The Cisco WS-C3560CG-8TC-S is a compact, managed Layer 3 switch that combines eight 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with two dual-purpose uplinks (RJ-45 or SFP) in a small footprint designed for space-constrained environments. This Catalyst 3560-CG model provides edge and campus connectivity with Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, supporting Cisco IOS IP Base for centralized configuration and control. It delivers up to 20 Gbps of switching capacity and up to 14.9 Mpps forwarding, enabling reliable, low-latency traffic handling for devices such as computers, IP phones, wireless access points, and other network gear. Management is available via CLI, SNMP, and a Web-based interface, making it suitable for IT teams that need flexible, scriptable control as well as straightforward day-to-day administration. The switch is mounted in space-saving installations and offers desktop, wall, or DIN rail mounting options, with an external power adapter powering its operation. Operating temperatures range from 0 °C to 40 °C, aligning with typical office, classroom, retail, and light industrial environments. In deployments where space is at a premium but advanced switching is required, the WS-C3560CG-8TC-S supports features such as network segmentation and traffic prioritization to extend enterprise networks while preserving centralized management.
