End of Sale for Cisco Catalyst 3560G, 3560E, 3750G and 3750E products

Cisco is about to announce the End of Sale for the following products:

- Catalyst 3750G
- Catalyst 3560G
- Catalyst 3750-E
- Catalyst 3560-E

The official End of Sale notification is not yet posted on Cisco's website, but is expected to be released shortly.

The recommended products moving forward to replace these are:

- Catalyst 3750-X to replace the Catalyst 3750G and 3750E series
- Catalyst 3650-X to replace the Catalyst 3560G and 3560E series

The X-Series products allow either 1Gig-E or 10Gig-E uplinks to be used depending upon the module inserted in the front, along with the appropriate SFP or SFP+ modules. In addition, both the 3750-X and 3560-X support Cisco's new Power Stack technology, allowing power to be shared across a stack of switches. This feature makes more efficient use of power within the stack, whilst improving resilience.

The Catalyst 3750-X switches are stackble using StackWise Plus, in the same way as the older Catalyst 3750G and 3750E products, providing a 64Gbps backplane connection across the stack, which can house up to nine switches.

By ordering the X-Series switches, end users also benefit from a Cisco Enhanced limited lifetime warranty with next business day advance hardware replacement, and 90 day access to Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support. This enhanced warranty was not available on the G-Series and E-Series products.
