but they do not provide membership in a hardware stack.
Continuing Cisco service coverage
Cisco service for WS-C3560X-24T-E ended October 31, 2021. Current migration leads to C9300L-24T-4X-A rather than the discontinued WS-C3650-24TD-E; specify replacement service entitlements separately.

WS-C3560X-24T-E identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X switch: WS-C3560X names the family, 24 specifies the access-port count, T denotes data-only 10/100/1000 Ethernet, and E selects IP Services. The configuration includes C3KX-PWR-350WAC; the uplink module is a separate selection rather than a fixed-port suffix.
WS-C3560X-24T-E supports CLI administration over console, SSH or Telnet, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3, a PC-based configuration tool and CiscoWorks LMS. RJ-45 console, USB Type-B console and Ethernet management connections provide administration paths. SSH and SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image, so confirm the installed image before acceptance.
Yes, WS-C3560X-24T-E reached end of sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. Software maintenance ended October 30, 2017, and security support ended October 30, 2019. A retained-installation purchase must therefore account for the absence of continuing Cisco service.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-24T-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty ended October 31, 2021. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, firmware verified and factory-default wiped.
WS-C3560X-24T-E uses IP Services activated through a Cisco IOS license file. Catalyst 3560-X feature-set paths cover LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services, with factory upgrades, paper licenses and electronic licenses. Record the required activated image on the PO and verify activation before accepting delivery.
WS-C3560X-24T-E replaces WS-C3560G-24TS-E and WS-C3560E-24TD-E, both of which reached end of sale on January 30, 2013. WS-C3560X-24T-E is also discontinued. For a retained replacement, specify the uplink assembly separately and verify the intended configuration rather than assuming the older switch's installed uplinks transfer unchanged.
Catalyst 3560-X accepts C3KX-NM-1G for four Gigabit SFP connections, C3KX-NM-10G for two 10G SFP+ connections, C3KX-NM-10GT for two 10GBASE-T connections, or C3KX-SM-10G for two 10G SFP+ service-module connections. The base configuration excludes the uplink module, so specify the selected module and required optics on the order.
No, Catalyst 3560-X is a standalone family and cannot join a hardware switch stack. Compatible uplink modules provide network connections, not stacking interfaces. For a retained installation, evaluate each chassis as a separate switch and do not include stacking cables or a stacking kit in its configuration.
WS-C3560X-24T-E supports 11000 total unicast routes with the routing SDM template, comprising 3000 directly connected hosts and 8000 indirect routes. The 12000-entry MAC maximum belongs to the VLAN template, which provides no unicast routing entries. Select the resource template against the actual forwarding requirement before staging.
Catalyst 3560-X supports redundant internal supplies, but WS-C3560X-24T-E ships with one C3KX-PWR-350WAC and an empty second supply bay. Order a second compatible supply when redundancy is required. A single installed supply belongs in bay 1; accepting two supplies does not mean both are included in the base configuration.
WS-C3560X-24P-E supplies PoE+ output, while WS-C3560X-24T-E provides data connectivity without endpoint power. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3560-X models. The data model suits separately powered endpoints in retained installations; the powered model addresses PoE+ endpoint connections where an existing deployment specifically requires that legacy hardware configuration.
WS-C3560X-24T-E includes IP Services, whereas WS-C3560X-24T-S includes IP Base. IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 rather than IP Base's baseline routed-access features. Both models are discontinued; the E configuration serves advanced legacy routing requirements, while the S configuration serves retained baseline routed-access configurations.
C9300L-24T-4X-A has four fixed 10G uplinks, while WS-C3560X-24T-E requires a separately selected uplink module. C9300L-24T-4X-A is the current migration endpoint through the discontinued WS-C3650-24TD-E. The legacy chassis serves retained hardware configurations; C9300L-24T-4X-A addresses a current refresh requiring the fixed uplink configuration.
WS-C3560X-24T-E consumes 130.45W at 100% traffic with C3KX-SM-10G installed under 115V AC test conditions. This measurement includes the installed service-module configuration and is not an unloaded chassis value. Match electrical planning to the actual module configuration rather than treating the C3KX-PWR-350WAC supply rating as switch consumption.
