WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E combines eight multigigabit copper access ports with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports in a managed Layer 3 access switch. All 24 access ports support Cisco UPOE, and four built-in 10G SFP+ uplinks connect the access layer to distribution. The full-width 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Catalyst 3650 family and ships with IP Services for advanced enterprise routing. This 24-port multigigabit Cisco UPOE switch accommodates faster wireless access points alongside phones, workstations, and other powered endpoints, allowing the faster connections to be assigned where required. The discontinued WS-C3650-8X24PD-E differs on endpoint power, providing PoE+ rather than Cisco UPOE. That distinction matters when matching replacement hardware to an existing endpoint list containing devices that need more than PoE+ permits.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E price for new stock is $9,129.75, a 48% saving from the Cisco list price of $17,560.00. WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E refurb price is $1,884.75. WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

272 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for mixed-speed access traffic, while 202.38 Mpps forwarding capacity sets the packet-processing scale for this configuration. 820W of endpoint power is shared across the powered ports, requiring demand allocation rather than maximum output everywhere. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 enable advanced IPv4 routing; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. PIM-SM and PIM-DM support multicast distribution, while LACP groups links and RSTP/MSTP handle spanning-tree convergence. WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E carries 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of flash for system operation and software storage. The UADP ASIC supplies hardware-based forwarding and QoS processing. A 32000-entry MAC table supports endpoint learning, and the 24000-entry IPv4 scale includes ARP plus learned routes rather than learned routes alone. Browser-based administration and the CLI provide individual switch management, with Cisco Prime Infrastructure available for centralized wired and wireless administration. The chassis has no removable uplink network-module bay.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E new sealed and certified refurbished; 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.

Scenario: A large university campus requires high-speed access for research labs, digital classrooms and student devices. The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E (24-port mGig, 4×10G uplink, IP Base) delivers multigigabit throughput at the edge and can be stacked up to nine units for seamless aggregation. Benefit: Achieve up to 2.5× faster access speeds, enforce advanced QoS and security policies via Cisco IOS XE, and simplify management—ensuring scalable, low-latency campus connectivity.
Scenario: A global enterprise deploys unified communications, Wi-Fi6 APs and IP phones across 50 branch sites. The WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E switch provides 24-port multigigabit PoE+, 4×10G uplinks and Cisco IP Base feature set to aggregate voice, video and data traffic. Benefit: Deliver reliable voice/video traffic with granular QoS, power APs and phones with a 445 W PoE budget, segment traffic with Cisco TrustSec, and maintain zero-impact upgrades using StackWise Plus stacking.
Scenario: A manufacturing plant integrates hundreds of IoT sensors, AMRs (Automated Mobile Robots) and high-resolution cameras requiring sub-millisecond latency and reliable power. The Cisco Catalyst 3650-8X24UQ-E-C3650 switch offers 24 multigigabit PoE+ ports, 4×10G uplinks and IP Base services to deliver edge connectivity. Benefit: Ensure deterministic performance (<1 ms latency), centralized policy enforcement for secure device access, and a robust PoE budget—reducing network complexity and maximizing uptime in smart factory deployments.
For an endpoint refresh involving phones, wireless access points, and other powered devices, the procurement decision depends on individual demand rather than the port total. Per-port power sensing reports actual consumption, and configurable per-port limits constrain allocation. Record each device's negotiated requirement and intended limit before specifying the power configuration.
When staging an IP Services image for a spare or lab unit, software-download entitlement must be checked separately from the hardware purchase. Cisco Smart Net Total Care is a service path for update access, but hardware condition does not establish that entitlement. Confirm the approved software release and existing download rights before the PO.
Across sites with different mains connections, the accessory list must follow the delivery location. CAB-TA-NA= is the North American power cord, while CAB-TA-UK= and CAB-TA-EU= cover United Kingdom and European connections. Standardize regional cord selection and required mounting hardware on each site's bill of materials before releasing the PO.
Multigigabit connections on every access port
Only eight copper access ports support speeds above 1 Gbps; the remaining sixteen are Gigabit Ethernet. Multigigabit connectivity across every access port exceeds this configuration.
Cisco service after October 31 2026
Cisco service ends October 31, 2026 for this discontinued model. C9300L-24UXG-4X-A is the current replacement for purchases that must move beyond the Catalyst 3650 lifecycle.
Removable or faster uplink modules
The four SFP+ uplinks are fixed and reach 10G. No removable uplink network module can add faster uplink connections to this chassis.

WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 switch with 24 access ports, eight multigigabit ports, four 10G uplinks, and IP Services. WS-C3650 is the family prefix; 8X24UQ identifies the port arrangement and PWR-C1-1100WAC power configuration. The -E suffix selects IP Services rather than the LAN Base or IP Base feature sets.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E is managed through the Cisco IOS CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, browser-based Device Manager, the wireless Configuration Wizard, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure, with SNMP monitoring available. The Ethernet management port provides a separate connection. SSH requires the cryptographic software image, and Device Manager manages individual standalone switches.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E is discontinued: end-of-sale was October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022; vulnerability and security support ends October 31, 2026. New service attachment closed October 31, 2022, so existing entitlement must be confirmed rather than assuming a new contract can be added.
ORM offers WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Returns are accepted within 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty covers the original owner only, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E includes a perpetual IP Services base license; SD-Access requires Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco DNA Premier subscriptions, each starting at three years. The 24-port Advantage terms use C3650-DNA-A-24-3Y and C3650-DNA-A-24-5Y; Premier uses C1A1ATCAT36501. The subscription is separate from the base license and does not replace software-download service entitlement.
820W is available for WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E endpoint power with PWR-C1-1100WAC, and individual ports support 60W Cisco UPOE. The budget is shared: 24 × 60W = 1440W, exceeding the single-supply allocation. Full-port 60W operation requires PWR-C1-715WAC= or PWR-C1-1100WAC= in the second bay alongside PWR-C1-1100WAC.
Four built-in 10G SFP+ uplinks serve WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E, and the same cages also support 1G SFP connections. Mixed 1G and 10G uplink configurations are supported within those four positions. The uplink architecture is fixed, so a removable network card cannot convert these positions into faster uplink connections.
Nine switches form a Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stack with 160 Gbps stack bandwidth. C3650-STACK-KIT= adds stacking hardware when absent; STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M= provide cable-length choices. Stack members must use matching software feature sets, and Catalyst 3650 cannot stack with Catalyst 3850.
OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 are available on Catalyst 3650 with IP Services, alongside OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 for IPv6. IP Services also enables PIM-SM, PIM-DM, and sparse-dense multicast routing. The 24000-entry IPv4 scale includes ARP plus learned routes; that total is not an OSPF-only protocol limit.
One PWR-C1-1100WAC ships with the 24-port multigigabit Cisco UPOE switch; redundant power is optional because the second bay is blanked. PWR-C1-715WAC= and PWR-C1-1100WAC= are compatible AC additions. The supplied PWR-C1-1100WAC accepts 115-240V AC; keep the unused bay covered to preserve the cooling path.
123.3W is the WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E power consumption at full test traffic without PoE loading; idle consumption under the same conditions is 110W. These measurements exclude endpoint power and were taken at 115V AC with Energy Efficient Ethernet enabled. They are not total maximum draw figures with powered devices connected.
60W Cisco UPOE on WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E differs from 30W PoE+ on WS-C3650-8X24PD-E. Both are discontinued, so this comparison concerns existing-installation maintenance rather than a new-generation purchase. The UPOE model addresses higher-draw endpoint requirements; the PoE+ model suits lower-power endpoint lists with no requirement for 60W operation.
IP Services on WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4, while WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S includes IP Base with routed-access OSPF and EIGRP stub. The port and uplink configurations are identical. Both models are discontinued; maintenance orders should match the feature set required by existing routing and stack policies.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E is discontinued with Cisco support ending October 31, 2026, whereas C9300L-24UXG-4X-A is the current replacement model. The replacement keeps 24 access ports with eight multigigabit ports and four 10G uplinks. The 3650 suits matching spare or maintenance orders; the 9300L addresses purchases intended to move to the replacement generation.
Yes, the 24-port multigigabit Cisco UPOE switch is a full-width 1U rack-mount model measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 486 mm deep. Its 7.58 kg weight includes the supplied PWR-C1-1100WAC and three FAN-T1 fans. Confirm RACK-KIT-T1= mounting hardware and cabinet clearance with the order.
