WS-C3560X-48U-E combines 48 Gigabit UPOE access ports with the IP Services feature set in a standalone Layer 3 enterprise access switch. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X family and serves powered endpoints requiring more than conventional PoE+ output. Its base configuration has an empty uplink bay: C3KX-NM-1G provides Gigabit fiber connectivity, C3KX-NM-10G and C3KX-SM-10G provide 10G fiber options, and C3KX-NM-10GT provides 10G copper connectivity. Within the discontinued family, WS-C3560X-48PF-E supplies PoE+ rather than UPOE. This standalone Gigabit access configuration separates endpoint connectivity from the selected uplink architecture, so the chassis part number alone does not establish the installed uplink interfaces.

160 Gbps switching capacity establishes the switching-fabric ceiling. 101.2 Mpps forwarding applies to the configuration with two 10GbE uplinks, rather than implying those interfaces are installed in the base chassis. 800W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocations to stay within the installed supply's budget. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support advanced IPv4 routing under IP Services; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. WS-C3560X-48U-E uses 256 MB DRAM and 64 MB flash for its operating software and stored files. Resource allocation changes with the selected configuration template: 11000 unicast routes are available with the routing template, while 12000 MAC entries belong to the VLAN template, not the same simultaneous allocation. Browser-based administration, the CLI and SNMP provide management paths. A reference draw of 125.99W at full traffic with C3KX-NM-10G excludes PoE loading and must not be treated as the complete powered-endpoint circuit requirement. Uplink expansion stops at 10G.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-48U-E new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty; 30-day returns apply to every condition, subject to terms. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed links on every port and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, accessories and quantities on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted with Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a multi-building enterprise campus deploying Wi-Fi 6 access points, the WS-C3560X-48U-E delivers 48 UPOE ports with a 740W PoE budget and leverages IP Services (QoS, Multicast, Flexible NetFlow) to optimize traffic flows. Benefit: Simplified topology, 99.999% uptime via StackWise Plus redundancy, and scalable support for 10,000+ concurrent users.
In a modern hospital environment, the Catalyst 3560X 48 Port UPOE powers IP cameras, badge readers and patient-monitoring devices while enforcing Private VLANs and Cisco TrustSec for segmented, HIPAA-compliant zones. Benefit: Sub-millisecond telemetry, centralized policy enforcement, and audit-ready security for critical care systems.
In a large retail distribution hub, the WS-C3560X-48U-E consolidates PoE-powered POS terminals, wireless scanners and HD surveillance cameras on a single switch using IP Services for dynamic VLAN assignment, advanced QoS and resilient stacking. Benefit: Real-time transaction integrity, proactive security monitoring and reduced cabling and operational costs.
When departmental or tenant networks require separate routing contexts within an existing access design, VRF-Lite supports overlapping IP addresses under IP Services. Confirm the required routing contexts, segmentation plan and permanent license activation before issuing the purchase order, rather than treating baseline routed access as an equivalent configuration.
When one hardware specification must serve sites with different mains connectors, make cord selection part of each regional order. CAB-3KX-AC= is the North American cord and CAB-3KX-AC-UK= is the United Kingdom cord. Specify the correct cord PID and quantity for each destination before the PO.
When a staging bench must reproduce an existing network before a change window, 9216-byte jumbo-frame support provides a specific setting to validate against adjacent equipment. Include the intended frame size, interface configuration and acceptance checks in the staging plan, then specify the required test configuration before the PO.
Hardware covered by ongoing Cisco support
Cisco support for this model ended October 31, 2021. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is the current migration endpoint, with four 10G uplinks and Network Advantage rather than IP Services.
Forty-eight simultaneous full-power UPOE endpoints
The maximum 1800W UPOE budget supports 30 endpoints at 60W each, not all 48 ports at that output. The remaining powered devices require lower allocations.
10G copper speed on access ports
The fixed copper access ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps. C3KX-NM-10GT adds two 10G copper uplinks but does not upgrade the access ports to 10G.
Hardware stacking with existing switch members
WS-C3560X-48U-E operates as a standalone switch and cannot join a hardware switch stack. Management clustering does not create a shared switching fabric or stacking bandwidth.

WS-C3560X-48U-E identifies a standalone Catalyst 3560-X switch: WS-C3560X is the hardware-family prefix, 48 indicates 48 access ports, U indicates UPOE, and E indicates IP Services. The configuration includes Gigabit copper access ports and a C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supply; the part number does not include an installed uplink module.
WS-C3560X-48U-E is managed through the browser-based device manager, the Cisco IOS CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks LMS and SNMP. The device manager handles individual-switch tasks; creating and managing switch clusters requires the CLI or Cisco Network Assistant instead.
WS-C3560X-48U-E is discontinued: end of sale was October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. Software maintenance ended October 30, 2017, and vulnerability/security support ended October 30, 2019. Resale availability does not restart these milestones or restore Cisco service eligibility.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-48U-E new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty, plus 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty ended October 31, 2021. Refurbished units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified and wiped to factory default.
WS-C3560X-48U-E carries IP Services as its factory feature set; LAN Base and IP Base are lower Catalyst 3560-X tiers. Universal Cisco IOS images accept permanent and temporary licenses. Permanent activation has no minimum subscription term; confirm permanent IP Services activation rather than temporary license status before ordering.
WS-C3560X-48U-E provides an 800W shared budget with its standard C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supply and supports UPOE output reaching 60W per port. Two C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supplies increase the budget to 1800W, supporting 30 full-power UPOE connections. All 48 ports cannot simultaneously receive the maximum UPOE allocation.
WS-C3560X-48U-E accepts C3KX-NM-1G, C3KX-NM-10G, C3KX-NM-10GT and C3KX-SM-10G, but the base configuration includes no uplink module. C3KX-NM-1G provides four Gigabit uplinks; the other choices provide two 10G uplinks using fiber or copper interfaces. Specify the module, intended interface combination and any required optics separately.
WS-C3560X-48U-E supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 under IP Services, plus OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 for IPv6. PBR and PIM-SM/PIM-DM multicast routing also belong to this tier. The routing template supports 11000 total unicast routes; that figure includes directly connected hosts and indirect routes.
No, Catalyst 3560-X switches operate as standalone units rather than hardware stack members. Cisco Network Assistant or the CLI can configure management clusters, but these do not provide a shared switching fabric or stacking bandwidth. Specify individual switches for standalone operation, not as extensions to an existing hardware stack.
WS-C3560X-48U-E provides 60W UPOE per port, whereas WS-C3560X-48PF-E provides 30W PoE+ per port; both models are discontinued. UPOE capability suits legacy high-draw endpoints, while the PoE+ variant fits legacy phones and access points requiring no more than 30W. Shared supply budgets still constrain the connected endpoint mix.
WS-C3560X-48U-E includes IP Services, while WS-C3560X-48U-S includes IP Base; both models are discontinued. IP Services adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 beyond baseline routed-access functionality. The E model suits legacy advanced-routing requirements; the S model suits existing installations standardized on the IP Base feature set.
C9300L-48PF-4X-A offers four 10G uplinks, whereas WS-C3560X-48U-E supports two 10G uplinks with a separately selected module. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is the current migration endpoint after discontinued WS-C3650-48FD-E. Legacy UPOE sparing favors retaining the original configuration; new uplink-density requirements favor the successor, with endpoint power requirements checked separately.
