FAQ
How many ports does this switch have, and what are their speeds?
The Cisco Catalyst 3650-48PS has 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting 10/100/1000Base-T speeds. This allows for high-speed connections to computers, printers, access points, and other network devices, with automatic negotiation to match the connected device's capability.
What are the SFP slots used for on this switch?
The four SFP slots provide uplink connectivity, enabling you to add fiber or copper modules for high-speed connections to other switches, routers, or network backbones. This flexibility supports longer-distance links or higher bandwidth requirements beyond the standard twisted pair ports.
Is this switch manageable, and what features does it support?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 3 switch. It supports Layer 4 traffic classification, bandwidth limiting, VLANs, quality of service, and security policies. These features allow network administrators to optimize performance, prioritize critical traffic, and enforce access controls.
Can this switch be rack-mounted, and what are its dimensions?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting in standard 19-inch racks. Its dimensions are 1.73" height, 17.50" width, and 17.63" depth. It also supports desktop placement, offering flexibility for environments without rack infrastructure.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this model does not support PoE on its RJ-45 ports. It is a non-PoE switch, meaning connected devices like phones or access points will require separate power sources. The switch itself uses an internal power supply with support for redundant power supplies.
