About the Cisco Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-24TS-E Cisco Catalyst switch
The Cisco Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-24TS-E delivers 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps downlink ports plus 4 x 1G SFP uplinks, making it an ideal choice for mid-market enterprise deployments requiring dense 1G connectivity with scalable uplink capacity. This Cisco managed Layer 3 stackable switch combines a 128 Gbps switching capacity and 95.2 Mpps forwarding rate with StackWise-160 technology, enabling up to 9 units to be stacked together with 160 Gbps of inter-stack bandwidth for seamless network growth without architectural constraints.
Network engineers will appreciate the integrated 802.11ac Wave 1 wireless LAN controller capability built into the platform, eliminating the need for separate controller hardware. Security-focused deployments benefit from MACsec encryption (IEEE 802.1AE) on all downlink ports, protecting sensitive data in flight across the switching fabric. The WS-C3650-24TS-E runs Cisco IOS XE Software with IP Services (IPSE) licensing, supported by 4 GB DRAM and 2 GB Flash memory. Management is handled via 1 x RJ-45 console, 1 x USB mini-B console, and 1 x USB Type-A interface, while the modular 250W AC power supply includes a second PSU slot for redundancy. IT procurement teams can deploy this unit with confidence in both performance and operational resilience.
Typical Enterprise Deployments
- Medium-to-large campus access layer with integrated wireless controller consolidation
- Multi-floor office buildings requiring stackable switching without additional controller appliances
- Environments demanding MACsec encryption for compliance-sensitive network segments
- Branch and regional offices needing reliable 1G uplink capacity with future scalability to 9 stacked members
- Network expansions where modular power redundancy reduces single points of failure
