Campus Wi-Fi 6 Multi-Gig Distribution with WS-C3650-12X48UR-S
In a large enterprise campus, IT teams deploy the WS-C3650-12X48UR-S-Catalyst 3650 48-Port mGig switch in the distribution layer to aggregate 12 multi-gigabit 802.11ax access points and 36 PoE+ endpoints. Eight 10G SFP+ uplinks connect to the core, delivering up to 2.5 Gbps per AP, VLAN-based segmentation and seamless roaming. Benefit: Future-proofed Wi-Fi 6 performance, automated policy enforcement via Cisco DNA Center, and simplified operations with IP Base routing.
Unified Communications Backbone for Corporate Headquarters
At a global corporate HQ, the WS-C3650-12X48UR-S serves each wiring closet by powering 48 IP phones, video conferencing codecs and wireless bridging devices over mGig PoE++ ports. Dual 8×10G uplinks to the distribution layer enable QoS-enabled, low-latency voice and video traffic; VRF-lite enforces guest and voice/data separation. Benefit: Consistent call quality, streamlined cabling, high availability and scalable VoIP/UC deployment under a single Catalyst platform.
Industrial IoT Edge Aggregation in Smart Manufacturing
In a smart factory environment, operations deploy the WS-C3650-12X48UR-S at the plant edge to aggregate 48 PoE-powered cameras, sensors and automated guided vehicles over mGig ports. Eight 10G fiber uplinks transport real-time telemetry to the analytics cluster. Integrated ACLs and QoS guarantee deterministic control-plane performance for safety and production systems. Benefit: Enhanced security segmentation, sub-millisecond latency for industrial control, reduced unplanned downtime and seamless integration with Cisco SD-Access.
