The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560G-24PS-S 24 Port Switch is an enterprise-class, fixed-configuration Layer 3 managed switch designed for small to medium-sized business environments, branch offices, or wiring closets. It delivers high-performance network connectivity with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and video cameras. The switch also provides four SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports for flexible fiber optic uplink connections to a network's backbone or core.

It integrates network-wide intelligent services such as advanced Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic (like voice and video), robust security features (such as Access Control Lists), and high-performance IP routing. The unit is rack-mountable, operates with an internal power supply, and is managed through a command-line interface (CLI) or the Cisco Network Assistant software.
