WS-C3650-24PDM-L Use Case
Enterprise Branch PoE Deployment for IP Telephony and Wireless Access
A regional sales office integrates 24 IP phones and two 802.11ac wireless access points over PoE, leveraging the WS-C3650-24PDM-L’s 370W power budget to eliminate separate AC wiring. Outcome: streamlined deployment, centralized power management and consistent voice/Wi-Fi quality with Cisco LAN Base security and QoS enforcement.
Stackable Campus Access Layer with High-Availability Uplinks
A university campus stacks three Catalyst 3650 switches per building using FlexStack-Plus and configures dual 10G SFP+ uplinks to the core. Outcome: single-point management, sub-second failover and scalable port density that ensures uninterrupted connectivity for 5,000+ students and staff.
Converged SMB Data Center Access with 10G Uplink Aggregation
A small data center consolidates rack servers and storage arrays on the WS-C3650-24PDM-L, using dual 10G uplinks to feed a core distribution switch and implementing VLAN-based segmentation. Outcome: low-latency east-west traffic, enhanced security zones, and future-ready 10G bandwidth for virtualization and backup workloads.
