WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S combines eight 100Mbps/1G/2.5G/5G/10G copper ports with sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports in a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch. Four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks connect the access layer to distribution without requiring an uplink card; the chassis has no modular uplink bay. Cisco UPOE supports 60W per powered port, with aggregate endpoint demand sharing the available power allocation. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 family and ships with IP Base for routed access. Wireless access points, IP phones and other powered Ethernet endpoints can occupy the same access switch, while faster copper connections are limited to the multigigabit interfaces. The discontinued WS-C3650-8X24PD-S carries a smaller 435W default PoE allocation, making endpoint power requirements an important distinction between these legacy variants.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S price for new stock is $4,042.50, a 71.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $14,345.00. WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S refurb price is $779.63. WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

272 Gbps switching capacity accommodates the mixed-speed access interfaces and fixed fiber uplinks. 202.38 Mpps forwarding provides the packet-rate figure for traffic-profile sizing. 820W of shared PoE power feeds connected powered devices rather than guaranteeing every port's maximum simultaneously. OSPF for routed access, EIGRP Stub, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng and static routing support local gateway designs; PBR permits policy-directed forwarding. BGPv4 and full OSPF require IP Services rather than the included tier. WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S runs Cisco IOS XE on the UADP ASIC, with 4 GB DRAM and 4 GB flash for memory and software storage. The address tables accommodate 32000 MAC entries and 24000 combined ARP and learned IPv4 route entries for network-scale planning. CLI access and SNMP management support configuration and monitoring workflows. 123.3W at full traffic without PoE loading is a switch-only test ceiling, so endpoint power requires separate electrical sizing rather than treating that measurement as a loaded-system maximum.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S is offered new sealed and certified refurbished; specify condition, quantity and included accessories on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed linking on every port, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, plus 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is separate, eligibility-dependent and bounded by October 31, 2026; enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a higher-education campus deploying Wi-Fi 6 access points, the WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S consolidates 24 multigigabit PoE+ ports with four 10 Gbps uplinks to eliminate wireless bottlenecks and future-proof network capacity. Benefit: Delivers seamless gigabit-plus wireless performance, simplifies AP powering, and reduces congestion by up to 50 %.
A smart factory integrates hundreds of IoT sensors, cameras, and automated controllers over a single network. The WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S provides segmented VLANs, advanced QoS, and multirate PoE+ support to ensure reliable data flows and traffic prioritization. Benefit: Enhances operational efficiency with deterministic network performance and robust security.
A virtualized branch data center requires scalable, high-availability switching at the rack level. The WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S offers stackable resiliency, hot-swappable power, and four 10 Gbps SFP+ uplinks to core routers, enabling seamless failover and 1/2.5 Gbps access for blade servers. Benefit: Simplifies management, ensures sub-millisecond failover, and supports up to 60 % higher throughput.
An access-layer refresh that relocates VLAN gateways needs interface scale checked separately from endpoint count. The Catalyst 3650 supports 1000 switched virtual interfaces and 4094 VLAN IDs under IP Base, so an existing gateway plan can be compared with those limits. Confirm the required VLAN and gateway inventory before setting purchase quantities.
An endpoint refresh that changes powered-device types needs a port-level power plan, not just a chassis count. Per-port power sensing reports actual draw, and administrators can set an individual port's maximum allocation. Include endpoint power profiles and the required power-monitoring thresholds in the staging requirements before approving the order.
A replacement-stock purchase covering separate offices needs country-specific mains accessories included rather than assumed. CAB-TA-NA= serves North America, CAB-TA-UK= serves the United Kingdom and CAB-TA-EU= serves Europe. Build location-specific spare bundles and identify each power-cord PID on the PO before consolidating regional quantities.
Cisco support after October 31, 2026
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S reaches its last date of Cisco support on October 31, 2026. For current replacement procurement, specify C9300L-24UXG-4X-A with Network Advantage instead.
