Table 1 lists many of the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX switch features and benefits.
Table 1. Compact Switch Features and Benefits Summary
Feature | Benefits |
Hardware | |
Small form factor; fanless design; silent operation | The switch can be used in open workspaces and other areas that cannot tolerate equipment noise and where multiple cable runs could be difficult, expensive, and intrusive. |
Flexible mounting options | The switch can be mounted on the wall, under a desk, rack, DIN rail, or practically anywhere they are needed. |
Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet | With the enormous growth of 802.11ac and new wireless applications, wireless devices are driving the demand for more network bandwidth. This creates a need for a technology that supports speeds higher than 1 Gbps on all cabling infrastructure. Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology is a unique Cisco innovation that allows you to achieve bandwidth between speeds of 100Mbps and 10 Gbps over traditional Cat 5e cabling or above. In addition, the Multigigabit ports on the Cisco Catalyst Compact switch support PoE+, which is increasingly important for next-generation workspaces and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. The Multigigabit Ethernet ports can also be used as uplinks to connect to traditional access switches such as the Cisco Catalyst 3850/4500 switches.
Cisco Multigigabit technology offers significant benefits for a diverse range of speeds, cable types, and PoE power. The benefits can be grouped into three different areas: ● Multiple speeds: Cisco Multigigabit technology supports autonegotiation of multiple speeds on switch ports. The supported speeds are 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps on Cat 5e cable and up to 10 Gbps over Cat 6a cabling. ● Cable type: The technology supports a wide range of cable types, including Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a or above. ● PoE power: The technology supports PoE and PoE+ for all the supported speeds and cable types. |
10-Gigabit SFP+ uplinks | Accommodates business growth and increased traffic, such as aggregate upstream gigabit traffic loads from 802.11ac Wi-Fi access points. |
Increased PoE+ Scale | Provides up to 240W of PoE+ budget (twice the power per switch than previous series). |
Perpetual PoE | Provides uninterrupted power to a powered-down device even when the switch is booting. This eliminates the need for a backup power source. |
PoE pass-through | PoE pass-through gives the ability to power PoE end devices through drawing Cisco UPOE from the wiring closet. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560CX-8PT-S has eight downlink ports with two Cisco UPOE input ports that allow it to be powered by another switch. These switches do not need a power supply and receive power over the uplink from an upstream PoE or Cisco UPOE device, providing deployment flexibility and availability. These switches are ideal for wiring-constrained and space-constrained applications. |
Management and Operations | |
Cisco Instant Access Mode | Available on Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX switches with 10 G SFP+ uplinks, this optional mode enables a single point of management and operation for campus networks. Multiple Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX compact switches with 10 G SFP+ uplinks can be connected to Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800 core switches, and the entire configuration can then work as a single extended switch with a common management domain.
In this mode, compact switches inherit all the features of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 or 6800. Advanced Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 6800 features like MPLS and EVN can be extended to the access layer, so the Cisco Catalyst Instant Access solution can be deployed on all or a subset of the campus network. |
Cisco Network Plug ‘n Play (PnP) | Network Plug-n-Play (PnP) is a secure, scalable solution that accelerates network device deployments by automating the installation and configuration of Cisco IOS software. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX and 2960-CX switches are ‘Network-PnP Ready’ and can be used as part of the APIC-EM solution for automated switch deployments. This feature helps improve productivity, cut costs, reduce downtime, and enhance the user experience. |
