FAQ
How many ports does this Cisco switch have?
The Cisco Catalyst 3650-24T has 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting network devices, plus 4 dedicated Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. This provides a total of 28 ports for data transfer, with the 4 uplinks specifically designed for connecting to other switches or network backbone equipment.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this switch does not support Power over Ethernet. The PoE (RJ-45) Port specification is listed as 'No', meaning it cannot deliver power to connected devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras. You would need separate power sources or a PoE injector for such devices.
What is the purpose of the SFP slots?
The 4 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots allow for flexible uplink connections using either fiber optic or copper SFP modules. This enables longer distance connections, higher bandwidth links, or integration with existing fiber infrastructure, making the switch suitable for connecting to core switches or between buildings.
Can this switch be rack-mounted?
Yes, this switch is designed for 1U rack mounting in standard 19-inch server racks, with dimensions of 1.73" height, 17.50" width, and 17.63" depth. It also supports desktop placement if rack mounting isn't required. The rack-mountable form factor helps organize cables and secure the switch in professional installations.
What does Layer 4 support mean for this switch?
Layer 4 support refers to the switch's ability to inspect and manage traffic at the transport layer (TCP/UDP), enabling advanced features like traffic classification, bandwidth limiting, and quality of service (QoS) based on port numbers. This is particularly useful for prioritizing critical applications or managing bandwidth in multi-tenant environments.
What warranty comes with this refurbished switch?
This refurbished Cisco Catalyst 3650-24T switch comes with a lifetime limited warranty. The switch has been professionally refurbished to meet quality standards, and the warranty provides coverage for defects in materials or workmanship, ensuring reliable performance for enterprise networking deployments.
