WS-C3650-24PS-L is a managed Layer 2+ enterprise access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The rack-mount 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series and ships with LAN Base for access-layer switching. IP phones, wireless access points and wired workstations connect at the access edge, with compatible powered endpoints receiving electricity over their network connections. Unlike the discontinued WS-C3650-24TS-L, this model provides powered access ports rather than data-only connections. Its fixed fiber uplink architecture has no removable network-module bay, so uplink speed is selected with the chassis rather than changed through an add-in card. This 24-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch fits an existing enterprise access design that retains Gigabit distribution connections and requires endpoint power.
WS-C3650-24PS-L price for new stock is $2,632.35. WS-C3650-24PS-L refurb price is $147.68. WS-C3650-24PS-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

92 Gbps switching capacity defines the standalone switching envelope, while 41.66 Mpps forwarding capacity supports packet-rate sizing for this configuration. Limited static IPv4 routing complements access switching; routed-access OSPF belongs to IP Base, while full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 require IP Services. Cisco UADP handles forwarding, with 32000 MAC entries available for connected devices. WS-C3650-24PS-L has 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash for operating software and local image storage. Hardware route scale totals 24000 ARP and learned entries, distinct from the routing features enabled by the purchased license. Optional StackWise-160 provides 160 Gbps of stack throughput. RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 topology, while cross-stack EtherChannel permits links across members. Three modular fans cool the chassis, and a second internal bay enables optional power redundancy. The 65.9W consumption figure represents full-traffic operation without PoE loading, not total draw with powered endpoints.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3650-24PS-L new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantities and required accessories on the purchase order. PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume orders, with regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a 300-user corporate HQ, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 24 Port PoE LAN Base powers 200 VoIP phones and 20 wireless access points over 24 RJ-45 ports with PoE+ and delivers four 1 Gbps uplinks for seamless aggregation. This deployment simplifies cabling, enforces QoS for crystal-clear voice, and unifies wired and wireless management via Cisco DNA, boosting operational efficiency and reducing deployment time by 40%.
A mid-sized manufacturing plant deploys 24 PoE IP cameras and badge readers across two production halls, leveraging the Catalyst 3650’s 370 W PoE budget and four 1 Gbps uplinks to a central NVR and access-control servers. The LAN Base feature set delivers secure VLAN segmentation, uninterrupted power for critical cameras, and real-time monitoring, reducing security blind spots and maintenance overhead by 50%.
A retail chain equips 15 branch stores with the Cisco 3650 24 Port PoE switch to power digital signage, PoS terminals, and RFID scanners on a single platform. Four 1 Gbps uplinks connect to a regional data center, while Cisco Auto SmartPorts and VLAN trunking ensure rapid onboarding and secure segmentation of store networks. Outcome: 30% faster store rollout, centralized management, and improved upsell conversion rates.
An existing switch stack needs another member without creating a separate management endpoint. Stack members share one management IP address and a common CLI, but physical reach still determines cable selection. Specify STACK-T2-1M= for one-meter links or STACK-T2-3M= for three-meter links after measuring the intended path.
An unheated branch cabinet can be within the operating range yet too cold for an initial start. Cold starting requires an ambient temperature of at least 0°C. Include CAB-TA-NA= for a US AC connection and confirm the startup environment and power-cord requirement before releasing the purchase order.
Lab staging can expose a licensing mismatch before equipment enters a production stack. Evaluation licenses expire after 90 days of in-use operation and are separate from permanent entitlements. Record the required software tier and evaluation end date, then verify the purchased license state before approving staged units for deployment.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C3650-24PS-L has fixed 1G uplinks without an upgradeable uplink module bay. C9300L-24P-4X-E retains 24 powered access ports while providing four 10G uplinks.
Mixed Catalyst 3850 stack membership
Catalyst 3650 cannot share a hardware stack with Catalyst 3850. WS-C3650-24PS-L therefore cannot expand an existing Catalyst 3850 stack as another member.
Cisco service beyond October 2026
Cisco support for WS-C3650-24PS-L ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-24P-4G-E is its replacement and retains 24 powered access ports and four 1G uplinks.

WS-C3650-24PS-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 switch with 24 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, four 1G uplinks and LAN Base. The WS-C3650 prefix identifies the family; 24 denotes access-port count, P identifies PoE+, S selects four Gigabit uplinks, and L selects LAN Base. The chassis supports optional stacking.
WS-C3650-24PS-L is managed through the web UI, console CLI, SSH or Telnet CLI, SNMP, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, NETCONF and RESTCONF. The web UI cannot install, upgrade or downgrade device software on Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.8.x, so use the CLI for those software changes.
WS-C3650-24PS-L reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022; security support ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-24P-4G-E is the replacement, rather than an extension of the older switch's support period.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-24PS-L new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty applies to the original owner, with service ending October 31, 2026. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
WS-C3650-24PS-L carries permanent LAN Base; optional Cisco DNA Essentials or Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions start at three years. DNA Essentials accepts LAN Base, while DNA Advantage needs IP Base or IP Services. Subscription expiration does not expire the permanent base license; use a Smart Account to track term entitlements.
WS-C3650-24PS-L provides a shared 390W PoE budget with its supplied PWR-C2-640WAC, with 30W maximum per PoE+ port. All 24 ports at 30W require 720W, so full-port PoE+ calls for one PWR-C2-1025WAC or two PWR-C2-640WAC supplies. Allocate the default budget across connected endpoints before ordering.
WS-C3650-24PS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplink ports, not 10G SFP+ uplinks. The uplinks are built into the chassis and cannot be changed by installing a network module. Specify compatible Gigabit SFP transceivers for planned fiber links and confirm their inclusion in the equipment order.
Catalyst 3650 supports nine-member stacks through optional StackWise-160, with 160 Gbps stack throughput. WS-C3650-24PS-L requires LAN Base partners. Specify C3650-STACK-KIT= when stacking hardware is absent and STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= for interconnects. Stack members must match software tier; Catalyst 3850 members are not compatible.
WS-C3650-24PS-L supports limited static IPv4 routing under LAN Base; the supplied tier is not IP Services. IP Base provides routed-access OSPF, while IP Services adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4. The 24000-entry hardware total includes ARP plus learned routes and does not enable every routing feature.
WS-C3650-24PS-L ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC AC power supply and has a second internal bay for an optional supply. AC input is 100-240V, and redundancy is not included by default. A second PWR-C2-640WAC can be specified separately; confirm the installed supply configuration when selecting condition and accessories.
WS-C3650-24PS-L has 24 PoE+ access ports, whereas WS-C3650-24TS-L has 24 data-only access ports. Their four 1G uplinks and LAN Base tier match. Both models are discontinued: the powered model matches legacy phone or access-point connections, while the data-only model matches existing deployments whose endpoints use independent power.
WS-C3650-24PS-S ships with IP Base, whereas WS-C3650-24PS-L ships with LAN Base. The IP Base variant adds routed-access OSPF and supports 4094 VLANs rather than LAN Base's 255. Both are discontinued: LAN Base matches existing basic-access deployments, while IP Base matches legacy routed-access configurations and their software requirements.
C9300L-24P-4G-E replaces the discontinued WS-C3650-24PS-L while retaining 24 powered access ports and four 1G uplinks. WS-C3650-24PS-L reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. The older part matches exact-model legacy sparing; the replacement is the migration choice.
