Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX - Managed 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Switch, White

The Cisco Catalyst is a Layer 3 switch designed to segment corporate LANs and power peripheral hardware. It features eight Gigabit RJ-45 ports and a total switching capacity of 32 Gbit/s to maintain stable data transfers. With a forwarding rate of 17.9 Mpps, the switch handles high-traffic loads without bottlenecks. Two combo SFP ports provide fiber-optic uplink connections for network expansion. The unit integrates into existing infrastructures to manage simultaneous, full-bandwidth traffic.

The metal chassis can be rack- or wall-mounted to suit available space. Its 240 W PoE+ budget, distributed across all RJ-45 ports, powers endpoints such as wireless access points or IP cameras. Typical power consumption is 24.4 W. Measuring 269 × 238 × 44.4 mm and weighing 2270 g, the switch is compact enough for small networking closets. Traffic prioritization and security are managed via built-in Access Control List (ACL) configurations and Quality of Service (QoS) protocols.
