WS-C3560X-48T-S is a standalone 48-port Gigabit data switch for Layer 3 enterprise access, with a modular uplink bay and IP Base. The base configuration has no installed uplink module; supported options add 1G SFP, 10G SFP+ or 10GBASE-T connections. Its 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X Series and connects independently powered wired endpoints. Unlike the discontinued WS-C3560X-48P-S PoE+ sibling, this model does not supply endpoint power. Host-facing MACsec provides hardware-based link encryption, while port-based access controls govern endpoint connectivity. A dedicated Ethernet management interface separates administrative access from data ports, and USB Type-B or RJ-45 console access supports local configuration.
WS-C3560X-48T-S price for new stock is $996.45, a 88.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $8,600.00. WS-C3560X-48T-S refurb price is $224.07. WS-C3560X-48T-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for local traffic, and 101.2 Mpps forwarding applies when two 10GbE uplinks are fitted. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access support the included network tier; full EIGRP, BGPv4, IS-ISv4 and PBR require IP Services. WS-C3560X-48T-S has 256 MB of DRAM for control-plane operation and 64 MB of flash for software storage. The routing SDM template supports 11000 total unicast entries, including directly connected hosts and indirect routes; changing templates also changes MAC-address capacity. LACP groups compatible Ethernet links, while RSTP/MSTP control redundant Layer 2 paths. Eight egress queues per port separate traffic classes, with four user configurable and four reserved for system use. DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard address spoofing-related access threats.
WS-C3560X-48T-S is offered new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, module bay recognition, PSU status and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on your PO; Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended October 31, 2021. ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and maintains regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a multi-floor corporate headquarters, IT deploys the WS-C3560X-48T-S Catalyst 3560X 48-port IP Base switch as the primary access layer to connect 48 desktops, VoIP phones, and wireless APs at wire-speed. Leveraging StackWise-Plus for non-stop expansion and advanced QoS for voice/video prioritization, the solution delivers seamless campus-wide growth, consistent application performance, and centralized management with Cisco IOS IP Base.
A regional branch office integrates IP telephony and Wi-Fi services by installing the WS-C3560X-48T-S to power up to 48 PoE endpoints—IP phones and access points—without extra midspans. Combined with layer-3 routing, ACL-based security, and energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE), the deployment yields simplified cabling, guaranteed voice quality, and up to 40% lower power consumption within a single, resilient switch.
A mid-sized enterprise relies on the WS-C3560X-48T-S Catalyst 3560X as its core switch to aggregate server and desktop traffic. Utilizing static and dynamic routing, enhanced security features (802.1X, RADIUS), and dual redundant power options, the switch ensures deterministic packet delivery, granular user access control, and 99.999% uptime—empowering the business with uninterrupted data flow and robust network segmentation.
When replacing WS-C3560G-48TS-S, WS-C3560E-48TD-S or WS-C3560E-48TD-SD in a retained installation, the 3560-X model is their historical migration target, not a return to current Cisco support. Those predecessor models reached end-of-sale January 30, 2013. Confirm that the refresh scope permits another discontinued switch before issuing the PO.
When staging flow-monitoring configurations for a lab, C3KX-SM-10G adds dedicated Flexible NetFlow hardware under IP Base. The service module supports 32000 simultaneous flows and 128 active monitors. Specify C3KX-SM-10G, its optical connections and the intended monitoring configuration before ordering the hardware for the test environment.
When standardizing replacement hardware across regional sites, accessory completeness matters alongside the chassis. C3KX-RACK-KIT= provides rack-mount hardware, while CAB-3KX-AC= and CAB-3KX-AC-UK= identify North American and UK power cords. Specify the mounting kit and each site's regional power-cord PID on the purchase order.
Endpoint power over Ethernet
WS-C3560X-48T-S does not supply PoE. C9300L-48P-4X-A is a current PoE-capable migration alternative, retaining 48 data ports but using four fixed 10G uplinks rather than an optional module.
Physical switch stacking
WS-C3560X-48T-S operates standalone and cannot join a hardware stack. The current Catalyst 9300L series supports physical stacking; specify a stack-capable model rather than stacking accessories for this chassis.
Advanced routing without license changes
IP Base excludes BGPv4, full EIGRP, IS-ISv4, full OSPF and PBR. These functions require IP Services rather than the network license included with this part number.

Solid data focused access layer switch.
