Cisco 3650 Series Switches

Cisco 3650 Series Switches will converge your wired and wireless network. Simplify operations, deliver the reliability you need, and achieve better mobile experiences to your employees and customers. With the Cisco 3650 Series your network is ready for the mobile devices and applications it needs to support.

Cisco 3650 Series

The 3650 Series are the next generation of enterprise-class standalone and stackable access-layer switches that provide the foundation for full convergence between wired and wireless on a single platform. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 is built on the advanced Cisco StackWise-160, and takes advantage of the new Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This switch can enable uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, application optimization, and superior resiliency.

The Cisco 3650 Series Switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and offer modular and field-replaceable redundant fans and power supplies. The Cisco 3650 Series Switches also come in a 12-inch lower depth form factor so that you can deploy them in tight wiring closets in remote branches and offices where depth of the switch is a concern. They can help you increase wireless productivity and reduce your TCO.

Converged wired plus wireless not only improves wireless bandwidth across the network but also the scale of wireless
deployment. Each 48-port Cisco Catalyst 3650 provides 40 Gbps of wireless throughput (20 Gbps on the 24-port model).
This wireless capacity increases with the number of members in the stack. This makes sure that the network can scale
with current wireless bandwidth requirements, as dictated by IEEE 802.11n-based access points and with future wireless
standards such as IEEE 802.11ac. Additionally, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 distributes the wireless controller functions to
achieve better scalability. Each Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch/stack can operate as the wireless controller in two modes:
