The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series is the next-generation energy-efficient Layer 3 fast Ethernet
switches. This new series of switches supports Cisco EnergyWise technology, which enables companies to measure
and manage power consumption of network infrastructure and network-attached devices, thereby reducing their
energy costs and their carbon footprint. The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series consumes less power than its
predecessors and is the ideal access layer switch for enterprise, retail, and branch-office environments, as it
maximizes productivity and investment protection by enabling a unified network for data, voice, and video.
