The Cisco® Catalyst® 3560-X Series Switches are an enterprise-class lines of stackable and standalone switches, respectively. These switches provide high availability, scalability, security, energy efficiency, and ease of operation with innovative features such as Cisco StackPower, IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) configurations, optional network modules, redundant power supplies, and Media Access Control Security (MACsec) features. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-X enhance productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony, wireless, and video for borderless network experience.
Cisco Catalyst and 3560-X Series primary features:
• 24 and 48 10/100/1000 PoE+ and non-PoE models
• Optional four Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP or two 10GbE SFP+ uplink network modules
• Industry first PoE+ with 30W power on all ports in 1 rack unit (RU) form factor
• Dual redundant, modular power supplies and fans
• Media Access Control Security (MACsec) hardware-based encryption
• IPv4 and IPv6 routing, Multicast routing, advanced quality of service (QoS), and security features in hardware
• Enhanced limited lifetime warranty (LLW) with next business day (NBD) advance hardware replacement and 90 day access to Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support
• Enhanced Cisco EnergyWise for operational cost optimization by measuring actual power consumption of the PoE devices, reporting, and reducing energy consumption across the network
• USB Type-A and Type-B ports for storage and console respectively and an out-of-band Ethernet management port.
All switch models can be configured with the optional four GbE or two 10 GbE network module. The switch models are available with either the LAN Base or IP Base feature set. IP Services feature set is available as an upgrade option at the time of ordering or through a license at a later time.

Figure 2. StackPower Connector
StackPower can be deployed in either power sharing mode or redundancy mode. In power sharing mode, the power of all the power supplies in the stack is aggregated and distributed among the switches in the stack. In redundant mode, when the total power budget of the stack is calculated, the wattage of the largest power supply is not included. That power is held in reserve and used to maintain power to switches and attached devices when one power supply fails, enabling the network to operate without interruption. Following the failure of one power supply, the StackPower mode becomes power sharing.
StackPower allows customers to simply add one extra power supply in any switch of the stack and provide either power redundancy for any of the stack members or simply add more power to the shared pool. StackPower eliminates the need for an external redundant power system or installation of dual power supplies in all the stack members.
Network Module
Figure 3 shows network module with four GbE or two 10GbE SFP+ interfaces.
Figure 3. Network Module with Four GbE or Two 10GbE SFP+ Interfaces
The Cisco Catalyst 3560-X Series Switche support an optional network module for uplink ports. The default switch configuration doesn't include the uplink module; the customer has the flexibility to choose from four GbE port (3KX-NM-1G) or two 10GbE port (3KX-NM-10G) network module at the time of switch purchase. The 10GbE uplink module features four physical ports with two SFP+ and two regular SFP ports. The SFP+ interface supports both 10GbE and GbE port, allowing customer to use their investment in GbE SFP and upgrade to 10GbE when business demands change, without having to do a comprehensive upgrade of the access switch. The uplink module is hot swappable. The 10GbE network module can be used in any of the combinations shown in Table 2.
