What are the key features of the Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-port switch?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-port switch delivers enterprise-class performance with 24 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). It features integrated wireless controller capability supporting up to 50 access points and 2,000 wireless clients, Cisco StackWise-480 technology for 480 Gbps stack throughput, and Cisco StackPower for power redundancy across stack members. The switch is powered by Cisco's Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) ASIC, enabling uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement and application visibility.
Does the Catalyst 3850 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the Catalyst 3850 24-port model fully supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) across all 24 ports, allowing you to power networked devices directly from the switch. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. We offer this switch with multiple power supply options (350W AC, 715W AC, 1100W AC, or 440W DC) to match your deployment requirements.
Can the Catalyst 3850 be stacked with other switches?
Yes, the Catalyst 3850 uses Cisco StackWise-480 technology, which allows multiple switches to be stacked together and managed as a single unit through one IP address and command-line interface. This stackable architecture provides up to 480 Gbps of stack throughput and enhanced resilience, enabling you to scale your network infrastructure while maintaining simplified management. StackPower technology also provides power redundancy across stack members for increased availability.
What management options are available for the Catalyst 3850?
The Catalyst 3850 supports multiple management protocols including SNMP v1, v2c, v3, CLI (command-line interface), and web-based management. This flexibility allows your IT team to integrate the switch into existing network management systems and choose the management method that best fits your infrastructure and security requirements.
What is the operating temperature range for the Catalyst 3850?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 operates reliably in environments with temperatures ranging from -5°C to +45°C (-23°F to +113°F). This wide operating range makes it suitable for deployment in various data center and network closet environments, whether in climate-controlled facilities or less regulated spaces.
What uplink options are available for the Catalyst 3850 24-port model?
The Catalyst 3850 24-port switch offers three optional uplink module choices to expand connectivity: 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, or 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These modular uplink options allow you to scale your network's backbone capacity while keeping the 24 access ports for end-device connectivity. Contact us today to discuss which uplink configuration best matches your network architecture.
