Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches

Sourcing mission-critical hardware shouldn't mean gambling on auction sites or automated shopping carts. You get direct access to dedicated specialists who answer the phone, confirm exact compatibility, and deliver project-ready pricing built around your deployment timeline.

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series is a family of one-rack-unit stackable switches for wired and wireless access. Copper models have 24 or 48 ports in data (T), PoE+ (P), full PoE+ (F, 48 ports) and Cisco UPOE (U) form, and the XU and 12X48U models add 100 Mbps and 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps Multigigabit ports. Fiber models have 12 or 24 SFP ports, 12 or 24 SFP+ ports, or the 48XS with 48 SFP+ and four QSFP+ ports. A model number ends in -L for LAN Base, -S for IP Base or -E for IP Services, and the WS-C3850-16XS and WS-C3850-32XS models ship with an uplink module installed. A switch or stack can act as a wireless controller for up to 100 access points and 2000 wireless clients.

Uplinks are optional network modules: C3850-NM-4-1G, C3850-NM-2-10G, C3850-NM-4-10G, C3850-NM-8-10G and C3850-NM-2-40G, plus a C3850-NM-BLANK for an empty slot. Cisco matches modules to models. The C3850-NM-4-1G and C3850-NM-2-10G fit the copper models and the 12 and 24 port SFP models. The C3850-NM-4-10G also fits the 48-port copper models, the Multigigabit models, the 12XS and the 24XS. The C3850-NM-8-10G and C3850-NM-2-40G fit only the Multigigabit models and the 24XS, and the 48XS takes no module.

Each switch has two power supply bays and ships with one supply fitted. That is the PWR-C1-350WAC on the data models, the SFP models and the 12XS, the PWR-C1-715WAC on the PoE+ models and the 24XS, and the PWR-C1-1100WAC on the full PoE+, UPOE and Multigigabit models. A 440 W DC supply fits any model, and the 48XS uses PWR-C3-750WAC supplies with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. Stacking uses StackWise-480 with STACK-T1 cables for up to nine switches, and StackPower with CAB-SPWR cables joins up to four. The 48XS supports neither, and every switch in a stack needs the same feature set.

The Cisco 3650 page covers the fixed-uplink Catalyst family, and Catalyst 3850 network modules are also supported in the Cisco 9300. More Cisco gear is under networking, and the Cisco switch category holds the other switch parts.
