WS-C3650-48PQ-L Use Case
High-Density Campus Edge for Smart Buildings
In a university smart campus deployment, network engineers install the WS-C3650-48PQ-L Catalyst 3650 48-port PoE switch at each building edge to power 40+ access points, IP cameras and digital signage. Leveraging 740W PoE budget and 4×10G uplinks, the switch aggregates traffic into the core network with wire-rate performance. Outcome: streamlined network operations, consistent wireless coverage and simplified PoE management—delivering up to 60% faster rollout of smart-building services.
Unified Communications in Mid-Size Enterprise HQ
A mid-size financial firm deploys the Catalyst 3650 48-port PoE (WS-C3650-48PQ-L) in its headquarters to power 200 IP phones, video conferencing endpoints and security sensors. Advanced QoS and Cisco TrustSec segmentation ensure voice, video and data traffic maintain priority across 4×10G uplinks to the data center. Outcome: crystal-clear voice quality, sub-50ms jitter and a 30% reduction in cabling complexity with centralized PoE control.
Resilient Industrial IoT Aggregation
In a manufacturing plant, IT teams use the Catalyst 3650 48-port PoE LAN Base switch to aggregate industrial IoT sensors, barcode scanners and edge compute nodes across a production floor. The switch’s redundant power supplies and 4×10G uplinks provide high availability and low-latency connectivity to the factory’s SCADA system. Outcome: 99.99% network uptime, real-time device telemetry and 40% faster provisioning of new IoT endpoints.
