Ports

The Cisco WS-C3560CX-8PT-S Managed Switch is equipped with 10 ports, making it an ideal choice for businesses and organizations that require a high-performance network infrastructure. These ports provide connectivity options for various devices such as computers, servers, printers, and other networking devices.

Increased Flexibility and Scalability

With 10 ports, this switch offers increased flexibility and scalability for your network. You can easily connect multiple devices and expand your network without the need for additional switches or equipment. This eliminates the hassle of managing multiple switches and simplifies network administration.

Improved Network Performance

The 10 ports on this Cisco switch ensure improved network performance by reducing network congestion. Each port provides dedicated bandwidth, allowing devices to communicate efficiently without affecting the overall network speed. This is especially important in environments where data transfer and real-time communication are critical.

Versatile Connectivity Options

The variety of ports on this managed switch allows for versatile connectivity options. The 10 ports include both Ethernet ports and Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, enabling you to connect devices that require power directly through the switch. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters, reducing clutter and simplifying installation.

Increased Productivity

With 10 ports, this switch enables you to connect multiple devices simultaneously, leading to increased productivity. Users can access network resources seamlessly without experiencing bottlenecks or delays. This is particularly beneficial in office environments where employees heavily rely on network-connected devices to perform their tasks efficiently.

Network Segmentation

The 10 ports on this managed switch also allow for network segmentation. By creating separate virtual LANs (VLANs) using different ports, you can enhance network security and improve performance. For example, you can separate guest devices from internal devices, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure while maintaining optimal network performance.

Optimized Multimedia Streaming

The 10 ports on this switch support Quality of Service (QoS) features, which prioritize multimedia traffic such as video conferencing, VoIP calls, and streaming. This ensures that important multimedia applications receive sufficient bandwidth and low latency, resulting in smooth and uninterrupted streaming experiences.

PoE+

The Cisco WS-C3560CX-8PT-S Managed Switch also features 1 Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) port. This PoE+ port provides power and data connectivity to compatible devices over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or outlets.

Simplified Installation

The PoE+ feature simplifies the installation process by reducing the number of cables and power outlets required. This is particularly advantageous in scenarios where locating power outlets for each device may be challenging or impractical. With PoE+, you can easily deploy network devices in various locations without worrying about power availability.

Cost Savings

By utilizing the PoE+ feature, you can save on installation and maintenance costs. The need for separate power supplies or adapters is eliminated, resulting in reduced hardware expenses. Additionally, the centralized power management provided by PoE+ allows for efficient power usage and reduces energy consumption.

Flexible Device Placement

The PoE+ port allows for flexible device placement since it eliminates the dependency on nearby power outlets. You can deploy devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras in optimal locations without being constrained by power availability. This flexibility enhances network coverage and improves overall system design.

Remote Power Management

The PoE+ feature enables remote power management, providing administrators with control over the connected devices. You can remotely power cycle or reset devices, reducing the need for physical access. This simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance tasks, saving time and effort.

Support for High-Power Devices

The PoE+ port on this switch supports high-power devices that require more power than standard PoE ports can provide. This allows you to connect power-hungry devices such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, access points with multiple radios, and video phones without any compatibility issues.

Future-Proof Investment

Investing in a switch with PoE+ capabilities ensures future-proofing your network infrastructure. As more devices become PoE+ compatible, having a PoE+ switch allows you to seamlessly integrate new devices without the need for additional power infrastructure upgrades. This scalability and flexibility make the Cisco WS-C3560CX-8PT-S Managed Switch a valuable long-term investment.
