Cisco’s WS-C3560CX-12PD-S Catalyst Compact Switch offers several advantages for businesses requiring reliable, secure, and high-performance networking solutions. With its 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 240W PoE budget, the switch can power various devices, such as IP cameras and phones, without additional cabling or power sources, saving both space and installation costs.
The inclusion of both copper and 10G SFP+ uplink interfaces provides versatility in network design, enabling high-speed connectivity for data centers, enterprises, and small to mid-sized business operations. This ensures not only current network efficiency but also scalability for future growth.
Security is paramount in modern networking, and the WS-C3560CX-12PD-S comes equipped with advanced security features to protect sensitive data. It supports comprehensive network security protocols and features such as IEEE 802.1x, port security, and access control lists (ACLs), helping to safeguard your network from unauthorized access.
Additionally, this Catalyst Compact Switch stands out for its fan-less design, making it a perfect choice for noise-sensitive environments like open office spaces, hospitals, and classrooms. The absence of fans not only reduces noise pollution but also contributes to lower energy consumption and fewer mechanical failures.
Its compact form factor enables flexible deployment options. The switch can be placed on a desktop, mounted on a wall, or tucked into a wiring closet, accommodating various installation scenarios and reducing cable clutter.
The IP Base feature set equipped on this model provides essential Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 routing features, offering ease of use and efficient network traffic management. Together with Cisco’s reputation for reliability and excellent customer support, the WS-C3560CX-12PD-S presents an investment that promises security, flexibility, and lower total cost of ownership over its lifespan.
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX series WS-3560CX-12PD-S Gigabit Ethernet managed switches with quiet, fan-less design and compact footprint delivers flexible mounting options and shorter cable runs to eliminate the needs for expensive and inflexible cabling infrastructure.
