The Industry’s first Fixed, Stackable GE Switch to Converge Wired&Wireless Networking


The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series is the next generation of enterprise-class standalone and stackable access-layer switches, being expected to unveil a new Catalyst access switch designed wired and wireless networking which provide 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 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 Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and offer modular and field-replaceable redundant fans and power supplies. They can help you increase wireless productivity and reduce your TCO.

• 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE+ ports
• 4x1G Uplink ports
• 1025WAC power supply
• LAN Base feature set
• Height: 1 RU fixed-configuration
• Support for up to 25 access points and 1000 wireless clients
• Three fixed-uplink models with 4 x GE, 2 x 10 GE, or 4 x 10 GE ports
• Dual redundant, modular power supplies and three modular fans providing redundancy

The switch also features PoE+ for powering external voice, video and wireless gear, and a multicore CPU for hosted services. It also supports Cisco’s TrustSec role-base security architecture and SmartOperations for network planning, deployment, monitoring and troubleshooting.
The Catalyst 3650 also supports Cisco’s Application Visibility and Control deep packet inspection technology, and are MACSec “ready,” meaning they will eventually support the IEEE 802.1ae “MACSec” data encryption standard.
The Catalyst 3650 will be available in October at the same price points as Cisco’s 3560-X switch–$1,200–which the company will continue to offer.
The Cisco 3650 will compete with other 24/48-port stackable PoE+ switches from HP, Dell, Extreme/Enterasys, Juniper and Brocade.
The Cisco 3650 includes Cisco’s new Universal Access Data Plane (UADP) ASIC that debuted with the next generation switch Catalyst 3850 early this year. It runs the company’s IOS XE operating system.
