WS-C3560X-24U-S is a standalone Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet UPOE ports and modular uplinks. Its base configuration has an empty uplink bay rather than installed fiber interfaces, allowing the uplink configuration to be specified separately. The Rack-Mount 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X family and carries the IP Base feature set for baseline routed access. This 24-port Gigabit UPOE access switch connects conventional powered endpoints alongside compatible higher-draw devices, including virtual desktop clients and personal video systems. The discontinued WS-C3560X-24P-S sibling provides PoE+ instead of UPOE. The UPOE configuration remains a distinct choice when maintaining an existing deployment that requires its endpoint-power capabilities.

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for access traffic. 65.5 Mpps forwarding applies with two 10GbE uplinks installed, so that performance figure should not be read as a description of the empty-bay configuration. 800W of shared PoE power is available with the standard supply, requiring endpoint demand to be allocated within the installed power budget. Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access support the included routing functions. Full enterprise routing is not included in the installed tier. WS-C3560X-24U-S carries 256 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for system operation and image storage. The routing template accommodates 11000 total unicast routes, while the VLAN template accommodates 12000 MAC entries; these maxima belong to different resource allocations. A dedicated Ethernet management interface separates administrative connectivity from access-port traffic. Cooling uses two C3KX-FAN-23CFM= modules, each containing two fans, with airflow also passing through the power-supply assemblies.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3560X-24U-S new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New orders carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished orders up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2021. Submit enterprise or volume purchase orders with condition, quantities and required accessories; PO acceptance, government Net-30, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA cover the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a mid-sized branch office, the WS-C3560X-24U-S Catalyst 3560X delivers 24 10/100/1000 UPOE ports and IP Base features to power VoIP phones and connect user PCs on a single switch. Integrated QoS and PoE+ auto-sensing guarantee crystal-clear voice quality, reduce cabling costs and simplify management via Cisco IOS IP Base. Outcome: Rapid roll-out of unified communications with 30% lower operational overhead and zero downtime for voice traffic.
A national retail chain deploys the WS-C3560X-24U-S to support 20+ high-definition PoE cameras and environmental IoT sensors per store. UPOE ports deliver up to 60W per device, eliminating external power injectors. Advanced security features—802.1X, dynamic ARP inspection and port ACLs—protect payment terminals and camera feeds. Outcome: Centralized video management with 40% faster provisioning and enhanced loss prevention through real-time analytics.
An educational institution uses the Catalyst 3560X 24-port UPOE switch to power 15 wireless access points and departmental PCs in a single closet. Layer 3 IP Base routing enables inter-VLAN segmentation for student, faculty and guest networks. Smart stacking and SFP uplinks deliver 10Gbps redundancy and simplify firmware upgrades campus-wide. Outcome: Scalable wireless coverage with 50% improved throughput, granular security policies and centralized monitoring in Cisco DNA Center.
During bench staging, simultaneous console attachments can interrupt the expected input path: USB mini-Type B takes precedence over RJ-45, although output remains active on both connectors. Select the technician's console method and confirm any required USB driver before ordering the staging accessories.
When a maintenance pool supplies replacement hardware for an installed fleet, an unoccupied second power-supply bay still needs its blank cover for cooling. Include C3KX-PS-BLANK= in the spare configuration and verify that enclosure covers remain fitted before placing the replenishment purchase order.
When several sites standardize on four-point rack support, mounting accessories need their own purchase-order line rather than an assumption about chassis condition. C3KX-4PT-KIT= supplies extension rails and mounting hardware; confirm rack compatibility, mounting position and the accessory quantity for each site before ordering.
Current Cisco-supported hardware deployment
Cisco service ended October 31, 2021. C9300L-24P-4X-A is the current successor through discontinued WS-C3650-24PD-S, with four 10G uplinks and Network Advantage rather than IP Base.
