Cisco Systems is pleased to introduce the new Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series is an enterprise-class line of standalone
wiring closet switches that facilitates the deployment of secure converged applications
while maximizing investment protection for evolving network and application
requirements. Combining 10/100/1000 and Power over Ethernet (PoE) configurations with
10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E enhances worker productivity by
enabling applications such as IP telephony, wireless, and video.

Cisco Catalyst 3560-E Series Primary Features
– Cisco TwinGig converter module for migrating uplinks from Gigabit Ethernet to
10 Gigabit Ethernet
– PoE configurations with 15.4W of PoE on all 48 ports
– Modular power supply with externally available backup
– IPv6 routing, multicast routing, and access control list (ACL) in hardware
– Out-of-band Ethernet management port along with RS-232 console port

The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E features wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports for high-bandwidth
applications, relieving congestion and helping ensure smooth delivery of data. The TwinGig
converter converts a 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 interface into two Gigabit Ethernet Small FormFactor
Pluggable (SFP) ports. This way, customers can initially use the switch with Gigabit
Ethernet uplinks and later implement 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks as business demands change,
without having to upgrade the access layer.
