Cisco Catalyst 3560CX-12PC-S - Managed PoE+ Switch, White

The Cisco Catalyst 3560CX-12PC-S managed PoE+ switch features 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two combo SFP uplinks. As a Layer 2/3 device, it is designed for edge-of-network connectivity and power distribution. The 12 Gigabit RJ-45 ports support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), allowing the switch to power devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. With a switching capacity of 32 Gbit/s and a forwarding rate of 23.8 Mpps, the switch maintains throughput during high-traffic periods. The two combo SFP slots allow for either fiber or copper uplink connections to the core network.

The switch features a compact 1U form factor suitable for 19-inch rack mounting or wall mounting in spaces without a dedicated server room. Its total PoE budget is 240 W, with each port supporting up to 30 W for single-cable device power. Security features include 802.1x RADIUS authentication and integrated ARP inspection. Traffic stability is managed through Spanning Tree Protocol and link aggregation. The unit has a typical power consumption of 26.3 W.
