WS-C3560X-48T-L provides standalone, managed Layer 2+ access switching through 48 copper 10/100/1000 ports without endpoint power. The Catalyst 3560-X combines a full-width 1U chassis with a modular uplink bay rather than built-in fiber uplinks. LAN Base is the installed Cisco IOS feature set, with limited static routing rather than the dynamic routing available under higher software tiers. Locally powered desktops and other Ethernet devices connect through the fixed downlinks, while the uplink arrangement is selected independently. The discontinued WS-C3560X-48P-L adds PoE+ for powered endpoints. This 48-port Gigabit access switch does not provide hardware stacking.
WS-C3560X-48T-L price for new stock is $2,470.65, a 64.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $7,000.00. WS-C3560X-48T-L refurb price is $199.50. WS-C3560X-48T-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for local traffic forwarding. 101.2 Mpps forwarding applies to the configuration with two 10GbE uplinks, not an assertion that an uplink module ships installed. Static routing supports 16 user-configured routes on SVIs with the default SDM template and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE or later. WS-C3560X-48T-L carries 256 MB DRAM for runtime operation and 64 MB flash for software and configuration storage. RSTP/MSTP manage spanning-tree operation, while LACP groups Ethernet links. Browser-based Device Manager, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS, SNMP and the CLI provide management paths. 126W consumption at full traffic with C3KX-NM-10G installed provides a configuration-specific planning reference at 115V AC; module selection changes consumption.
WS-C3560X-48T-L is offered new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty, with 30-day returns on every condition, subject to terms; Cisco's hardware warranty support ended October 31, 2021. Certified refurbished managed units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and module bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, uplink module PID and required software entitlement on the purchase order. PO acceptance and Net-30 for government apply to enterprise orders; include quantities and accessory PIDs together for volume purchasing.

In a large enterprise campus, the WS-C3560X-48T-L Catalyst 3560X 48 Port Data LAN Base delivers 48 wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet ports to aggregate high-density desktop traffic. Built-in QoS and ACL enforcement optimizes VoIP and video conferencing, while Energy-Efficient Ethernet reduces power draw by 20%. Outcome: simplified closet consolidation, predictable application performance, and 30% lower operational costs.
A retail chain deploys 40+ IP cameras per location with DSCP-aware traffic prioritization on the WS-C3560X-48T-L Catalyst 3560X 48 Port LAN Base switch. Role-based SSH/TACACS+ access control and port security isolate each camera VLAN, ensuring low-latency video streams. Outcome: enhanced situational awareness, tamper-resistant connectivity, and streamlined compliance reporting.
A multi-site organization uses two WS-C3560X-48T-L switches joined via Cisco StackWise-Plus to form a single logical unit at each remote office. Combined with LAN Base Layer-2 services and redundant uplinks, this setup delivers sub-millisecond failover and unified management through a single IP address. Outcome: 99.999% network availability, zero-touch scaling, and reduced branch-IT support overhead.
When a staging network needs to exercise larger Ethernet frames before equipment enters service, the switch supports 9216-byte jumbo frames. Keep the test topology and endpoint frame settings explicit rather than assuming every connected device accepts the same size. Specify the required frame-size configuration before the purchase order.
When an installed estate needs replacement inventory across regions, ORM Systems supports stock and RMA handling in the UK, EU, US and MEA. RMA with advance replacement is available. Identify the destination region, required condition and replacement quantity before the purchase order so the requested spare matches the installed equipment.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C3560X-48T-L supplies no endpoint power. C9300L-48P-4X-E provides 48 PoE+ access ports and fixed 10G uplinks, rather than the modular uplink arrangement on this switch.
Hardware stacking across access switches
WS-C3560X-48T-L operates as a standalone switch without hardware stacking. C9300L-48T-4X-E supports StackWise-320 and changes the uplink arrangement to four fixed 10G SFP+ ports.
Continuing Cisco service and security support
Cisco service ended October 31, 2021, following security support ending October 30, 2019. The current migration model is C9300L-48T-4X-E; specify service entitlement separately.

WS-C3560X-48T-L identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X switch: WS-C3560X identifies the model family, 48 indicates the access-port count, T identifies 10/100/1000 Ethernet data ports without PoE, and L identifies LAN Base. The configuration includes a C3KX-PWR-350WAC power supply and a separately populated uplink bay.
WS-C3560X-48T-L supports browser-based Device Manager, Cisco IOS CLI over SSH or Telnet, local RJ-45 or USB console access, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS and SNMP management. A dedicated Ethernet management port provides another connection path. SSH requires the appropriate cryptographic software image.
Yes, WS-C3560X-48T-L reached end of sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended on October 31, 2021. Software maintenance ended October 30, 2017, and vulnerability support ended October 30, 2019. Purchasing remaining hardware does not restart Cisco service or extend those milestones.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-48T-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested. Cisco's original Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and Cisco service ended October 31, 2021.
WS-C3560X-48T-L ships with LAN Base and supports node-locked activation or permanent right-to-use licensing for software feature sets. The available tiers are LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services. Right-to-use licensing requires Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE1 or later, and permanent right-to-use licenses have no minimum subscription term.
WS-C3560X-48T-L accepts C3KX-NM-1G for four 1G SFP interfaces, C3KX-NM-10G for two 10G SFP+ interfaces or four 1G SFP interfaces, and C3KX-NM-10GT for two copper 10G interfaces. The base configuration excludes an uplink module. Fiber configurations also require compatible transceivers selected for the chosen interfaces.
Yes, the Catalyst 3560-X LAN Base configuration supports 16 user-configured static routes on SVIs with the default SDM template, beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE. The routing SDM template is unavailable under LAN Base. Dynamic routing requires a higher software tier rather than additional Ethernet hardware.
No, WS-C3560X-48T-L ships with one C3KX-PWR-350WAC supply and a C3KX-PS-BLANK= in the second power bay. A second C3KX-PWR-350WAC= can provide internal redundancy. Both bays must contain a power supply or the C3KX-PS-BLANK= for proper cooling; an uncovered second bay is not an operating configuration.
No, Catalyst 3560-X switches operate as standalone switches and do not provide hardware stacking. Centralized management through Cisco Network Assistant does not change that hardware limitation. Each chassis retains its own forwarding system and uplink connections, so a purchase requiring a hardware stack needs a different switch family.
WS-C3560X-48P-L supplies PoE+ through its access ports, while WS-C3560X-48T-L provides Ethernet data connections without endpoint power. Both models are discontinued. The data-only model suits replacement of an installed non-PoE configuration; the PoE+ model suits an installed configuration whose connected endpoints depend on switch-delivered power.
WS-C3560X-48T-L carries LAN Base, while WS-C3560X-48T-S carries IP Base with routed-access OSPF support. Both models are discontinued. LAN Base suits an installed configuration using switching and limited static routing; IP Base suits replacement of an installed configuration that needs its higher routed-access software entitlement.
C9300L-48T-4X-E includes four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, while WS-C3560X-48T-L uses a separately ordered modular uplink arrangement. The current successor is reached through the also-discontinued WS-C3650-48TD-L. The older chassis suits installed-system replacement; C9300L-48T-4X-E suits a purchase requiring the current migration model with fixed uplinks.
