Drive VoIP phones, 802.11ax access points and CCTV simultaneously with an 800 W PoE budget powered by the pre-installed 1100 W AC supply. IEEE 802.3at on every port means up to 30 W per device with intelligent power negotiation from Cisco Per-Port PoE +.
Forty-eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports sit beside a field-upgradable Network Module slot that accepts 4× 1 G SFP, 2× 10 G SFP+, or 4× 10 G SFP+ options to match your uplink needs. The 176 Gbps switching fabric and 130.95 Mpps forwarding rate keep those links saturated without bottlenecks.
Stack up to nine 3850s with 480 Gbps stack bandwidth, unified control-plane failover (Cisco SSO), and optional StackPower shared PSU pools for hitless redundancy.
The built-in wireless controller provides 40 Gbps of wireless throughput per 48-port switch, letting you enforce one policy across LAN and WLAN while harvesting Flexible NetFlow on every port.
Dual hot-swap PSUs and three hot-swap fans maintain uptime in campus closets. A USB 3.0 Type-A port, mini-USB console and out-of-band Gigabit-Ethernet management make provisioning fast, while AutoQoS, Smart Operations and EnergyWise cut OpEx.
Running Cisco IOS XE LAN Base, the switch is upgradable to IP Base or Services licenses, and is fully compatible with DNA Center automation and SD-Access fabric overlays.
