WS-C3650-24PWS-S combines 24 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and IP Base Layer 3 functionality in a 1U rack-mount chassis. Five bundled access point licenses distinguish this configuration for legacy Converged Access installations running compatible software. The Catalyst 3650 serves enterprise access networks connecting workstations, IP phones and wireless access points. WS-C3650-24TS-S differs by providing non-PoE access ports; that sibling is also discontinued. The fixed uplink architecture cannot accept a removable network module, so higher uplink speeds require different hardware rather than an uplink-card addition.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S price for new stock is $2,740.50, a 57.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $6,440.00. WS-C3650-24PWS-S refurb price is $2,462.29. WS-C3650-24PWS-S is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

92 Gbps switching capacity and 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate define the forwarding performance available for access traffic. 390W of shared PoE power requires allocation across connected endpoints rather than simultaneous maximum output from every powered port. OSPF for routed access, EIGRP Stub, Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng and PBR provide the included routing options; full EIGRP and BGPv4 require IP Services. WS-C3650-24PWS-S uses the UADP ASIC, with 4 GB DRAM and 2 GB flash supporting software operation and storage. The 32000-entry MAC table and 24000-entry IPv4 route total provide separate switching and routing scale limits. A 65.9W consumption figure applies to testing at full traffic without PoE loading, not total consumption with powered endpoints. Device Manager provides browser-based configuration, while console access and remote CLI sessions support command-level administration.
Specify WS-C3650-24PWS-S in new sealed or certified refurbished condition and identify required accessories before submitting the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. ORM Systems provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns for every condition; terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA with advance replacement and regional stock/RMA cover UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a 100‐seat branch office, the WS-C3650-24PWS-S Catalyst 3650 24-Port PoE+ switch with 4×1 Gig uplinks and five AP licenses (IP Base) powers IP phones and access points from a single chassis. Integrated QoS and Cisco Unified Access ensure priority for voice and Wi-Fi traffic, while Cisco DNA Center automation drives zero-touch deployment. Outcome: simplified operations, end-to-end service assurance, and 99.99% uptime.
A university lab wing deploys the WS-C3650-24PWS-S Catalyst 3650 24-Port PoE+ switch to support five high-performance APs and future wireless growth. With four 1 Gig uplinks and Cisco IOS IP Base security, the solution segments student, faculty, and guest traffic with robust ACLs and WPA3 encryption. Outcome: seamless roaming, predictable Wi-Fi performance in lecture halls, and centralized policy enforcement.
A multi-store retailer uses the WS-C3650-24PWS-S Catalyst 3650 24-Port PoE+ switch to power PoS terminals, barcode scanners, and four HD PoE cameras, plus one wireless AP. Cisco IOS IP Base features provide VLAN segmentation and dynamic ARP inspection to secure payments and video feeds. Outcome: consolidated infrastructure, real-time threat prevention, and rapid fault isolation for uninterrupted store operations.
An existing branch rollout using copper cabling must keep each Gigabit Ethernet connection within 100 m. Category 5, Category 5e or Category 6 UTP supports these access connections. Measure planned cable runs and specify the required cabling category before releasing the purchase order.
When an existing IP Base stack needs another member, confirm matching license levels and compatible software before ordering. Include C3650-STACK-KIT= where stacking adapters are absent, then specify STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cables according to member spacing. Check the existing stack configuration before the purchase order.
When preparing a managed spare on a bench, USB console input takes priority over the RJ-45 console connection. The two console connections cannot accept input simultaneously. Identify the terminal connection that staging personnel will use and specify the necessary console cabling before submitting the purchase order.
10G uplinks to distribution
The four fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G, and no removable uplink-module bay is available. A 10G distribution connection requires different switch hardware.
60W power for individual endpoints
PoE+ output is limited to 30W per port. Increasing the total power allocation does not turn these access ports into 60W Cisco UPOE ports.
BGPv4 or full EIGRP routing
IP Base does not enable BGPv4 or full EIGRP routing. These capabilities require IP Services, so specify the required software entitlement rather than expecting hardware accessories to unlock them.
Integrated wireless control beyond Denali
Converged Access is not supported beyond Cisco IOS XE Denali 16.3.x. The bundled access point licenses do not restore integrated wireless controller functionality on later releases.

WS-C3650-24PWS-S identifies a Catalyst 3650 wireless-license bundle: WS-C3650 names the family, 24 indicates the port count, P denotes PoE, W denotes the five-access-point-license bundle, the following S identifies four 1G uplinks, and the final -S specifies IP Base. The Gigabit access ports support PoE+.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S supports Device Manager through a browser, the wireless Configuration Wizard, CLI through USB or RJ-45 console, remote Telnet or SSH, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SSH requires the cryptographic software image. Wireless configuration functions depend on running a release that supports Converged Access.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S includes permanent IP Base licensing; optional Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions offer three- or five-year terms, while Cisco DNA Premier is a separate term package. The minimum listed DNA Advantage term is three years. An IP Services upgrade uses L-C3650-24-S-E and requires license activation.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S provides a shared 390W PoE allocation with PWR-C2-640WAC, and individual PoE+ ports support 30W. Maximum output on every powered port requires another power configuration. One PWR-C2-1025WAC or two PWR-C2-640WAC supplies support full-port PoE+ operation; size the order against actual endpoint demand.
The WS-C3650-24PWS-S Catalyst 3650 wireless-license bundle provides four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ uplinks. The chassis has no removable uplink-module bay. Match the transceiver selection to the fiber connection and link requirements; replacing optics does not increase the fixed uplink speed.
Yes, WS-C3650-24PWS-S supports StackWise-160 stacks of nine members with matching license levels and compatible software. Catalyst 3650 and Catalyst 3850 cannot share a stack. Specify C3650-STACK-KIT= when adapters are absent and select STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cables for the required spacing.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S includes Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub, OSPF for routed access and PBR under IP Base. Full EIGRP, BGPv4 and full OSPF require IP Services. The 24000-entry IPv4 total includes ARP plus learned routes and is not an unrestricted OSPF license allowance.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S ships with PWR-C2-640WAC, while the second internal power position is available for an optional supply. Redundancy is therefore optional rather than included as standard. Specify a compatible second supply when required, and distinguish additional endpoint power capacity from power available after a supply failure.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was October 31, 2021, and the last date of support is October 31, 2026. Cisco service is unavailable after that support cutoff. No direct replacement is named for this bundle, so a hardware-only successor should not be treated as an identical licensed configuration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-24PWS-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is separate, subject to eligibility, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S powers endpoints through PoE+, while WS-C3650-24TS-S is non-PoE; both models are discontinued. The powered configuration addresses phones or access points drawing switch power. The data-only configuration addresses separately powered endpoints, making the existing installation's endpoint power requirement the deciding factor for a legacy spare.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S carries IP Base, whereas WS-C3650-24PS-E carries IP Services; both models are discontinued. IP Services enables full EIGRP, full OSPF and BGPv4 rather than the restricted routing capabilities included with IP Base. IP Base addresses routed-access requirements; IP Services addresses deployments needing those advanced routing protocols.
WS-C3650-24PWS-S has four 1G uplinks, while WS-C3650-24PWD-S provides two 10G uplinks; both wireless-license bundles are discontinued. The former matches existing Gigabit distribution connections. The latter matches legacy installations requiring 10G uplink connectivity, so confirm distribution port speeds and existing link hardware before specifying a spare.
