Switch model recommendation

[__21]

Dear Expert,

Kindly i have a project that needs 14 switches with 8 PoE ports + 2 SFP up-links and all are interconnected to the main control room by SM Fiber cable. so my question is what's your recommendation about 14 switches and which core switch is compatible with it.

Many thanks in advance.

Muhammad,

Thank you for your interest in Cisco switches. I apologize for the delay in getting a recommendation for you. I have reached out to the Cisco switching team for a response, and you should hear from them soon.

From our switching team expert:

You could look into the Cisco Catalyst 3560CX family, specifically the one with 8 PoE ports. This is an access switch that is compatible with our Nexus or Catalyst 9300 switches (core).

There is one model on this family that has 8 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and can be connected via SM fiber cable:

Name: Catalyst 3560X-8PC ( 8 GE POE ports, 2 GE SFP uplinks)

Part Number: WS-C3560CX-8PC-S

List Price: $1,695.00 USD
