WS-C3560X-48T-E is a standalone, managed Layer 3 access switch with 48 Gigabit RJ-45 data ports, no endpoint PoE output, and an empty modular uplink bay. IP Services enables advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing at the enterprise access edge. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X Series and connects desktops or other separately powered equipment. The discontinued WS-C3560X-48P-E adds PoE+ endpoint power, distinguishing it from this data-only variant. Within Cisco Catalyst access switching, the removable uplink architecture separates endpoint connectivity from upstream interface selection. Host-facing MACsec encryption is available with a payload-encryption image, while 802.1X authentication controls endpoint admission. These security functions require configuration rather than operating automatically when a device connects.
WS-C3560X-48T-E price for new stock is $1,249.50, a 90.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $13,200.00. WS-C3560X-48T-E refurb price is $375.38. WS-C3560X-48T-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the forwarding fabric for access and upstream traffic. 101.2 Mpps forwarding rate applies with two 10GbE uplinks, so the installed uplink configuration matters when assessing that figure. 11000 total IPv4 routes are available with the routing SDM template, comprising 3000 directly connected host entries and 8000 indirect routes. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 provide full dynamic unicast routing; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. PIM-SM and PIM-DM support multicast distribution, while PBR enables policy-directed forwarding. WS-C3560X-48T-E uses 256 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash for control-plane operation and image storage. LACP supports aggregated Ethernet links, and RSTP/MSTP provide Layer 2 loop prevention. Hardware stacking is not supported. Changing the SDM template reallocates resources between MAC learning and routing, so validate both requirements before importing a configuration. 145.4W consumption at full traffic with C3KX-NM-10GT provides a module-equipped planning reference, not an as-shipped empty-bay measurement.
Order WS-C3560X-48T-E in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying quantity and required accessories before the PO is issued. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, module bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to 3-year extended warranty 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 hardware warranty ended October 31, 2021. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government, and provides RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA regional stock and RMA operations.

In large enterprise campuses, the WS-C3560X-48T-E serves as a resilient distribution switch. Deployed in a stack, it delivers enterprise-grade Layer 3 routing (OSPF, EIGRP, VRRP) to segment voice, data and guest VLANs across multiple buildings. Benefit: Achieve sub-10 ms stack failover, simplified management via single-IP stack address and seamless port expansion for growing user counts.
In modern data centers, the WS-C3560X-48T-E functions as a Top-of-Rack aggregator for server farms. It offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus four integrated 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks, supporting heavy east-west traffic and low-latency workloads. Benefit: Deliver consistent throughput under peak loads, leverage advanced IP Services (static/multicast routing) and simplify troubleshooting with Cisco IOS tools.
For campuses or branch offices running HD video surveillance and VoIP, the WS-C3560X-48T-E enforces QoS policies, IP multicast and Access Control Lists to guarantee priority delivery of CCTV streams and voice calls. It also supports DHCP snooping and dynamic ARP inspection for edge security. Benefit: Ensure uninterrupted video/voice quality, enforce robust security at the access layer and reserve bandwidth for mission-critical services.
When replacing discontinued WS-C3560G-48TS-E or WS-C3560E-48TD-E hardware, WS-C3560X-48T-E is the named replacement for both. Treat the purchase as a legacy-equipment refresh rather than a support renewal. Match the existing configuration and accessory inventory independently; the replacement relationship does not establish compatibility for every previously installed component. Specify the complete replacement assembly before issuing the PO.
When separate tenants reuse the same address space, the Catalyst 3560-X supports VRF-Lite for separate routing instances. The purchase depends on the intended segmentation model rather than port count alone. Provide the required routing-instance configuration and inter-instance connectivity policy for staging, and verify those requirements before issuing the PO.
When building a staging environment for large-frame traffic, the Catalyst 3560-X supports jumbo frames of 9216 bytes. Match the purchase to the packet sizes used by connected test equipment rather than assume every upstream link accepts the same frame size. Specify the intended frame size and test connections before the PO.
Current Cisco hardware support
Cisco service for WS-C3560X-48T-E ended October 31, 2021. C9300L-48T-4X-A is the current migration endpoint, with four fixed 10G uplinks instead of a removable uplink assembly.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C3560X-48T-E supplies no endpoint power. C9300L-48P-4X-A is the current PoE migration option, retaining 48 access ports while providing four fixed 10G uplinks.
