Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 12-Port PoE Switch 10G Uplinks | IP Base — CON-L1NBD-ASR1PX2H

Keep edge traffic moving without giving up rack space or operational control. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 12 Port PoE, 10G Uplinks IP Base is built for compact enterprise access deployments that need powered endpoints and high-speed uplinks in a small footprint. With 12 PoE ports, it is well suited to connect phones, access points, cameras, and other network devices while preserving a clean cabling layout. The 10G uplinks provide a stronger path back to the distribution layer, helping prevent access bottlenecks as endpoint demand grows. That matters in branch offices and wiring closets where a small switch must still support real traffic loads, not just basic connectivity. IP Base positioning makes it a practical choice for teams that want Cisco Catalyst access features in a focused configuration. This model is a good fit when you need enterprise-grade access switching without overbuying port count. It balances PoE delivery, uplink capacity, and compact design for environments where space is limited but network expectations are not. For procurement teams, it offers a clear reason to choose a Catalyst access switch over lower-tier alternatives: better uplink headroom, stronger fit for converged edge devices, and a platform aligned with long-term network standardization.
