Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series Switches

Foundation for Innovation-Powered by Cisco

Figure 1. Catalyst 3560 Series Switches

The Cisco

Catalyst

3560 Series (Figure 1) is a line of fixed-configuration, enterprise-class

switches that includes IEEE 802.3af and Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability

in Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet configurations. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 is an ideal access-

layer switch for small enterprise LAN access or branch-office environments, combining both

10/100/1000 and PoE configurations for maximum productivity and investment protection while

facilitating the deployment of new applications such as IP telephony, wireless access, video

surveillance, building management systems, and remote video kiosks. Customers can deploy

networkwide intelligent services-such as advanced quality of service (QoS), rate limiting, access

control lists (ACLs), multicast management, and high-performance IP routing-while maintaining the

simplicity of traditional LAN switching.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

IEEE 802.3af and Cisco Prestandard Power over Ethernet

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series can provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployments

that incorporate Cisco IP phones, Cisco Aironet

wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, or any IEEE

802.3af-compliant end device. PoE removes the need for wall power to each PoE-enabled device

and eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in IP

phone and WLAN deployments.

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 24-port PoE configurations can support 24 simultaneous full-powered

PoE ports at 15.4 watts (W) for maximum powered-device support. Taking advantage of Cisco

Catalyst Intelligent Power Management, the 48-port PoE configurations can deliver the necessary

power to support 24 ports at 15.4W, 48 ports at 7.7W, or any combination in between through the

sophisticated power-management features in Cisco IOS

Software.
