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.
