FAQ
What is the port breakdown on this Cisco Catalyst switch?
The Catalyst 3650-12X48UQ-S provides 48 total network ports: 36 are standard Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000Base-TX) for connecting typical office devices, and 12 are dedicated 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10GBase-T) for high-bandwidth servers or aggregation links. Additionally, it includes four SFP+ expansion slots that support 10GbE fiber or direct-attach copper modules for additional uplink or backbone connectivity.
Does this switch support Layer 3 routing functions?
Yes, this is a Layer 3 managed switch that supports advanced IP routing capabilities. It can perform inter-VLAN routing, static routing, and dynamic routing protocols like OSPF, allowing it to route traffic between different subnets without requiring a separate router. This makes it ideal for scalable network designs where segmentation and controlled traffic flow between departments or services are necessary.
Can I expand this switch with fiber optic connections?
Absolutely. The switch includes four dedicated SFP+ slots that accept 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceivers for fiber optic connections. These slots support both short-range and long-range fiber modules, enabling connections to other switches or equipment over distances that copper cables cannot reach. The switch also natively supports twisted-pair copper on all its RJ45 ports, giving you media flexibility throughout your network.
Is this switch rack-mountable and what are its dimensions?
Yes, the switch is designed for standard 19-inch server racks with a 1U form factor.
