Cisco WS-C3560-12PC-S Managed Ethernet Switch

The Cisco WS-C3560-12PC-S is a compact, managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for Cisco enterprise network infrastructures, featuring 12 Fast Ethernet PoE ports and two Gigabit uplinks to support both data and power delivery in a single device. With IEEE 802.3af PoE, it powers IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras directly from the switch, eliminating separate power supplies in small office or branch deployments. Built on the Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series platform, it combines Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with routing capabilities, advanced security features, and traffic management, delivering up to 32 Gbps of switching capacity and a forwarding rate of up to 10.1 Mpps, with management via CLI, SNMP, or a web-based interface. The unit is rack-mountable or suitable for desktop installation, uses an internal AC power supply, and is commonly deployed for network expansion, PoE device integration, and infrastructure upgrades in branch offices, retail locations, or educational environments. This 12-port PoE switch is ideal when you need to power and connect IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras from a single compact switch within space-constrained enterprise or campus edge deployments.
