In a multi-site enterprise with a remote branch office requiring 24-port PoE support for IP phones and Wi-Fi access points, the Cisco Catalyst 3850-24P-L delivers centralized LAN Base manageability and advanced QoS. By powering up to 24 Cisco IP phones and two wireless controllers or access points, IT teams can deploy a converged voice and wireless network over a single chassis. Benefit: Streamlined cabling, automated PoE provisioning, guaranteed voice quality, and unified management reduce operational costs by up to 30% and accelerate site rollouts.
A nationwide retail chain needs reliable power and data for digital signage, POS terminals, and security cameras in each store location. The WS-C3850-24P-L PoE switch powers high-resolution LED displays, barcode scanners, and IP cameras through a single ethernet run, while the LAN Base feature set enforces ACL-based segmentation and VLAN isolation. Benefit: High-availability PoE, granular traffic control, and easy firmware updates enhance customer experiences, reduce in-store downtime by 40%, and simplify compliance with PCI DSS.
In a manufacturing plant with automated assembly lines, hundreds of sensors, machine-vision cameras, and handheld scanners require power and low-latency connectivity. Deploying the Catalyst 3850-24P-L at each cell controller provides 370W of PoE budget and wire-speed forwarding for real-time data ingestion and video streams. Benefit: Deterministic performance for SCADA integration, dynamic power allocation to mobile robots, and built-in network segmentation improve production efficiency by 25% and strengthen operational security.
