Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 12-Port PoE IP Base | Managed Switch, Enterprise — CON-L14HR-HXE22M6S

Maintain control at the network edge without giving up rack space or operational clarity. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 12 Port PoE IP Base is designed for compact enterprise deployments where access-layer switching must support powered endpoints, segmented traffic, and straightforward management. It suits branch offices, retail sites, and distributed workspaces that need a dependable switch footprint with Cisco’s familiar operational model. With 12 Ethernet ports and PoE support, this switch is built to connect and power the devices that keep day-to-day operations moving: IP phones, access points, cameras, and other edge hardware. IP Base software provides the management foundation expected in business networks, including VLAN support and Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities for controlled traffic handling. That makes it a practical fit when a basic unmanaged switch is not enough, but a larger campus platform would be excessive. For teams standardizing on Cisco, the 3560-CX line offers a compact way to extend enterprise policy to smaller spaces. It helps reduce the number of separate power adapters, simplifies endpoint placement, and preserves a cleaner installation profile. When uptime, control, and physical efficiency matter, this model earns its place through disciplined design rather than excess.
