Ordering Guide for Cisco Catalyst
Fixed Configuration Switches
Cisco Catalyst Ethernet switches support some of the most
advanced features available today in the industry, providing
high levels of network availability, advanced quality of service
(QoS), and integrated security. Cisco Catalyst switches enable
partners to deliver services for their customers today and in
the future to meet changing customer needs.
From Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet for high
speed server connectivity to Power over Ethernet (PoE) for IP
Telephony and wireless LAN deployments, the Cisco Catalyst
family provides multiple choices for partners and customers.
Cisco IOS Software unifies all Cisco switches, routers and
other equipment, providing a solid foundation for Internet
applications, and helping companies to extend common
services and interfaces across the entire network and reduce
training and administrative costs. Finally, Cisco management
software supports remote monitoring, configuration, fault-
detection, and troubleshooting, while a complete line of tools,
simplifies and automates the delivery of intelligent services
throughout the network, whatever the organization’s size.
Brief Product Descriptions
Catalyst Express 500
and 520 Series Switches
Cisco Catalyst Express 500 and 520 Series Switches are fixed-
configuration, Layer 2 managed Ethernet switches that provide
wire-speed Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity,
integrated security, and preconfigured quality-of-service (QoS)
and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) features for small and medium
sized businesses.
• Designed specifically for SMBs, the Cisco Catalyst Express
500 Series is a family of easy-to-use managed Ethernet
switches that deliver the security, availability, and rich
features required to support advanced IP communications
and wireless LAN applications.
Quick Reference Guide
• C
 isco Catalyst Express 520 Series switches are
components of the Cisco Smart Business Communications
System they easily integrate into the communication system
to support voice, security and wireless networking services.
Catalyst 2960 Series Switches
The Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Switches are fixed-
configuration Ethernet switches that enable intelligent
services for mid-market and small branch office networks.
The Catalyst 2960 LAN Lite Fast Ethernet Switches enable
customers to migrate from unmanaged devices to scalable
managed switches with baseline security, QoS and
availability. The Catalyst 2960 LAN Base Switches provide
Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and PoE connectivity with
enhanced integrated security, scalable management for
lower total cost of ownership, and unified network services
for applications such as unified communications and mobility.
Catalyst 3750 and 3560 Series Switches
The Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Catalyst 3560 Series
Switches are fixed-configuration stackable and standalone
Ethernet switches that enable advanced intelligent services
for enterprise and mid-market wiring closets and large
branch office networks. The Catalyst 3750 and 3560 Series
switches provide investment protection and deliver increased
availability and scalability through advanced L3 services,
advanced security such as man-in-the-middle attack threat
mitigation features, and increased control for applications
like Telepresence. The Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E
Series Switches bring additional investment protection for
10G uplinks, modular power supplies and fans, and increased
PoE availability for supporting devices such as the Cisco
1250 Z802.11n wireless access points.
