WS-C3560X-48PF-S is a standalone enterprise access switch with modular uplinks and IP Base software. Specify the uplink configuration separately rather than assuming fiber connectivity is included with the chassis.
WS-C3560X-48PF-S price for new stock is $1,495.20, a 87% saving from the Cisco list price of $11,500.00. WS-C3560X-48PF-S refurb price is $204.75. WS-C3560X-48PF-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

101.2 Mpps forwarding requires two 10G uplinks. The 173.69W consumption figure excludes endpoint power and uses C3KX-SM-10G, so it is not a fully populated PoE load figure. WS-C3560X-48PF-S requires separate consideration of switch consumption and powered-device demand when sizing the electrical circuit.
WS-C3560X-48PF-S is available new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, and PoE output under load verified, plus firmware verification and configuration wiping to factory default. Specify condition and included accessories on the PO; ORM warranties are up to a 3-year extended term for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage ended with support on October 31, 2021. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume orders across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a large enterprise campus, the Catalyst 3560X 48 Port Full PoE IP Base switch powers 40+ 802.11ac access points over a single Ethernet cable and centralizes configuration via Cisco IOS. Benefit: Delivers up to 740 W PoE budget for seamless Wi-Fi coverage, reduces cabling complexity, and accelerates network rollout.
At multi-building sites, WS-C3560X-48PF-S delivers Power over Ethernet to up to 48 high-resolution IP cameras while enforcing secure VLAN segmentation with Cisco TrustSec. Benefit: Ensures uninterrupted camera operation, simplifies management of video feeds, and strengthens perimeter security with low latency and scalable PoE power.
For branch offices deploying voice, video and data on a single network, the Catalyst 3560X 48 Port Full PoE IP Base switch supports 48 IP phones with advanced QoS and Layer 3 routing. Benefit: Optimizes call quality, streamlines PoE cabling, and accelerates branch provisioning with reliable unified communications.
An existing installation using WS-C3560E-48PD-SF may call for a replacement matching the established purchasing record. That predecessor ended sale on January 30, 2013. Before issuing the PO, identify which existing accessories must be retained and make their compatibility an explicit acceptance requirement.
An organization retaining this model may need a spare without treating the purchase as a broader network refresh. Cisco service ended on October 31, 2021. Separate the replacement-hardware requirement from manufacturer support expectations, and specify the required condition and included accessories on the PO.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is the forward replacement after discontinued WS-C3650-48FD-S; use that successor when evaluating a supported refresh.
Hardware stacking across access switches
Catalyst 3560-X operates as a standalone switch, not a hardware stack member. An installation requiring shared stack operation needs a different switch architecture.

WS-C3560X identifies Catalyst 3560-X hardware, 48 identifies the port count, PF identifies the full-PoE configuration, and S identifies IP Base. WS-C3560X-48PF-S should therefore be specified as the full-PoE IP Base variant, rather than treating the software suffix as interchangeable.
Catalyst 3560-X supports CLI, SSH, Telnet, SNMP, a PC-based configuration tool, and CiscoWorks LMS. SSH requires the cryptographic software image. Identify the intended administration method before staging the order.
Yes, WS-C3560X-48PF-S ended sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended on October 31, 2021. Its immediate replacement, WS-C3650-48FD-S, is also discontinued. The forward replacement is C9300L-48PF-4X-A, so continuing manufacturer support must be evaluated against that successor rather than the original model.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-48PF-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 on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage ended with support on October 31, 2021.
WS-C3560X-48PF-S includes IP Base; IP Services requires a separate upgrade license. Establish the required feature set before ordering, and make any upgrade entitlement a separate line-item requirement rather than assuming a refurbished chassis includes an upgraded license.
WS-C3560X-48PF-S replaces WS-C3560E-48PD-SF, which ended sale on January 30, 2013. That replacement relationship identifies a migration path, not a promise that every existing accessory transfers unchanged. An order intended to preserve an older installation should state which components must remain usable.
WS-C3560X-48PF-S has an 800W PoE budget; WS-C3560X-48P-S has 435W. Both are discontinued. Match the choice to the required endpoint allocation rather than port count alone: the PF variant suits the higher aggregate power requirement, while the P variant serves the lower allocation.
WS-C3560X-48PF-E includes IP Services instead of the IP Base supplied with WS-C3560X-48PF-S. Both are discontinued. Buyers maintaining an existing configuration should match its licensed feature set; buyers requiring the broader tier should specify IP Services explicitly rather than relying on the shared hardware description.
C9300L-48PF-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks, while WS-C3560X-48PF-S uses a separately selected uplink module. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is the forward replacement through discontinued WS-C3650-48FD-S. The older model serves exact-match replacement purchases; the successor belongs on a refresh evaluation requiring the newer uplink arrangement.
No, WS-C3560X-48PF-S shares its default power budget across the powered ports. Maximum output on every port requires additional power provisioning. Size the order from the endpoint allocation rather than assuming that the full-PoE designation guarantees simultaneous maximum PoE+ output.