WS-C3560X-48T-S identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X switch: WS-C3560X is the family identifier, 48 is the access-port count, T denotes 10/100/1000 data ports and S selects IP Base. No uplink-speed segment appears because uplinks use an optional network module rather than fixed ports built into the chassis.
Catalyst 3560-X supports the Cisco IOS CLI through console access or SSH/Telnet, SNMPv1/SNMPv2c/SNMPv3, PC-based configuration tools and CiscoWorks LMS. USB Type-B and RJ-45 console connections provide local access, while a dedicated Ethernet management port supports out-of-band administration. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image.
WS-C3560X-48T-S reached end-of-sale on October 30, 2016, and Cisco hardware support ended October 31, 2021. Its direct replacement, WS-C3650-48TD-S, is also discontinued and reaches last support on October 31, 2026. C9300L-48T-4X-A is the current migration target at the end of that replacement chain.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-48T-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions carry 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty and Cisco service ended October 31, 2021; ORM coverage is separate from that ended manufacturer warranty.
WS-C3560X-48T-S includes IP Base enabled through Cisco IOS Software Activation. The family offers LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services feature sets, with license-file activation controlling the enabled functions. C3560X-48-S-E and L-C3560X-48-S-E identify the paper and electronic IP Services upgrade paths for the 48-port IP Base model.
WS-C3560X-48T-S replaces WS-C3560G-48TS-S, WS-C3560E-48TD-S and WS-C3560E-48TD-SD, whose end-of-sale date was January 30, 2013. These are historical migration relationships, not indications of current Cisco support. The replacement itself is discontinued, so a retained-installation purchase needs to distinguish compatibility requirements from a move to currently supported hardware.
WS-C3560X-48T-S accepts C3KX-NM-1G for four 1G SFP uplinks, C3KX-NM-10G for two 10G SFP+ uplinks, C3KX-NM-10GT for two 10GBASE-T uplinks, or C3KX-SM-10G for two 10G SFP+ service uplinks. The base configuration includes no network module. Specify the module and compatible transceivers separately rather than assuming optical ports ship installed.
WS-C3560X-48T-S ships with one C3KX-PWR-350WAC, leaving the second internal power-supply position available for an optional supply. C3KX-PWR-350WAC= is the matching AC spare, while C3KX-PWR-440WDC= is an optional DC supply. A single installed supply belongs in bay 1; internal redundancy requires purchasing and installing the second supply.
WS-C3560X-48T-S supports Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access under IP Base. Full OSPF, full EIGRP, BGPv4, IS-ISv4 and PBR require IP Services. The routing SDM template supports 11000 total unicast entries, including directly connected hosts and indirect routes rather than indirect routes alone.
No, WS-C3560X-48T-S is a standalone switch and does not support physical stacking. StackWise Plus and StackPower are not capabilities of the Catalyst 3560-X chassis. Plan each chassis as a separate forwarding unit rather than adding a stacking kit to the order; an uplink module does not create a stacking interface.
WS-C3560X-48T-S is non-PoE, while WS-C3560X-48P-S supplies PoE+ with a shared 435W budget using its default C3KX-PWR-715WAC. Both models are discontinued. The data model serves independently powered endpoints; the PoE+ variant serves powered endpoints whose combined load must be checked against the installed supply configuration's available budget.
WS-C3560X-48T-S includes IP Base for routed access, whereas WS-C3560X-48T-L includes LAN Base with Layer 2 services and 16 static routes. Both models are discontinued. IP Base serves configurations needing OSPF for routed access or EIGRP Stub; LAN Base serves switching configurations whose routing requirement stays within its static-routing limit.
C9300L-48T-4X-A has four fixed 10G uplinks, while WS-C3560X-48T-S uses an optional uplink module and ships without one. The former is the current migration target after the discontinued WS-C3650-48TD-S. The newer model serves buyers specifying fixed uplinks; the older model serves retained installations requiring its modular uplink architecture.
Catalyst 3560-X provides host-facing MACsec, port security, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard for access connections. Port-based ACLs filter individual interfaces, while authentication controls govern endpoint admission. MACsec on network uplinks requires C3KX-SM-10G; an ordinary uplink module does not provide that service-module encryption capability.
WS-C3560X-48T-S provides 160 Gbps switching capacity and a 101.2 Mpps forwarding rate when configured with two 10GbE uplinks. The forwarding figure describes that equipped configuration, not an uplink module included with the base chassis. Its control-plane resources comprise 256 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash.
