Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 8-Port PoE IP Base | Compact Managed Switch — CON-L1NBD-CW9166IZ

Support branch and access-layer networks with the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 8 Port PoE IP Base. This compact Catalyst platform is designed for environments that need dependable switching, Power over Ethernet support, and Cisco control features without the footprint of a larger chassis. It fits well in workspaces, small wiring closets, and distributed sites where port density must be balanced with operational simplicity. The IP Base feature set gives network teams the tools needed for standard enterprise access deployments, while PoE support helps power phones, access points, and other endpoint devices directly from the switch. That reduces adapter sprawl and keeps edge installations cleaner and easier to service. For organizations standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, the 3560-CX line offers a familiar operational model and a form factor suited to modern branch designs. Compared with lower-cost unmanaged alternatives, this switch earns its place through enterprise control, PoE capability, and the confidence of a Cisco access-layer platform. It is a practical choice when the network must support business-critical users and devices with predictable behavior and manageable overhead.