Hardware data-stack expansion
WS-C3560X-24U-S operates as a standalone switch and cannot join a hardware data stack. Ethernet connections between chassis do not create one stacked switching system with a shared control plane.
Full enterprise routing on IP Base
IP Base excludes full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, IS-ISv4 and PBR. Those functions require IP Services feature activation rather than an uplink module or additional power supply.

WS-C3560X-24U-S identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet UPOE ports and IP Base software. The WS-C3560X segment identifies the switch family, 24 gives the access-port count, U identifies UPOE, and S identifies IP Base. The part number does not include an installed uplink module.
The Catalyst 3560-X supports a browser-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI through console or Telnet, SSH with a cryptographic image, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS and SNMP management. Local console connections use RJ-45 or USB mini-Type B, while a dedicated Ethernet management port provides separate administrative connectivity.
WS-C3560X-24U-S is discontinued: Cisco sales ended October 30, 2016, and hardware support ended October 31, 2021. Cisco service is no longer available for this hardware. Its original replacement, WS-C3650-24PD-S, is also discontinued; the forward replacement chain reaches C9300L-24P-4X-A with Network Advantage and four 10G uplinks.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-24U-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2021. Certified refurbished units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified and wiped to factory default.
WS-C3560X-24U-S comes with IP Base, enabled through Cisco IOS software activation, rather than the IP Services feature set. The license file determines the functions enabled at boot. The original IP Services upgrade paths included factory activation, paper licenses and electronic licenses; an uplink-module purchase does not provide that software entitlement.
WS-C3560X-24U-S provides an 800W shared PoE budget with its standard C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supply and supports UPOE delivery of 60W per compatible port. Two C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supplies increase the available budget to 1800W. The single-supply budget must be allocated across endpoints; it does not cover 24 simultaneous 60W loads.
The Catalyst 3560-X accepts C3KX-NM-1G for four Gigabit ports, C3KX-NM-10G for SFP/SFP+ connectivity, C3KX-NM-10GT for two 10GBASE-T ports, or C3KX-SM-10G for two SFP+ service-module ports. The base switch ships without an uplink module. Select the module configuration and compatible optics separately when preparing a fiber uplink order.
No, WS-C3560X-24U-S ships with one C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supply; the second internal supply is optional. A second supply can provide redundancy or additional power capacity, depending on the installed load. Removing a supply can shut down powered devices when endpoint demand exceeds the power remaining from the other supply.
WS-C3560X-24U-S occupies 1U and measures 44.5 mm high, 445 mm wide and 495 mm deep, with a weight of 7.2 kg. C3KX-RACK-KIT= provides rack-mount hardware. Check usable rack depth, rear cable clearance and airflow before ordering, particularly where power connections or adjacent equipment restrict access.
No, the Catalyst 3560-X is a standalone switch and does not provide hardware data stacking. Connecting multiple units through Ethernet uplinks creates inter-switch links, not a single hardware stack. Management clustering also does not change that distinction or add the dedicated stack connections found on a stackable switch.
WS-C3560X-24U-S provides UPOE with an 800W standard power budget, while WS-C3560X-24P-S provides PoE+ with 435W. Both models are discontinued and carry IP Base. The UPOE model suits compatible higher-draw endpoint requirements; the PoE+ model suits maintenance purchases where the lower power class and budget match the installed endpoints.
WS-C3560X-24U-S includes IP Base, while WS-C3560X-24U-E includes IP Services for advanced routing functions. Both UPOE models are discontinued. The S configuration suits existing access deployments using baseline routing; the E configuration suits an installed environment requiring the full routing functions enabled by IP Services rather than IP Base.
C9300L-24P-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks, while WS-C3560X-24U-S requires a separately selected uplink module. The Catalyst 3560-X model is discontinued and no longer Cisco-supported. The older model suits maintenance of an existing modular-uplink installation; C9300L-24P-4X-A is the current successor for buyers moving to the four-uplink configuration.
