Key features of the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series include Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, which allows the switches to deliver up to 30W of power per port to connected devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points. This makes them perfect for businesses looking to simplify their infrastructure and reduce the need for separate power sources.

These switches offer advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, supporting protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, as well as multicast routing. The Catalyst 3650 also supports advanced security features, including 802.1X authentication, MAC filtering, port security, and dynamic ARP inspection to protect against network attacks.

The StackWise-160 technology enables the stacking of up to 9 switches, providing higher bandwidth (up to 160 Gbps) for seamless network expansion and easier management. Additionally, with the Cisco StackPower technology, power can be shared across stacked switches, ensuring continuous uptime.

For organizations focused on network performance and reliability, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series offers quality of service (QoS) features, allowing prioritized delivery of time-sensitive traffic like VoIP and video. Its advanced management tools, including support for Cisco IOS Software, a web-based GUI, and CLI, simplify the configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of network operations.

Designed for maximum uptime and redundancy, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series offers optional redundant power supplies, fanless options for noise-sensitive environments, and a lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
