WS-C3650-48FQ-E Overview
Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-48FQ-E is the next generation of enterprise-level stable access layer switch and integrates with 48 POE+ Ethernet ports and 4 x 10G SFP uplink ports in IP Services feature set.
The Cisco Catalyst 3650 series is the enterprise-class standalone and stackable access-layer switch that provides 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 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 Catalyst 3650 series switch supports full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and offers modular and field-replaceable redundant fans and power supplies. It can help you increase wireless productivity and reduce your TCO.
