WS-C3560X-48P-S is a standalone Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, PoE+, and an empty modular uplink bay accepting 1G or 10G modules. The Catalyst 3560-X chassis occupies 1U in a standard equipment rack and carries the IP Base feature set for baseline routed access. Fixed copper connections serve user equipment, phones, and wireless access points; fiber or copper uplinks depend on the selected module. Unlike the discontinued WS-C3560X-48T-S, this 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch supplies endpoint power rather than requiring attached devices to use separate power connections.
WS-C3560X-48P-S price for new stock is $1,993.95, a 80.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $10,400.00. WS-C3560X-48P-S refurb price is $110.88. WS-C3560X-48P-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for local Ethernet forwarding. 101.2 Mpps forwarding applies to a configuration with two 10G uplinks, rather than describing installed uplink hardware in the base unit. 435W of shared PoE power requires allocation across connected endpoints; individual powered ports support a 30W PoE+ maximum. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub, and OSPF for routed access support baseline routing requirements. BGPv4 and full EIGRP are not included with IP Base. WS-C3560X-48P-S uses 256 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for runtime operation and stored software. LACP negotiates aggregated Ethernet links, while MACsec provides Ethernet link encryption with a suitable cryptographic image. Local console access and a dedicated Ethernet management interface provide separate paths for administration and recovery.
WS-C3560X-48P-S is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; specify the condition and required accessory PIDs on the purchase order. 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; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, plus 30-day returns in every condition; terms apply. Cisco warranty support ended October 31, 2021. Submit the PO with quantities and condition; enterprise and volume orders support government Net-30, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a multinational headquarters, IT teams deploy the WS-C3560X-48P-S-Catalyst 3560X 48 Port PoE IP Base to power 48 Cisco IP phones over a single cabling infrastructure. With built-in Cisco IP Base features—Auto Voice VLAN, advanced QoS and 802.1X authentication—the switch delivers crystal-clear voice quality, simplifies moves/adds/changes and reduces cabling costs by up to 30%. The result is a secure, high-availability VoIP network that meets enterprise SLAs and supports rapid growth.
A large university campus leverages the WS-C3560X-48P-S to centralize power and data for up to 48 802.11ac access points. The switch’s PoE+ provisioning, 10GbE uplinks and Cisco StackWise™ technology ensure low-latency connectivity and seamless roaming across lecture halls and dormitories. By optimizing QoS policies and enabling redundant power supplies, the deployment achieves 99.99% uptime, scales to meet peak student demand and lowers operational overhead.
A regional retail chain standardizes store network infrastructure on the WS-C3560X-48P-S-Catalyst 3560X 48 Port PoE IP Base to power HD IP cameras and POS terminals. Role-based ACLs and Private VLAN Edge isolate video traffic, while PoE scheduling conserves energy after hours. This turnkey solution delivers encrypted, real-time video feeds to the central monitoring center, simplifies troubleshooting and cuts installation complexity by 40%, ensuring loss-proof surveillance and regulatory compliance.
A replacement order for an installed WS-C3560G-48PS-S or WS-C3560E-48PD-S starts with matching existing copper cabling and uplink media. Both older models reached end of sale on January 30, 2013. Specify the required accessories rather than assuming that legacy uplink components transfer to the replacement.
An endpoint refresh involving devices that request more than 15.4W requires a power-negotiation check, not only a port-count check. CDP or LLDP requests control higher PoE+ allocation on the Ethernet interfaces. Confirm each device's negotiation behavior and aggregate demand before specifying the power supply configuration.
A staging bench preparing switches before installation can use the USB mini-B console independently of the production network. Console sessions require 9600 baud, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow control. Specify the intended console connection and stage the configuration before shipment.
Current Cisco hardware support
Cisco service for WS-C3560X-48P-S ended October 31, 2021. The forward replacement is C9300L-48P-4X-A, which changes the uplink architecture to four fixed 10G uplinks.
Multi-switch hardware data stacking
WS-C3560X-48P-S operates as a standalone switch without hardware data stacking. Management clusters do not create a shared switching fabric, so this model cannot join a hardware switch stack.
BGP routing with the included license
WS-C3560X-48P-S ships with IP Base, which excludes BGPv4 and full EIGRP. Those routing features require IP Services rather than the included license.

WS-C3560X-48P-S identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X switch: WS-C3560X is the family identifier, 48 denotes 48 Ethernet access ports, P denotes PoE+, and S denotes IP Base. The configuration combines Gigabit copper access with a separately selected uplink module rather than fixed uplink ports.
WS-C3560X-48P-S supports Device Manager web management, Cisco IOS CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, and SNMP applications including CiscoWorks LMS. Cisco IOS Configuration Engine and Cisco IE2100 Configuration Registrar automate configuration through CNS agents. USB and RJ-45 console interfaces provide local access.
WS-C3560X-48P-S provides a shared 435W PoE budget with its supplied C3KX-PWR-715WAC, and each powered access port supports a 30W PoE+ maximum. The budget cannot provide maximum output on every port simultaneously. Assess total endpoint demand before adding a second supply or changing supply capacity.
The Catalyst 3560-X accepts C3KX-NM-1G, C3KX-NM-10G, C3KX-NM-10GT, and C3KX-SM-10G, with the uplink module ordered separately. C3KX-NM-1G provides four 1G ports, C3KX-NM-10G provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and C3KX-NM-10GT provides two copper 10G ports. C3KX-SM-10G provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks with NetFlow and MACsec.
No, the Catalyst 3560-X does not support hardware data stacking and operates as a standalone switch. StackWise Plus belongs to the discontinued Catalyst 3750-X rather than this series. Cisco Network Assistant can manage multiple devices together, but that management grouping does not turn the switches into a hardware stack.
WS-C3560X-48P-S ships with one C3KX-PWR-715WAC installed, and its second internal power supply bay is empty by default. A second compatible supply can add redundancy or increase endpoint power, depending on sizing. Specify the intended supply combination explicitly; two supplies are not included with the standard base configuration.
WS-C3560X-48P-S uses a permanent IP Base feature license, with no minimum subscription term for that feature set. The Catalyst 3560-X tiers are LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services. Advanced IP Services functions require a separately licensed upgrade; temporary evaluation licenses are distinct from permanent entitlements.
WS-C3560X-48P-S replaces WS-C3560G-48PS-S and WS-C3560E-48PD-S, both discontinued models whose end-of-sale date was January 30, 2013. Those predecessors used fixed uplink configurations, while the replacement selects uplinks through an optional module. Include the appropriate module and media when planning the hardware change.
Cisco ended sales of WS-C3560X-48P-S on October 30, 2016, and ended support on October 31, 2021. WS-C3650-48PD-S was the original replacement but is also discontinued. The forward migration chain leads to C9300L-48P-4X-A, with Network Advantage and four fixed 10G uplinks.
WS-C3560X-48P-S supplies PoE+ on its 48 copper access ports, whereas WS-C3560X-48T-S provides 48 data-only ports without endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. The powered model fits legacy purchases involving phones or access points; the data-only model suits equipment with separate power connections.
WS-C3560X-48P-S includes IP Base, while WS-C3560X-48P-E includes IP Services for advanced routing features beyond the baseline license. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3560-X models. IP Base suits baseline routed-access requirements; an IP Services configuration suits legacy deployments that require the advanced routing feature set.
C9300L-48P-4X-A provides four fixed 10G uplinks, while WS-C3560X-48P-S requires an optional uplink module. The discontinued Catalyst 3560-X suits like-for-like legacy purchases; the successor suits buyers standardizing on a fixed-uplink replacement. The migration passes through WS-C3650-48PD-S, which is also discontinued.
ORM offers WS-C3560X-48P-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty ended with Cisco support on October 31, 2021.
