Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560-12PC-S is a Refurbished fixed-configuration managed switch built for enterprise access layer and small-to-medium business deployments where Power over Ethernet (PoE) is essential. With 12 10/100 Fast Ethernet PoE ports, this switch can power connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras directly through the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and simplifying cable management.Running the Catalyst Standard Multilayer Software Image (SMI), the WS-C3560-12PC-S provides a solid feature set including VLAN support, Spanning Tree Protocol, QoS, and basic Layer 3 routing capabilities. Its compact form factor makes it well suited for wiring closets, branch offices, or distributed enterprise environments where rack space is at a premium.
As a Refurbished unit sourced and tested by WhaleyComm, this switch undergoes inspection to ensure it meets functional performance standards, offering a reliable and budget-conscious alternative to new hardware without sacrificing the Cisco quality your network demands. Whether you are expanding an existing Cisco infrastructure or building out a new access layer on a controlled budget, the WS-C3560-12PC-S delivers proven performance and manageability. Its compatibility with Cisco network management tools further streamlines monitoring and configuration across your environment.

Ideal Use Cases
Branch Office Access Layer
Deploy the WS-C3560-12PC-S as an access layer switch in branch offices where a limited number of PoE-capable ports are needed. It reliably powers IP phones and wireless access points while keeping infrastructure costs manageable.
IP Telephony Deployments
The 12 PoE ports make this switch an ideal choice for small Cisco IP telephony environments, delivering both data connectivity and inline power to desk phones from a single cable. QoS features help prioritize voice traffic to maintain call quality across the network.
Physical Security and Surveillance
Power and connect IP cameras and access control devices directly through the switch's PoE ports, simplifying installation in locations where dedicated power outlets are limited. The managed feature set allows network segmentation via VLANs to isolate security traffic from general data traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The SMI (Standard Multilayer Software Image) included with the WS-C3560-12PC-S provides essential Layer 2 switching and basic Layer 3 static routing features. The EMI (Enhanced Multilayer Software Image) adds advanced dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP; upgrading to EMI may be possible depending on the IOS version available [Verify EMI upgrade eligibility before purchase if advanced routing is required].
Yes, the WS-C3560-12PC-S provides PoE capability on all 12 of its Fast Ethernet ports, conforming to the IEEE 802.3af standard. This allows you to power compatible IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras directly through the Ethernet connection.
A Refurbished designation means the unit has been previously used and has undergone inspection and functional testing by WhaleyComm prior to resale. Each unit is evaluated to confirm it powers on and operates as expected, and it is backed by our 90-day warranty for added peace of mind.
Yes, the WS-C3560-12PC-S supports remote management via SSH, Telnet, and SNMP, as well as a web-based interface. It is also compatible with Cisco network management platforms, allowing centralized configuration and monitoring within an existing Cisco-managed environment.
