WS-C3650-24PWD-S is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports and fixed fiber uplinks comprising two 10G SFP+ ports plus two 1G SFP ports. The Catalyst 3650 bundle combines IP Base wired routing with five AP licenses for integrated wireless controller operation in a 1U rack-mount chassis. Phones, wireless access points and other powered Ethernet endpoints share the switch's power allocation. The discontinued WS-C3650-24PWS-S sibling instead carries four Gigabit SFP uplinks. Native copper connections operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps. Wired and wireless traffic use a common forwarding architecture, with policy enforcement across both connection types. The bundled AP licensing distinguishes this configuration from a hardware-only PoE switch order.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S price for new stock is $9,621.15. WS-C3650-24PWD-S refurb price is $2,967.96. WS-C3650-24PWD-S is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

92 Gbps switching capacity supports local forwarding across the copper access and fixed uplink interfaces. 390W of shared PoE power allocates endpoint delivery across the powered ports. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access provide the included routing options; full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 are not included. WS-C3650-24PWD-S has 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash for operating software and configuration storage. The MAC table accommodates 32000 entries, while the 24000-entry IPv4 capacity covers ARP plus learned routes. Flexible NetFlow accommodates 24000 flows for traffic visibility, and 4094 VLAN IDs with 1000 SVIs support logical segmentation. Administrators use Cisco IOS XE CLI access and Cisco Prime Infrastructure for configuration and monitoring. RSTP and MSTP manage Layer 2 topologies; PBR and VRF-Lite provide traffic selection and separate routing contexts. Eight wired egress queues per port permit differentiated traffic handling.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S is offered new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; both conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty applies to the original owner, with service ending October 31, 2026. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify quantity, condition and accessories on the PO; for enterprise and volume Cisco Catalyst 3650 orders, ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a 5-building enterprise campus, IT teams deploy the WS-C3650-24PWD-S Catalyst 3650 24-Port PoE switch (IP Base) with 5 AP licenses to power and manage 20 Cisco Air-APs per building. Leveraging 2×10 Gb uplinks to the core fabric, the switch delivers seamless mobility, automated QoS for voice/video, and 30 W per port PoE+ to each access point. Outcome: simplified centralized management via Cisco DNA, 99.99% Wi-Fi uptime, and 50% faster guest onboarding while future-proofing for 802.11ac Wave 2 densification.
A global financial HQ integrates hundreds of IP phones, environmental sensors, and digital signage over a WS-C3650-24PWD-S Catalyst 3650 (IP Base) with 5 AP licenses. The 24 PoE+ ports supply up to 30 W per port to VoIP handsets and IoT devices, while built-in QoS and dynamic VLAN segmentation isolate voice, video, and sensor traffic. Dual 10 Gb uplinks ensure low-latency backhaul to the data center. Outcome: 40% reduction in cabling costs, real-time analytics for workspace utilization, and secure multi-tenant traffic separation.
A retail chain deploys the Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-24PWD-S (IP Base) with 5 AP licenses in each branch office to connect PoE surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi APs, and point-of-sale systems. The 24 PoE+ ports power devices, while two 10 Gb uplinks backhaul encrypted traffic to the corporate data center. Integrated Access Control (IACL) and Cisco TrustSec enforce policy across branches. Outcome: 60% faster failover, end-to-end encryption compliance, and centralized dashboard monitoring for consistent service levels.
A staging purchase for an existing converged-access network should distinguish local wireless control from mobility agent operation. Access point licenses can transfer between Catalyst 3650 switches, while mobility agent operation requires no AP license. Specify the required wireless role and confirm the AP entitlements being transferred before completing the purchase order.
A replacement joining an installed IP Base stack must match the stack's software feature set. Catalyst 3650 stacks do not mix LAN Base with IP Base or IP Services. Inventory existing members' software tiers and installed C3650-STACK-KIT= hardware, then specify matching entitlements before adding another member to the purchase order.
A branch rollout to cabinets at higher elevation needs altitude-aware thermal planning. The normal ambient ceiling is 40°C at 3000 m and 35°C at 4000 m; cold startup requires at least 0°C even though running operation extends below freezing. Confirm cabinet air temperature and elevation before specifying placement and site quantities.
Full enterprise routing without upgrades
IP Base includes OSPF for routed access, not full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 or IS-ISv4. Advanced routing requires IP Services rather than the included software tier.
