The Cisco WS-C3560CX-12TC-S is a compact switch designed for efficient network performance with a focus on high durability and flexibility in various operational environments. This device is engineered to cater to small to medium-sized enterprises and branch offices, offering a comprehensive solution for network connectivity and management. At the core, this switch provides 12 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports, enabling high-speed network connections. These ports are supplemented by four uplink ports, which include two 1G SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports and two 1G copper ports, enhancing the switch's connectivity options and providing flexibility for uplink strategies. The feature set of the WS-C3560CX-12TC-S is designated as IP Base, which supports a variety of networking protocols necessary for a wide range of networking applications. Key specifications include a forwarding rate of 23.8 million packets per second (Mpps), which ensures efficient data processing and minimal latency for network traffic. The device boasts an impressive Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 755,270 hours, indicating a high level of reliability. In terms of memory, it comes equipped with 512 MB of DRAM and 128 MB of flash memory, sufficient for operating system storage and basic network configuration data.

• Supports up to 1023 VLANs, with a VLAN ID range extending to 4000, allowing for extensive network segmentation and improved security.
• Supports a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of up to 9000 bytes and jumbo frames up to 9198 bytes, facilitating the efficient handling of large data packets.
• Equipped with per-port status LEDs and system status LEDs, providing immediate visual feedback on the operational state of the device and individual ports.

The switch's compact size, measuring 1.75 x 10.6 x 9.4 inches and weighing 3.9 lbs, allows for flexible deployment options, including desktop placement or rack mounting in space-constrained environments. Operational resilience is underscored by its ability to function within a broad temperature range, from -5 °C to 45 °C, and at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet. Storage conditions are equally robust, with temperature tolerances from -25 °C to 70 °C and storage altitudes up to 15,000 feet. The device maintains operational efficiency with a relative humidity range from 5% (non-condensing) to 95% (non-condensing), ensuring it performs reliably in diverse environmental conditions. In summary, the Cisco WS-C3560CX-12TC-S stands out as a compact, efficient, and reliable networking solution. Its blend of Gigabit Ethernet and uplink port configurations, coupled with the IP Base feature set, makes it an ideal choice for organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure for performance and flexibility. With its robust design and operational resilience, this switch meets the demands of various deployment scenarios, providing a solid foundation for business operations and network management tasks.
