The Cisco® Catalyst® 3650 Series is 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 3650 Series 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 3650 Series switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE®) on the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series multigigabit switches, and offer modular and field-replaceable redundant fans and power supplies.

• Integrated wireless controller capability with up to 40G of wireless capacity per switch (48-port models)
• Support for up to 50 access points and 1000 wireless clients on each switching entity (switch or stack)
• 24 and 48 10/100/1000 data and PoE+ models with energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) supported ports
• 24 and 48 100-Mbps and 1-, 2.5-, 5-, and 10-Gbps (multigigabit) Cisco UPOE and PoE+ models with EEE
• Five fixed-uplink models with four Gigabit Ethernet, two 10 Gigabit Ethernet, four 10 Gigabit Ethernet, eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or two 40 Gigabit Ethernet Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports
• 24-port and 48-port 10/100/1000 PoE+ models with lower noise and reduced depth of 11.62 inches for shallow depth cabinets
• Optional Cisco StackWise-160 technology that provides scalability and resiliency with 160 Gbps of stack throughput
• Dual redundant, modular power supplies and three modular fans providing redundancy
• Full IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) with 30W power on all ports in 1 rack unit (RU) form factor
• Cisco UPOE with 60W power per port in 1 rack unit (RU) form factor
• IEEE 802.3bz (2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T) to go beyond 1 Gbps with existing Category 5e and Category 6