Hardware stacking across multiple chassis
Catalyst 3560-X switches operate independently and do not support hardware stacking. Ethernet interconnection between chassis does not create a single stacked switching system.

Strong choice for access networks needing IP Services.
WS-C3560X-48T-E identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X with 48 copper Gigabit ports and IP Services. WS-C3560X identifies the switch family, 48 denotes the port count, T corresponds to data-only 10/100/1000 Ethernet, and E selects IP Services. The base configuration includes C3KX-PWR-350WAC but excludes an uplink module.
WS-C3560X-48T-E is managed through the browser-based device manager, Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco IOS CLI, CiscoWorks LMS, and SNMP. CLI access uses console, Telnet, or SSH; SSH requires a cryptographic image. An Ethernet management port and USB console connection provide additional administration paths without using an access port.
WS-C3560X-48T-E reached end-of-sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco service ended October 31, 2021. The direct replacement, WS-C3650-48TD-E, is also discontinued, and its migration chain continues to C9300L-48T-4X-A. Purchasing remaining sealed or refurbished inventory does not restart the original Cisco support lifecycle.
WS-C3560X-48T-E includes the permanent IP Services tier, with node-locked license-file activation or permanent RTU activation available. RTU requires purchased entitlement and EULA acceptance, but not a license-portal connection. These are perpetual activation paths rather than minimum-term subscriptions; specify the entitled tier and activation state on an ORM order.
WS-C3560X-48T-E was named as the replacement for discontinued WS-C3560G-48TS-E and WS-C3560E-48TD-E. Both predecessors reached end-of-sale on January 30, 2013. Reusing accessory orders from either older chassis requires separate compatibility checks; the replacement relationship alone does not establish that previously installed uplink hardware fits the replacement chassis.
WS-C3560X-48T-E accepts C3KX-NM-1G, C3KX-NM-10G, C3KX-NM-10GT, and C3KX-SM-10G uplink modules. C3KX-NM-1G provides four Gigabit interfaces; C3KX-NM-10G supports two active 10G SFP+ uplinks. C3KX-NM-10GT supplies two copper 10G interfaces, while C3KX-SM-10G adds service functions. Select the module and compatible connection hardware separately from the base switch.
The 48-port Catalyst 3560-X data switch ships with one C3KX-PWR-350WAC, leaving the second internal supply position available for an optional supply. A single supply belongs in bay 1. Power consumption varies with installed uplink hardware; the 350W supply rating is not the switch's measured operating draw.
No, WS-C3560X-48T-E does not support hardware switch stacking. The Catalyst 3560-X operates as a standalone switch even though its shared software can display stack-related processes. Ethernet links can interconnect separate chassis, but those connections do not turn the units into members of a hardware stack.
Catalyst 3560-X IP Services supports 11000 total IPv4 unicast routes with the routing SDM template, comprising 3000 directly connected hosts and 8000 indirect routes. That template provides 3000 MAC entries. The default template instead allocates 8000 total routes and 6000 MAC entries, so the maxima are not simultaneous.
ORM offers WS-C3560X-48T-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2021. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with firmware verified and configuration wiped.
WS-C3560X-48P-E provides PoE+ endpoint power, while WS-C3560X-48T-E provides data-only Ethernet ports. Both models are discontinued. The PoE model serves maintenance of installed powered-endpoint networks; the data model serves separately powered equipment. For current procurement, the PoE migration chain continues through discontinued WS-C3650-48PD-E to C9300L-48P-4X-A.
WS-C3560X-48T-E includes IP Services, whereas WS-C3560X-48T-S includes IP Base; both are discontinued. IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4. IP Base includes routed-access OSPF and EIGRP Stub. For installed-network maintenance, the E variant addresses advanced routing requirements, while the S variant addresses baseline routed access.
C9300L-48T-4X-A includes four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C3560X-48T-E requires an optional uplink module and supports two active 10G uplinks. The discontinued model addresses existing modular-uplink installations. C9300L-48T-4X-A is the current migration endpoint for buyers specifying fixed uplinks rather than maintaining the older removable uplink assembly.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-X supports MACsec encryption on host-facing ports with a payload-encryption image. Uplink MACsec requires C3KX-SM-10G, which is supported with IP Base or IP Services. Authentication and key management must be configured; an ordinary uplink module does not provide the same uplink encryption functions.
