Reading a Cisco switch model code

The model code tells you most of what you need. In WS-C3560G-48PS-S, 3560G is the series, 48 is the number of ports, P means Power over Ethernet and the final letter is the software licence: L for LAN Base, S for IP Base and E for IP Services. Ports marked T are copper data ports and S on its own means SFP fibre ports. Powering IP phones? See our refurbished Cisco IP phones.

Which Catalyst switch do you need?

Choose by the job the switch does in your network.

Catalyst 2960: access switching

Layer 2 access switches for connecting desks, printers, phones and access points. The PoE models (PS) power phones and wireless access points directly.

Catalyst 3560: Layer 3

Layer 3 switches: with an IP Base or IP Services licence they route between VLANs on the switch itself, so a small site can route internally without a separate router. PoE models available.

Catalyst 3750: stackable

The 3750 family adds StackWise stacking, so several switches are managed as one, with SFP models for fibre links between buildings and racks.

Refurbished Cisco switches: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between PoE and PoE+?

PoE (IEEE 802.3af) delivers up to 15.4W per port, enough for most IP phones. PoE+ (802.3at) delivers up to 30W per port for higher-power devices such as some wireless access points and cameras. The total available depends on the switch's power supply.

What are LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services?

They are Cisco software licence levels. LAN Base covers Layer 2 switching, IP Base adds basic Layer 3 routing and IP Services adds advanced routing protocols. The last letter of the model code shows which licence the switch shipped with.

Are these switches still supported by Cisco?

Many refurbished Catalyst models are past Cisco's end-of-sale date, so they no longer receive new feature releases. They suit offices, branches, labs and spares well; check Cisco's end-of-life notice for a model if you need a Cisco support contract.

What warranty do refurbished switches have?

Networking equipment is covered by our standard 12-month warranty on refurbished hardware, from delivery or collection.
