Product Overview
The Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C of switches, also referred to as the switch, are Ethernet switches to
which you can connect devices such as Cisco IP Phones, Cisco Wireless Access Points, workstations,
and other network devices such as servers, routers, and other switches.
You can deploy these switches outside of the traditional wiring closet environment, such as in office
workspaces, hotel rooms, slot machines, kiosks, and classrooms. The switch is suitable for deployments
where there are space and power constraints (access to power outlets).
See the switch software configuration guide for deployment examples.
