Cisco Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-24PWS-S 24-Port GbE PoE+ Stackable Switch | Wty
Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-24PWS-S — 24-Port GbE UPOE Stackable Layer 3 Switch
The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-24PWS-S is a 1U stackable enterprise switch featuring 24 × 10/100/1000 UPOE ports (up to 60 W per port), 4 × 1G SFP uplinks, StackWise-160 stacking (up to 9 switches), and full Layer 3 routing with IP Base IOS. Designed for demanding wiring closets deploying high-power 802.11ac Wave 2 APs and video surveillance. Backed by a full 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
- UPOE (60 W per port): Universal PoE delivers up to 60 W per access port — powering high-performance 802.11ac Wave 2 APs, PTZ cameras, and video endpoints that exceed the 30 W 802.3at PoE+ limit
- StackWise-160 stacking: Up to 9 switches form a single logical unit with 160 Gbps stack bandwidth — expand port count and PoE budget without multiplying management overhead
- Layer 3 routing: IP Base IOS includes static routing, RIPv2, OSPF, and EIGRP — inter-VLAN routing at the access layer reduces reliance on a separate distribution switch in smaller deployments
- 4 SFP uplinks: Four 1G SFP slots connect to the distribution layer via fibre or copper with options for uplink redundancy and link aggregation (LACP)
- Integrated wireless controller: Embedded Cisco WLC supports Cisco lightweight APs — enables converged wired/wireless management on the same platform without a separate controller appliance
- Enterprise security: 802.1X, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and ACLs provide comprehensive access-layer security at every port
Performance in Use
In a modern enterprise wiring closet, the WS-C3650-24PWS-S powers next-generation 802.11ac Wave 2 access points that require UPOE (60 W) to operate at full 4 × 4 MIMO capacity. The integrated wireless controller eliminates a separate WLC appliance in medium-density wireless deployments, reducing both cost and management complexity while providing centralised AP provisioning and SSID policy enforcement.
StackWise-160 allows multiple 3650 switches to present as a single logical device — useful for large open-plan floors or multi-floor wiring closets that need a unified switching domain. A 9-switch stack scales to 216 UPOE access ports while still appearing as one unit in Cisco's management tools, simplifying VLAN, QoS, and security policy deployment.
For network engineers building certification lab environments, the 3650-24PWS-S supports the full range of CCNP and CCIE Enterprise access layer scenarios: VLAN design, 802.1X authentication, QoS classification, Layer 3 routing, stacking, and converged wired/wireless management — all from one platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UPOE and how is it different from PoE+?
Standard PoE+ (802.3at) delivers up to 30 W per port. Cisco UPOE doubles this to 60 W by using both conductor pairs in the Ethernet cable. This is required for high-performance 802.11ac Wave 2 APs, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, and powered video endpoints that exceed the 802.3at limit.
How many switches can be stacked together?
Up to 9 Catalyst 3650 switches can be combined in a StackWise-160 stack, presenting as a single logical switch. Mixed-port-count models (3650-24 and 3650-48) can be stacked together on the same stack ring.
Does this switch support 10G uplinks?
No — the WS-C3650-24PWS-S has four 1G SFP uplinks. If 10 GbE uplinks are required, consider the WS-C3650-24PD-S, which includes two 10G SFP+ uplink ports.
Is this suitable for CCNP Enterprise lab use?
Yes — the 3650 is an excellent CCNP and CCIE Enterprise access layer platform supporting stacking, Layer 3 access routing, QoS, 802.1X, and converged wireless management — all key exam topics.
What warranty is included?
A 12-month Reboot IT warranty covers all hardware components from the date of purchase.
