Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 8-Port PoE IP Base | Managed Switch, Enterprise — CON-SSSW-ISR4331V

Keep critical edge devices connected with a compact access switch designed for branch offices, wiring closets, and space-constrained deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-CX 8 Port PoE IP Base brings managed switching to small footprints where uptime, predictable policy control, and clean cable runs matter more than raw port density. With 8 PoE ports, this model is well suited for powering IP phones, access points, and surveillance endpoints from a single switch location. IP Base management gives network teams the control they need for VLAN segmentation and day-to-day administration, while the Catalyst platform is built for long service life in enterprise environments. This is the kind of switch chosen when a lower-cost unmanaged device is not enough, but a larger chassis would be wasteful. It fits distributed sites that need stable access, straightforward deployment, and Cisco’s operational consistency across the network edge. Ideal For Branch office access switching for phones and desktop endpoints Small wiring closet deployment for cameras and wireless access points Retail back-office network segmentation and device power delivery Distributed enterprise edge where compact managed switching is required Why This Product 1 Managed Cisco access switching instead of unmanaged commodity hardware 2 8 PoE ports for endpoint power and data on one device 3 Compact Catalyst CX footprint for tight closets and branch spaces 4 IP Base feature set for controlled enterprise access deployments
