WS-C3650-48FD-S Use Case
Campus Wireless Access and PoE Device Consolidation
In a large university campus deployment, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 48-port Full PoE switch delivers 740W of PoE power for Wi-Fi 6 access points, VoIP phones and security cameras, while its dual 10G uplinks aggregate traffic to the core network. Leveraging IP Base Layer 3 routing and QoS, IT teams implement dynamic VLAN segmentation and apply traffic prioritization for real-time voice and video. Outcome: seamless high-density wireless coverage, single-pane PoE management, and predictable application performance across 48 endpoints.
Branch Office Consolidation with Secure IP Routing
A multinational retailer standardizes branch office networking on Cisco Catalyst 3650 48-port Full PoE switches to power IP telephony systems, surveillance cameras and access control readers. Built-in IP Base routing supports OSPF stub areas and static routes, simplifying WAN connectivity to regional data centers. With advanced security features—dynamic ARP inspection, DHCP snooping and ACL enforcement—the solution protects against lateral threats. Outcome: reduced rack footprint, lower capital and operational costs, and a hardened network edge with deterministic performance.
Industrial IoT and Surveillance Edge Aggregation
In a manufacturing plant, the Catalyst 3650 48-port Full PoE switch powers industrial sensors, PLCs and HD security cameras on the factory floor. Its robust 10G uplinks feed real-time video streams and telemetry into the SCADA system, while sFlow analytics and embedded IOS XE enable proactive monitoring and automated remediation. Outcome: converged industrial and security network with high-availability uplinks, centralized management, granular traffic visibility and zero-touch device onboarding.
