Cisco Systems WS-C3560CX-12TC-S Catalyst Switch

The Cisco WS-C3560CX-12TC-S Catalyst Switch is a compact Catalyst 3560-CX series edge switch that provides 12 10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink ports plus flexible uplink options for small to mid-size networks. It has 12 downlink ports for end devices, and two 1 Gigabit copper uplink ports alongside two 1G SFP uplink slots, allowing connections to the distribution or core layer over copper or fiber. This model runs the IP Base software image and is a non-PoE unit, making it suitable for non-PoE endpoints and office deployments where space is limited. The device supports common Cisco access-layer features accessible through the IP Base image, including VLANs and basic Layer 3 capabilities, enabling straightforward segmentation and integration with other Catalyst devices. With its 12-port copper plus dual uplink configuration, the WS-C3560CX-12TC-S delivers reliable 1-Gigabit connectivity for desktops, printers, and access points while maintaining a compact footprint for desks or small equipment cabinets, and other network devices.
