Transceiver and Cabling Solutions for Cisco 3850 Series Switch

Transceiver optics and cables are necessary accessories to Cisco 3850 switch series, and they play an important role in the fiber cabling infrastructure, this article will introduce the 3rd party compatible optical transceiver and cabling solutions for Cisco 3850 switch.

Cisco 3850 Series Switch Overview

The Cisco 3850 series switches contain switches for any network configuration, with over 30 models available. With this access switch, prepare for the second generation of 802.11ac technology and other new technologies that are available and will be emerging in the future. The stacked Catalyst 3850 Series multi-gigabit and 10-Gbps network switches enable the convergence of wired and wireless networks, giving you the ability to extend and protect your investment.

Cisco 3850 Series Switch Features

• Integration of wired and wireless networks The Catalyst 3850 switch provides intelligent, simple and highly secure converged access through an integrated wireless controller. Each switching entity (switch or stack) supports up to 100 wireless access points and 2000 wireless clients. • PoE, PoE +, and UPOE Power your solution with support for PoE and PoE + (up to 30W of power per port) or support for UPOE (60W power per port). In this way, you do not need to use additional electrical wiring and circuitry to power the wireless access point and IP phone. Increase the ability to power the solution. • Effective security protection Get support for Flexible NetFlow, Cisco TrustSec, and MACsec encryption. Use the network as a safety sensor and actuator.
