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.
