WS-C3650-8X24PD-L combines eight multigigabit PoE+ downlinks with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks in a 1U rack-mount access switch. The faster copper ports negotiate 100Mbps, 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G, while two fixed SFP+ uplinks connect to distribution at 10G without an uplink expansion card. LAN Base provides Layer 2 switching with limited static routing, placing this Catalyst 3650 model at the enterprise access edge for powered access points and wired endpoints. The discontinued WS-C3650-8X24UQ-L sibling supports Cisco UPOE rather than PoE+. The mixed downlink configuration distinguishes this switch from models providing Gigabit Ethernet throughout: faster endpoint connections occupy the multigigabit ports, while conventional wired devices use the remaining access connections.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L price for new stock is $2,881.20, a 71.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $10,237.00. WS-C3650-8X24PD-L refurb price is $1,824.90. WS-C3650-8X24PD-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

254 Gbps switching capacity sets the standalone fabric ceiling for access-to-uplink traffic. 172.61 Mpps forwarding provides the packet-processing limit for traffic sizing. 435W of shared PoE budget requires endpoint allocation rather than an assumption of maximum draw everywhere. WS-C3650-8X24PD-L uses the UADP ASIC with 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of flash for forwarding control and local software storage. The MAC table holds 32000 entries, while LAN Base supports 255 VLANs. RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree control, and MQC-based QoS applies queuing, policing and shaping. The separate Ethernet management interface keeps administration distinct from endpoint connections. 111.5W consumption at full traffic excludes PoE loading, so electrical planning must account separately for powered devices. OSPF and BGP are not included in the supplied software tier.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L is offered new sealed or certified refurbished: ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the PO; eligible original-owner Cisco enhanced limited lifetime coverage ends October 31, 2026. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, offer Net-30 for government, and include RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a large enterprise campus deployment, the WS-C3650-8X24PD-L provides 24-port multigigabit PoE+ to power high-density 802.11ac Wave 2 access points and IP phones, while dual 10G uplinks aggregate traffic to core switches. The result is seamless, scalable wireless and voice convergence with simplified LAN Base management and predictable PoE budgeting.
A multi-site retail chain uses the Catalyst 3650 24-port mGig LAN Base switch at remote stores to deliver POS, video surveillance, and guest Wi-Fi across 24 PoE+ ports, with dual 10G SFP+ uplinks connecting back to the regional data center. This architecture ensures low-latency transactions, centralized policy enforcement, and high availability for critical business applications.
In a smart manufacturing plant, the WS-C3650-8X24PD-L is deployed to power and segregate industrial sensors, cameras, and automation controllers using multigigabit PoE+ and advanced VLAN/QoS features. This approach delivers granular network segmentation, end-to-end power monitoring, and real-time data prioritization, driving operational efficiency and robust security compliance.
When a wiring closet is adding higher-speed access points while retaining existing copper runs, cable qualification determines the port plan. Multigigabit links support 2.5G and 5G over Category 5e, while 10G uses Category 6a. Specify cable grades and endpoint link requirements before the PO.
When an existing access stack needs another member, shared control behavior matters alongside hardware compatibility. StackWise-160 elects an active switch and a standby, with the stack managed through one IP address. Confirm the new unit's software level and the existing stack's membership before specifying the expansion order.
When replacement units are configured on a staging bench, the USB mini-Type B console takes input priority over the RJ-45 console. The USB connection uses a five-pin connector, and Windows hosts require a driver. Specify the console connection and verify workstation readiness before the staging order.
Cisco UPOE for powered endpoints
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L provides PoE+, not Cisco UPOE. C9300L-24UXG-4X-E adds Cisco UPOE while retaining 24 access ports, but changes the uplink configuration to four fixed 10G connections.
Four simultaneous 10G uplinks
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and no uplink expansion bay. C9300L-24UXG-4X-E provides four fixed 10G uplinks with 24 access ports and eight multigigabit connections.
Dynamic routing with the included license
LAN Base provides limited static routing, not OSPF or BGP. Routed access requires IP Base; full OSPF, EIGRP and BGP require the IP Services feature set.

WS-C3650-8X24PD-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 LAN Base switch: WS-C3650 is the family prefix, 8X identifies eight multigigabit ports, 24 identifies total access ports, and -L selects LAN Base. The PD configuration provides PoE+ access and two 10G uplinks, with sixteen remaining access ports operating at 10/100/1000Mbps.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L supports browser-based Device Manager, Cisco IOS CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Local administration uses RJ-45 or USB console connections. SSH and encrypted SNMPv3 require a cryptographic image; wireless Configuration Wizard functions require an upgrade beyond LAN Base to IP Base.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was October 31, 2021, and applicable support ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance releases ended October 31, 2022. Security support also ends October 31, 2026; C9300L-24UXG-4X-E is the migration replacement for purchases requiring a newer switch.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-8X24PD-L 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. Eligible original-owner Cisco enhanced limited lifetime coverage ends October 31, 2026, separately from ORM coverage.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L includes LAN Base and supports RTU upgrades to IP Base or IP Services. Optional Cisco DNA Advantage requires IP Base or IP Services and offers three- or five-year terms; Cisco DNA Premier provides alternative packaging. A Cisco DNA subscription is not required for the included LAN Base switching functions.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L provides a shared 435W PoE budget with its supplied PWR-C1-715WAC, and individual PoE+ ports support 30W. The budget does not support every access port drawing its per-port maximum simultaneously. Endpoint demand must be allocated across the available power rather than treating each port's maximum as independently available.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplink slots that also accept supported 1G SFP transceivers. The multigigabit model does not include the additional dedicated 1G SFP slots found on some other two-10G Catalyst 3650 configurations. Select compatible transceivers for the required speed and fiber connection.
Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stacks nine members and provides 160 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. LAN Base members cannot share a stack with IP Base or IP Services members. Stacking hardware includes C3650-STACK-KIT= and cable options STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M=; confirm their inclusion in the supplied configuration before ordering.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L ships with PWR-C1-715WAC and also supports PWR-C1-1100WAC in its internal supply bays. A second supply is optional rather than included as standard. When only one supply is installed, the supply belongs in bay 1; specify the additional supported supply separately when the order requires two installed supplies.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L supplies PoE+, whereas WS-C3650-8X24UQ-L supplies Cisco UPOE for higher-power endpoints. Both models are discontinued Catalyst 3650 configurations. The PoE+ model addresses existing installations using PoE+ endpoints; the UPOE model addresses legacy installations requiring Cisco UPOE. Neither should be treated as a current-generation replacement purchase.
WS-C3650-8X24PD-L includes LAN Base, while WS-C3650-8X24PD-S includes IP Base. LAN Base provides access switching and limited static routing; IP Base adds routed-access features, including OSPF for routed access. Both are discontinued. Legacy buyers maintaining a switching-only configuration use LAN Base; routed-access requirements call for IP Base.
C9300L-24UXG-4X-E provides four fixed 10G uplinks, whereas WS-C3650-8X24PD-L provides two. Both configurations have 24 access ports, including eight multigigabit ports. The discontinued Catalyst 3650 model retains the original two-uplink arrangement for legacy replacement needs; the Catalyst 9300L replacement accommodates buyers specifying four distribution-facing 10G connections.
No, WS-C3650-8X24PD-L does not include OSPF or BGP under LAN Base; the supplied tier provides limited static routing. IP Base adds OSPF for routed access. Full OSPF, EIGRP and BGP require IP Services, so a routing requirement must be matched to the activated software tier rather than the hardware alone.
