WS-C3560X-48U-L is a managed 48-port Gigabit UPOE access switch for enterprise networks. Its copper downlinks support compatible powered endpoints, while the LAN Base image provides Layer 2 switching and limited static routing, making the as-shipped configuration Layer 2+. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3560-X series. Uplink connectivity requires a separately selected C3KX-NM-1G for four 1G SFP ports, C3KX-NM-10G for two 10G SFP+ ports, or C3KX-NM-10GT for two 10G copper ports; the base configuration includes no uplink card. UPOE accommodates compatible high-draw devices alongside PoE and PoE+ endpoints. The discontinued WS-C3560X-48PF-L differs by providing PoE+ rather than UPOE. Physical switch stacking is not supported, so additional chassis remain separate switches.

160 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for access traffic. 101.2 Mpps forwarding performance applies to the configuration with two 10G uplinks, so the selected uplink hardware matters when specifying that performance. 16 static routes permit limited routed connectivity without implying a dynamic-routing license. 800W of shared endpoint power requires allocation across the powered ports rather than simultaneous maximum output everywhere. WS-C3560X-48U-L provides 256 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of flash for its control software and stored image. The default allocation supports 6000 learned MAC addresses; changing the allocation template changes address-learning scale. 141.83W consumption with C3KX-NM-10GT at 100% test traffic excludes PoE loading, so that figure is not a fully powered installation maximum. Two C3KX-FAN-23CFM= modules contain four fans for chassis cooling. USB and RJ-45 console access support local staging before remote management is configured. Dynamic routing is absent from the included feature set.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3560X-48U-L new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed linking on every port, clean boot, PoE output under load on every powered port, module bay recognition, PSU status and fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and required accessories on your PO. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished units up to 1 year; every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply, while Cisco's enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended October 31, 2021. POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement supports enterprise and volume orders.

In a 1,500-user corporate HQ, the WS-C3560X-48U-L Catalyst 3560X 48 Port UPOE LAN Base powers and manages 48 IP phones, 30 wireless APs and 20 meeting-room video endpoints over a single Gigabit Ethernet fabric. Outcome: centralized PoE+ and UPOE delivery reduces cabling complexity, guarantees 60 W per port for advanced UC devices and enables seamless voice/video traffic segmentation for enhanced resilience and simplified operations.
On a multi-building university campus, the WS-C3560X-48U-L aggregates 40 Wi-Fi 6 access points at 1 Gbps uplinks with UPOE support for remote AP power redundancy. Outcome: consistent high-density wireless coverage, automated VLAN-based user segmentation and Power over Ethernet failover ensure 24/7 connectivity for students and faculty, while reducing OPEX and accelerating network provisioning.
In a 200,000 sq ft smart factory, the WS-C3560X-48U-L delivers unified PoE to 45 HD security cameras, 15 environmental sensors and 10 mobile robots, all managed via LAN Base features. Outcome: real-time video analytics, predictive maintenance data and automated device orchestration run over a single resilient switch infrastructure—boosting floor-wide safety, lowering energy consumption and streamlining industrial IoT deployments.
When endpoint groups are consolidated onto existing copper cabling, channel length becomes an ordering check rather than a port-count question. Copper Ethernet links are limited to 100 m. Verify the installed cable category and longest channel, then specify the associated patching before the PO.
When a replacement must inherit an established VLAN plan, validate the intended configuration before releasing hardware to the site. LAN Base permits 255 VLANs, so configuration scale remains a software-tier constraint. Compare the VLAN inventory with that limit and specify the required entitlement before the PO.
When multiple sites require like-for-like spares, separate regional stock planning from the hardware configuration on each order. ORM Systems provides regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Specify the destination region, condition and spare quantity together before releasing the PO.
Full dynamic routing with LAN Base
LAN Base supports 16 static routes, not full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 or IS-ISv4. Full support for those protocols requires IP Services rather than the included software tier.
Physical switch stacking
WS-C3560X-48U-L operates as a standalone switch without physical switch-stacking support. Additional cables or software entitlements cannot turn this chassis into a physical stack member.
Continuing Cisco hardware support
Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. The current successor is C9300L-48PF-4X-E, with 48 Full PoE ports and four 10G uplinks; revalidate endpoint power compatibility before migration.
NEBS-compliant UPOE installations
WS-C3560X-48U-L is excluded from NEBS support despite the broader family containing NEBS-compatible models. Do not specify this UPOE variant for an order requiring NEBS compliance.

WS-C3560X-48U-L identifies a Catalyst 3560-X switch: WS-C3560X is the family prefix, 48 denotes the access-port count, U denotes UPOE, and L denotes LAN Base. The configuration includes Gigabit copper ports and C3KX-PWR-1100WAC. Uplink connectivity is selected separately rather than encoded as an uplink-speed segment in this PID.
The Catalyst 3560-X series supports the web-based device manager, Cisco IOS CLI through console, Telnet or SSH, Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks and SNMP network management. SSH and encrypted SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image. Specify management access and image requirements before staging credentials and configuration.
WS-C3560X-48U-L is discontinued: end of sale was October 30, 2016, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2021. New sealed inventory does not change those milestones. Treat an order as a legacy hardware purchase and specify the condition, accessory configuration and ongoing support arrangements explicitly.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3560X-48U-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original enhanced limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended October 31, 2021.
Catalyst 3560-X supports LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services feature sets through Cisco IOS Software activation; WS-C3560X-48U-L includes LAN Base. IP Base adds baseline Layer 3 services, while IP Services adds advanced routing. Verify the installed license file and required feature set before accepting a unit for staging.
The 48-port Catalyst 3560-X UPOE switch provides an 800W shared budget with one C3KX-PWR-1100WAC, rising to 1800W with two C3KX-PWR-1100WAC supplies. UPOE permits 60W per port, but the dual-supply budget supports 30 such connections, not 48 at maximum draw. Allocate endpoint loads before specifying the supply quantity.
WS-C3560X-48U-L accepts C3KX-NM-1G for four 1G SFP uplinks, C3KX-NM-10G for two 10G SFP+ uplinks, or C3KX-NM-10GT for two 10GBASE-T uplinks. No uplink card is included. For 10G multimode fiber, SFP-10G-SR= is a compatible separately ordered transceiver; select optics for the actual fiber connection.
WS-C3560X-48U-L supports 60W UPOE per port, whereas WS-C3560X-48PF-L supports 30W PoE+ per port. Both models are discontinued, so this comparison concerns legacy replacement inventory. The UPOE model addresses higher-draw compatible endpoints; the PoE+ variant matches endpoints whose power requirements remain within its lower per-port limit.
WS-C3560X-48U-L includes LAN Base, while WS-C3560X-48U-S includes IP Base with baseline Layer 3 services. Both models are discontinued. LAN Base suits legacy switching with limited static routing; IP Base suits legacy deployments requiring the routed-access feature set, subject to verification of the installed software entitlement.
C9300L-48PF-4X-E includes four fixed 10G uplinks, while WS-C3560X-48U-L requires a separately selected uplink module. The migration chain passes through discontinued WS-C3650-48FD-L before reaching C9300L-48PF-4X-E. The discontinued original suits matching an existing modular-uplink installation; the current successor suits buyers requiring fixed 10G uplinks.
