WS-C3560X-24U-L Use Case
High-Density UPOE for Enterprise IP Telephony
Scenario: A multinational corporation needs to deploy 200+ IP phones across two regional branch offices. By installing the WS-C3560X-24U-L Catalyst 3560X 24-Port UPOE LAN Base switch, the IT team delivers up to 60W per port, powers PoE+ IP phones and conference phones over a single Cat5e run, and segments voice traffic with built-in QoS and VLAN support. Outcome: Simplified cabling, rapid voice rollout in hours not days, guaranteed voice quality and energy-efficient operation with Cisco EnergyWise.
Campus Wireless Access Point Aggregation with UPOE
Scenario: A university campus IT department must consolidate uplinks for 150+ 802.11ax access points in multiple buildings. Using the WS-C3560X-24U-L, administrators aggregate wireless APs on 24 UPOE ports, leverage 10GbE fiber uplinks, apply Cisco TrustSec for secure guest/staff segmentation, and enforce per-port power budgeting. Outcome: Scalable wireless backhaul, zero-touch PoE provisioning, robust security policies, and high-performance roaming for 10,000 students and faculty.
Smart Building Video Surveillance & IoT Convergence
Scenario: A commercial real estate developer integrates HD PTZ cameras, environmental sensors and digital signage across a 12-floor tower. The WS-C3560X-24U-L switch powers up to 24 high-wattage devices simultaneously, implements IEEE 802.1X port authentication, and leverages LAN Base features for ACL-based microsegmentation. Outcome: Centralized PoE management, enhanced building security, real-time environmental monitoring and low TCO through unified data/IoT infrastructure.
