Cisco WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S - Catalyst 3560C PD PSE Switch 8 GE PoE 1 YEAR WARRANTY WSC3560CPD8PTS

Description:

The Cisco WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S Catalyst Switch is used in enterprise and branch office networks to provide compact Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability for connected devices. This 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch operates as both a Powered Device (PD) and Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), allowing it to receive power from an upstream PoE switch while also delivering PoE to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras. As part of the Cisco Catalyst 3560-C Series, the switch supports advanced enterprise networking features including VLAN segmentation, traffic prioritization, and secure network management through Cisco IOS software. Its compact fanless design allows deployment in locations where traditional rack-mounted switches are not practical, such as workspaces, retail environments, or remote network locations. The switch provides reliable connectivity and flexible deployment options for small network segments within larger enterprise infrastructures. Network administrators and system integrators commonly deploy this switch for edge network connectivity, infrastructure expansion, device connectivity, and replacement of existing compact switches in distributed enterprise environments.

Applications:

The Cisco WS-C3560CPD-8PT-S switch is widely used in enterprise edge network environments where compact switching and PoE power delivery are required. It is commonly installed in offices, retail locations, classrooms, healthcare facilities, and remote workspaces to connect devices such as desktop computers, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras. Because it can be powered through PoE from an upstream switch, it is suitable for installations where local power outlets are limited, enabling flexible deployment within distributed network infrastructures.
