Connectivity and Cabling Solutions for Cisco Catalyst 3650 Switches

Catalyst 3650

The Cisco Catalyst 3650 is a cutting-edge convergence product of Cisco switching technologies that creates high-performance devices for consolidating WAN and WiFi networks onto a unified platform. The Catalyst 3650 switch line supports up to 40Gbps of wireless capacity per switch, with optional stacking technology delivering up to 160Gbps of throughput with four stacked units. Transceivers and cables are necessary accessories to Cisco Catalyst 3650 switch series, and they play an important role in the fiber cabling infrastructure, this article focuses on offering compatible optical transceiver connectivity and cabling solutions for Cisco Catalyst 3650 switches.

Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switch Overview

The Cisco® Catalyst® 3650 Series is the next generation of enterprise access layer switches that support standalone and stacked deployments. It can lay the foundation for a complete convergence of wired and wireless on a single platform. Built on the advanced Cisco StackWise®-160, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 incorporates the new Cisco Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This switch enables unified wired and wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, application optimization, and superior resiliency. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches fully support IEEE 802.3at Enhanced Power over Ethernet (PoE +) with modular, redundant fans and power supplies that are field-replaceable. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series switches, which are no more than 12 inches deep, are easily deployed in narrow wiring closets where switches are limited in depth in remote branch offices and offices. This range of switches helps you reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) while improving wireless productivity.
