The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series is the next generation of enterprise-class stackable Ethernet & Multigigabit Ethernet access & aggregation layer switches that provide full convergence between wired & wireless on a single platform. Cisco’s new Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) powers the switch & enables uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility & application optimization. This convergence is built on the resilience of the new & enhanced Cisco Stack Wise-480 technology. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (Po E+), Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE), modular & field-replaceable network modules, RJ45 & fiber-based downlink interfaces, & redundant fans & power supplies. With speeds that reach 10 Gbps, the Catalyst 3850 Multigigabit Ethernet Switches support current & next-generation wireless speeds & standards (including 802.11ac Wave 2) on existing cabling infrastructure. Features Integrated wireless controller capability with: - Up to 40G of wireless capacity per switch (48-port models) - Support for up to 50 access points & 2000 wireless clients on each switching entity (switch or stack) 24 & 48 10/100/1000 data Po E+ & Cisco UPOE models with energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) 24 & 48 100 Mbps/1/2.5/5/10 Gbps UPOE models with energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE)[1] 12- & 24-port SFP-based models - Cisco Stack Wise-480 technology provides scalability & resiliency with 480 Gbps of stack throughput - Cisco Stack Power technology provides power stacking among stack members for power redundancy - Five optional uplink modules with 4 x Gigabit Ethernet, 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 8 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet 2 or 2 x 40 Gigabit QSFP[2] ports - Dual redundant, modular power supplies & three modular fans providing redundancy - Full IEEE 802.3at (Po E+) with 30W power on all copper ports in 1 rack unit (RU) form factor - Cisco UPOE with 60W power per port in 1 rack unit (RU) form factor Software support for IPv 4 & IPv 6 routing, multicast routing, modular quality of service (Qo S), Flexible Net Flow (FNF), & enhanced security features Single universal Cisco IOS Software image across all license levels, providing an easy upgrade path for software features Enhanced limited lifetime warranty (E-LLW) with next business day (NBD) advance hardware replacement & 90-day access to Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) support
