Compact Switches

The Cisco

Catalyst

Compact Switches easily expand your Ethernet and Multigigabit

Ethernet infrastructure outside the wiring closet to enable new workspaces, extend

wireless LANs, and connect PoE devices. These fanless, small form-factor switches

are ideal for space-constrained deployments where multiple cable runs would be

challenging. With speeds that reach 10Gbps, the Cisco Catalyst 3560CX Multigigabit

Ethernet Switches support current and next-generation wireless speeds and

standards (including 802.11ac Wave 2) on existing cabling infrastructure.

Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX Switch Family.

Product Overview

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX Series Compact Switches help optimize network deployments. These

Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and Multigigabit Ethernet (mGig) managed switches are ideal for high-speed data

connectivity, Wi-Fi backhaul, and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) connectivity in places where space is at a premium.

With a single copper or fiber cable from the wiring closet, Cisco Catalyst compact switches enable IP connectivity

for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, PCs, and video endpoints.

With their quiet, fanless design and compact footprint, these switches can come out of the data closet and be

placed closer to the users. This means shorter cable runs and greater flexibility as you grow your network.

Feature Benefits PoE pass-through PoE pass-through gives the ability to power PoE end devices through drawing Cisco UPOE from the wiring closet. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560CX-8PT-S has eight downlink ports with two Cisco UPOE input ports that allow it to be powered by another switch. These switches do not need a power supply and receive power over the uplink from an upstream PoE or Cisco UPOE device, providing deployment flexibility and availability.

Feature Benefits Threat Defense Advanced, integrated security features that provide threat defense capabilities for mitigating man-in-the-middle attacks and protecting your critical network infrastructure. ● Superior Layer 2 capabilities for mitigating MAC, IP, and ARP spoofing risks. Also protects port security, guards against DHCP snooping, and supports Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard. ● Ipv6 first-hop security with Binding Integrity Guard, RA Guard, and DHCP Guard.
