The Cisco WS-C3560E-48TD-S is probably the best 48 port gigabit ethernet switch value available. Cisco basically took a WS-C3560G-48TS-S and added 10gig uplink ports (although you can optionally install 1G ones if you want). The 3560E is faster, newer, better, and CHEAPER than the older 3560G, even though a new 3560G would cost you more to buy!

This is one of those cases where an under-appreciated equipment model translates into cost savings as well as better performance!

While you'll find this 3560 Catalyst switch priced new at $4000 on major retailers (List price $10,289) we are offering this brand new in box, genuine Cisco switch (WS-C3560E-48TD-S) for just $699. That's over $3300 off the street price and about 90% off list. This is literally the deal of the year - so don't miss out. Quantities are limited!
