Hi,

++ The Cisco Catalyst 3560 v2 Series are next-generation, energy-efficient, Layer 3 Fast Ethernet switches. These new switches support Cisco EnergyWise technology, which helps companies manage power consumption of the network infrastructure and network-attached devices, thereby reducing their energy costs and their carbon footprint.

++ The new switches consume less power than their predecessors and are ideal access layer switches for enterprise, retail, and branch-office environments. They help you maximize productivity and provide investment protection by enabling a unified network for data, voice, and video.

The best way to compare a product is to refer the datasheets of those products.

The main difference between the plain and "V2" is the power consumption. V2 uses less power than the older model.

Currently, I'd recommend using the V2 over the plain one.

One notable difference, V2 series provide 10/100 copper ports, the 3560G series provides 10/100/1000 copper ports.
