The specs on these tint switches are really nice for a 10 port gig routing switch. Pricing and availability was delayed for an unknown reason for a long time.

At some point over the many months I had stopped looking for these switches and then today I saw that they are available on the CDW site. The price for the 3560-c model is $1,350.00 approximately. For what you are getting that is very reasonable. It is a bit pricey for 10 port dumb gig switch but if you were to use it right it would be a very good buy.

Until next time,

They are big company with an even bigger base of users and companies to service. The landscape of the networking field doesn’t change like some of the other facets of IT does but it does move along a good pace. Cisco recently, and I mean a few months ago, announced a new line of switches for the SMB market space.

The switches aren’t on sale yet so price is a bit of mystery but the feature set and marketing material is up on their website already. According to the site the “C” in the model name means compact. As for the features the site says “provide all the capabilities and benefits of the enterprise-class Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 3560-X Series Switches, including enhanced limited lifetime warranty.” For such a small size the feature set is pretty extensive. Now if the price is truly SMB then these little switches could be useful beyond the 5 person office.