Uplinks faster than 10G
The fixed uplinks stop at 10G, and the chassis has no removable uplink module bay. Faster uplinks require a different switch rather than an uplink-card upgrade.
Multigigabit copper endpoint connections
The copper access ports operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps, so 2.5G and 5G endpoint links cannot negotiate those speeds. Those endpoint requirements need a multigigabit switch.

WS-C3650-24PWD-S identifies a 24-port Catalyst 3650 PoE bundle with two 10G uplinks, five AP licenses and IP Base software. WS-C3650 names the family; 24 means 24 ports; P denotes PoE; W denotes the wireless-license bundle; D denotes the two 10G uplinks; S denotes IP Base.
The Catalyst 3650 is managed through the Cisco IOS XE CLI using console access, SSH or Telnet, with Cisco Prime Infrastructure for centralized wired and wireless management. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support monitoring; SSH and SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image for encrypted administrator access.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S bundles five AP licenses for mobility controller operation, while mobility agent operation does not require AP licenses. The included IP Base feature set supports both roles. Confirm the intended wireless role and the AP license entitlements included with the specific order before deployment.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S includes perpetual IP Base licensing; a subscription is not mandatory for its base switching features. LAN Base and IP Services are the other base tiers. Optional Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier subscription paths have a three-year minimum term; those term entitlements remain separate from the base license.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S provides a shared 390W PoE budget with its standard PWR-C2-640WAC, with 30W per powered port as the individual ceiling. Twenty-four ports simultaneously requesting 30W need 720W, exceeding the default allocation. Full-port PoE+ requires one PWR-C2-1025WAC= or a second PWR-C2-640WAC=.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S has two 10G SFP+ ports plus two 1G SFP ports, with fixed uplink architecture. The 10G cages also support Gigabit SFP operation, allowing four 1G fiber uplinks as an alternative configuration. Uplinks are built into the chassis; removable uplink cards are not part of this model.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S supports StackWise-160 with nine members and 160 Gbps stack bandwidth. Stacking requires optional C3650-STACK-KIT= hardware and matching feature sets. Select STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= according to cable distances between members; these are stack interconnects rather than Ethernet uplinks for connecting distribution equipment.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S supports Layer 3 routing with static routes, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access under IP Base. PBR and VRF-Lite are also included. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 require IP Services; the 24000-entry IPv4 capacity includes ARP plus learned routes and does not unlock those protocols.
The Catalyst 3650 24-port PoE switch ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC and accepts a second supply in an internal bay. Redundancy is optional rather than installed as standard. Keep the single PWR-C2-640WAC in bay 1, and specify an additional PWR-C2-640WAC= if dual-supply operation is required.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S occupies 1U in a full-width rack and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 448 mm deep, with a weight of 7.26 kg. RACK-KIT-T1= provides the rack-mount kit option, and 4PT-KIT-T1= provides four-point mounting rails and brackets. Confirm cabinet depth and included mounting hardware before ordering.
Yes, WS-C3650-24PWD-S is discontinued, with an end-of-sale date of October 31, 2021, and a last date of support of October 31, 2026. Cisco support remains subject to applicable warranty or service entitlements until that final date. No direct replacement bundle is available for this part number.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S provides PoE for attached endpoints, where WS-C3650-24TD-S provides data-only copper ports without endpoint power. Both are 24-port Catalyst 3650 variants with two 10G uplinks and IP Base. Both models are discontinued; the PoE bundle fits powered-endpoint requirements, while the data-only variant fits endpoints with separate power sources.
WS-C3650-24PD-E includes IP Services, where WS-C3650-24PWD-S includes IP Base. IP Services adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 rather than IP Base's routed-access OSPF. Both models are discontinued; advanced-routing requirements distinguish IP Services buyers from buyers retaining IP Base for routed access and its included protocol set.
WS-C3650-24PWD-S offers two 10G uplinks, where WS-C3650-24PWS-S carries four 1G uplinks. Both bundles include 24 PoE access ports, five AP licenses and IP Base. Both are discontinued; the 10G variant fits links requiring higher uplink speed, while the four-1G variant fits existing Gigabit fiber connections and their port requirements.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-24PWD-S new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is separate, applies to the original owner and ends no later than October 31, 2026.
