WS-C3850-24U-L Use Case
Smart Office High-Power PoE Consolidation
Organizations deploy the WS-C3850-24U-L Catalyst 3850 24-Port uPOE LAN Base switch to power Wi-Fi 6 APs, VoIP phones, and digital signage over a single copper infrastructure. Result: centralized power delivery up to 60 W per port, simplified cabling, and 30% faster branch deployments.
Resilient Campus Edge Aggregation and Scaling
IT teams stack multiple WS-C3850-24U-L switches via StackWise-480 to build a high-performance campus edge fabric with 480 Gbps backplane throughput. Result: sub-50 ms failover, unified single-pane management, and linear performance scaling to accommodate growing user and IoT device density.
Integrated IP Surveillance and Access Control
Enterprises implement WS-C3850-24U-L switches at building entrances to power uPOE IP cameras, door controllers, and environmental sensors on isolated VLANs. Result: guaranteed QoS for real-time video streams, granular per-port ACL security, and uninterrupted monitoring for regulatory compliance.
