The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560CX-12PC-S is a Refurbished enterprise-class compact switch engineered for organizations that demand reliable PoE+ connectivity without sacrificing rack space or budget. Featuring 12 downlink Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, this switch is capable of powering a wide range of IEEE 802.3at-compliant devices including IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras directly through the network cable—eliminating the need for separate power injectors or adapters.The compact CX design makes it an ideal fit for space-constrained environments such as branch offices, retail locations, classrooms, and top-of-rack deployments where a full-sized chassis simply isn't practical. SFP uplink slots provide flexible fiber or copper connectivity options for connecting to distribution or core switches, helping future-proof your network infrastructure.
Running Cisco's IP Base software image, the 3560CX-12PC-S supports essential switching features including VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), QoS prioritization, and basic static routing capabilities. Cisco's intuitive IOS command-line interface ensures straightforward configuration and management for IT teams already familiar with the Cisco ecosystem.
Sourced and tested by WhaleyComm, this Refurbished unit undergoes inspection to ensure reliable, production-ready performance—making it an excellent choice for IT managers looking to stretch their hardware budget without compromising network quality. At $189.00, it delivers proven Cisco Catalyst reliability at a fraction of new pricing.
