The CISCO WS-C3650-24TS-S is a member of the innovative Cisco Catalyst 3650 series of switches, integral to creating more intelligent, responsive, and integrated network environments. This model is equipped with 24 Ethernet ports and 4 1G uplink ports, providing solid foundation for both wired and wireless network infrastructures. The switch operates on the IP Base feature set which offers essential Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including static routing and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) support, making it suitable for access layer deployment in enterprise networks. It is engineered with the same Cisco StackWise-160 technology that allows for stackable bandwidth of up to 160 Gbps, enhancing operational efficiency by providing a single switching unit view. This makes installation, management, and troubleshooting processes simpler and more intuitive. The embedded Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) enables the powerful convergence of wired and wireless networks on a single platform, allowing for consistent security policies, application visibility, and control across the network. The WS-C3650-24TS-S aims to meet the needs of growing businesses requiring a reliable and secure network infrastructure that supports advanced features such as smart operations and flexible add-on options in a scalable and resilient package.