Multigigabit service on every access port
Only eight copper access ports support speeds above 1Gbps; the remaining sixteen are Gigabit Ethernet. Requirements for twenty-four multigigabit connections exceed this switch's fixed access-port configuration.
Full OSPF or BGP routing
IP Base excludes full OSPF and BGPv4. Those features require IP Services, not an additional subscription layered onto the included network feature set.

WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S identifies a Catalyst 3650 with twenty-four copper access ports, eight multigigabit ports, four 10G uplinks and IP Base. C3650 identifies the family; 8X24UQ identifies this hardware configuration, combining sixteen Gigabit ports with eight multigigabit ports and four fixed uplinks. The final S selects IP Base.
Cisco Catalyst 3650 is managed through the console CLI, remote CLI over SSH or Telnet, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SSH and encrypted SNMPv3 require the appropriate cryptographic software image. The Ethernet management connection supports administrative access separately from the copper access-port inventory.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S is discontinued: Cisco sales ended October 31, 2021, and the last date of support is October 31, 2026. C9300L-24UXG-4X-A is the current replacement. Existing Cisco service entitlements remain bounded by that final support date; purchasing remaining hardware stock does not restart the product's Cisco lifecycle.
ORM offers WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended and up to 1-year ORM warranties respectively. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is separate and eligibility-dependent, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S includes perpetual IP Base within the LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services feature-set structure. Separate Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier subscription paths historically used a three-year minimum; DNA Advantage offered three-year and five-year terms. Confirm required network-tier entitlements and any separate subscription rights before finalizing a refurbished hardware order.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S provides an 820W shared PoE budget with its default PWR-C1-1100WAC and supports Cisco UPOE delivery of 60W per powered port. Twenty-four ports drawing 60W would require 1440W, exceeding that default allocation. Size the combined endpoint demand rather than assuming every powered port can reach its maximum simultaneously.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S has four fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports, not an empty bay for a removable uplink card. The uplink interfaces also support compatible Gigabit Ethernet SFP operation. Specify the intended uplink speeds and optical media before purchase so the transceiver selections match the distribution connections.
Cisco Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stacks nine members with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth when the required stacking hardware is installed. C3650-STACK-KIT= provides the stacking adapter option; cable choices include STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M=. An IP Base stack requires matching network feature sets across its Catalyst 3650 members.
Yes, WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S supports Layer 3 routing under IP Base, including static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access. PBR is also available. Full OSPF, full EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 require IP Services, so advanced routing requirements must not be assigned to the included tier.
The Catalyst 3650 multigigabit UPOE switch occupies 1U and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 486 mm deep. The WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S configuration weighs 7.58 kg with its default hardware. Check cabinet depth, rear connections and mounting accessories; RACK-KIT-T1= is the rack-mount kit option.
No, WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S ships with one PWR-C1-1100WAC; its second internal power-supply bay is available for an optional supply. PWR-C1-1100WAC= is the matching spare option. Include the second supply explicitly when redundancy is required, and assess endpoint power separately rather than treating the supply's rating as switch power consumption.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S has an 820W default PoE budget, whereas WS-C3650-8X24PD-S has 435W. Both models are discontinued Catalyst 3650 variants. The former suits existing installations with greater aggregate endpoint power demand; the latter suits legacy replacements whose powered-device inventory fits the smaller shared budget.
WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S includes IP Base, whereas WS-C3650-8X24UQ-E includes IP Services. IP Base provides OSPF for routed access and EIGRP Stub; IP Services adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4. Both models are discontinued. IP Base suits existing routed-access configurations; IP Services suits legacy configurations requiring advanced routing entitlements.
C9300L-24UXG-4X-A is the current replacement with Network Advantage, while WS-C3650-8X24UQ-S is the discontinued IP Base model. The network license generation differs between the two. The Catalyst 3650 suits compatibility-driven replacement of existing hardware; the Catalyst 9300L suits purchasing the current successor rather than extending the discontinued generation.
