Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches are enterprise-class standalone distribution layer switches that support the deployment of converged security applications and maximize investment protection as network and application requirements evolve. The series offers 10/100/1000 and Power over Ethernet (PoE) configurations with Gigabit Ethernet uplinks to support applications such as IP telephony, wireless, and video, increasing employee productivity.
The Catalyst 3560‑E series provides a range of 24‑ and 48‑port Ethernet switches with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, optional PoE, and two X2 10 Gbps TwinGig uplink ports. The switches support IP Base or IP Services feature sets, offering advanced routing, multicast, IPv6, QoS, and security capabilities such as ACLs, 802.1x, and MAC‑based authentication.
Power options include modular AC power supplies (1150 W, 750 W, 265 W) and the Cisco RPS 2300 redundant power system for high availability. Detailed specifications cover a 128‑Gbps switching matrix, up to 101.2 Mpps forwarding, 128 MB DRAM, 64 MB flash, and support for up to 1005 VLANs. Physical dimensions are 1.75 × 17.5 × 18.1 in (24‑port) or 1.75 × 17.5 × 21.7 in (48‑port) with weights ranging from 17.9 lb to 20.9 lb. This manual is written in Chinese.
