Technical Details

160 Gbps switching capacity handles the switching fabric, while 101.2 Mpps forwarding applies with two 10GbE uplinks installed. WS-C3560X-48P-L uses 256 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash. Static routing is limited to 16 routes under LAN Base; OSPF requires an upgraded license. The 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch allocates a shared 435W endpoint budget with its default supply.

Ordering

WS-C3560X-48P-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranty of up to a 3-year extended term for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition has 30-day returns, and terms apply. Certified 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. Specify this switch's condition, quantities and accessories on the PO; Cisco service and its Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty ended October 31, 2021. PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement cover enterprise and volume orders, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Separate software upgrade entitlements

WS-C3560X-48P-L needs C3560X-48-L-S or L-C3560X-48-L-S for an IP Base upgrade, or C3560X-48-L-E or L-C3560X-48-L-E for IP Services. Specify paper or electronic license delivery separately.

Uplink hardware ordered separately

WS-C3560X-48P-L requires a separate uplink purchase: C3KX-NM-1G provides four 1G connections, C3KX-NM-10G provides two 10G fiber connections, and C3KX-NM-10GT provides two 10G copper connections.

Full-port power requires additional supplies

WS-C3560X-48P-L cannot allocate 48 × 30W = 1440W from its shared 435W budget. Full-port PoE+ requires C3KX-PWR-1100WAC plus C3KX-PWR-715WAC, or two C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supplies.

Replacement chain beyond discontinued hardware

WS-C3560X-48P-L has no Cisco service after October 31, 2021. Its direct replacement, WS-C3650-48PD-L, is also discontinued; the current forward replacement is C9300L-48P-4X-E.

WS-C3560X-48P-L Use Case

High-Density PoE+ for Campus Wireless and VoIP Infrastructure

In a 1,000-user corporate campus, the WS-C3560X-48P-L delivers 48 PoE+ ports to power IP phones and 802.11ac access points from a single chassis. Integrated QoS, Layer 3 routing, and Cisco TrustSec enforce voice and data segmentation while reducing rack space and cabling complexity. Outcome: Simplified power management, deterministic bandwidth for voice/Wi-Fi, and a resilient, centrally managed LAN architecture.

Branch Office Consolidation with Secure PoE-Powered IoT and Surveillance

A retail chain deploys the Catalyst 3560X 48 Port PoE LAN Base in 50 regional outlets to power PoE cameras, badge readers, and Wi-Fi hotspots. With key features like dynamic VLAN assignment, ACL-based segmentation, and optional redundant power, each branch achieves PCI-compliant security and zero-touch provisioning from head office. Outcome: Uniform policy enforcement, reduced on-site IT overhead, and accelerated store roll-out.

Medium-Sized Call Center VoIP Deployment with Advanced QoS and Uplink Redundancy

A 200-seat customer support center relies on the WS-C3560X-48P-L to deliver power and data connectivity for IP handsets, CRM kiosks, and dual uplinks to a core switch. Cisco’s Per-VLAN QoS and hot-swappable PoE+ power supplies guarantee uninterrupted voice quality under peak loads. Outcome: Consistent call clarity, zero unscheduled downtime, and simplified network scaling for future growth.

Best For

Endpoint Power Allocation

When replacing a mixed group of phones and access points, collect each endpoint's requested power rather than treating port population as a power requirement. Per-port power policing constrains individual allocations. Before the PO, specify the endpoint inventory and the intended allocation policy separately from the required chassis quantity.

Replacement Spare Preparation

For a like-for-like spare, match the installed accessories as well as the chassis PID. C3KX-RACK-KIT= supplies replacement rack brackets. Record the existing mounting position and accessory inventory, then include missing mounting hardware in the PO rather than treating chassis condition as confirmation of every accessory supplied.

Configuration Staging

When staging configuration changes away from production, establish how the engineer will connect before ordering accessories. USB console input takes precedence over RJ-45 console input. Identify the intended workstation connection, account for simultaneous console connections, and verify the required accessory inventory before releasing the staging equipment PO.

Not Suitable If

Cisco-backed service coverage

Cisco service ended October 31, 2021. For a supported refresh rather than legacy sparing, C9300L-48P-4X-E is the current endpoint of the replacement chain.

Dynamic routing with the included license

LAN Base provides static routing, not OSPF. Dynamic routing requires a different software entitlement; the included license does not meet that requirement.

Hardware switch stacking

Catalyst 3560-X does not support switch stacking or StackPower. Connecting independent chassis through Ethernet ports does not turn them into hardware stack members.

Questions & Answers

What does the WS-C3560X-48P-L part number mean?

WS-C3560X-48P-L identifies the standalone Catalyst 3560-X family: WS-C3560X is the family identifier, 48 denotes the copper Ethernet port count, P denotes PoE+, and L selects LAN Base. The configuration includes C3KX-PWR-715WAC power; an uplink module is a separate purchase.

How is the Catalyst 3560-X managed?

Catalyst 3560-X management includes the browser-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI through RJ-45 or USB console, Telnet or SSH, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS, and SNMP. SSH requires a cryptographic software image; console access provides a local configuration path.

What is the lifecycle status of WS-C3560X-48P-L?

WS-C3560X-48P-L ended sale October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. The discontinued direct replacement is WS-C3650-48PD-L. Following that replacement forward leads to C9300L-48P-4X-E rather than stopping at another discontinued chassis.

Which conditions and warranties does ORM offer for WS-C3560X-48P-L?

ORM offers WS-C3560X-48P-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 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 and Cisco service ended October 31, 2021.

Which licensing options apply to WS-C3560X-48P-L?

WS-C3560X-48P-L includes LAN Base. Separate paper or electronic license upgrades enable IP Base or IP Services through Cisco IOS software activation. The installed license file determines the active feature set; changing the uplink hardware does not change that entitlement.

How much PoE power does WS-C3560X-48P-L provide?

WS-C3560X-48P-L provides a shared 435W PoE budget with C3KX-PWR-715WAC. Individual ports support 30W PoE+, but the shared budget does not permit all 48 ports to draw their individual maximum simultaneously.

Which uplink modules fit the Catalyst 3560-X LAN Base configuration?

Catalyst 3560-X LAN Base supports C3KX-NM-1G, C3KX-NM-10G, and C3KX-NM-10GT. These provide four 1G connections, two 10G fiber connections, or two 10G copper connections respectively. The base chassis does not include an uplink module.

What is the difference between WS-C3560X-48P-L and WS-C3560X-48T-L?

WS-C3560X-48P-L supplies PoE+ on its access ports, while WS-C3560X-48T-L is non-PoE. Both are discontinued. The powered model suits legacy sparing for switch-powered endpoints; the non-PoE model suits replacement requirements where endpoints have separate power.

What is the difference between WS-C3560X-48P-L and WS-C3560X-48P-S?

WS-C3560X-48P-L includes LAN Base, while WS-C3560X-48P-S includes IP Base. Both are discontinued. The L configuration suits matching an existing LAN Base spare; the S configuration suits legacy replacement requirements tied to an IP Base entitlement.

What is the difference between WS-C3560X-48P-L and C9300L-48P-4X-E?

WS-C3560X-48P-L requires a separately purchased uplink module, whereas C9300L-48P-4X-E carries four 10G uplinks. The discontinued 3560-X suits like-for-like legacy sparing; C9300L-48P-4X-E is the current replacement-chain choice for a hardware refresh.
