Product Description
Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-Port Stackable Switch WS-C3850-24P-E
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-Port Stackable Switch provides enterprise-grade Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with advanced switching, routing and stacking capabilities.
Designed for business and campus networks, the Catalyst 3850 combines wired access switching with Cisco’s StackWise-480 technology. Multiple compatible Catalyst 3850 switches can be combined into a stack and managed as a single logical unit, simplifying network expansion and administration. Cisco documents support for data stacks of up to nine switches under standard stacking guidelines.
The 24-port non-PoE WS-C3850-24P-S model provides 24 × 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, one network-module slot and a 350W AC power supply. Cisco identifies this configuration as an IP Base switch.

StackWise-480 Technology
A major advantage of the Catalyst 3850 is StackWise-480. It enables compatible switches to operate together as a stack, providing a scalable architecture for growing networks.
Cisco documents 480 Gbps stacking bandwidth and standard data stacks of up to nine switches.
This makes the Catalyst 3850 suitable for organizations that need to expand the number of network ports without managing every switch as a completely independent device.
Network Connectivity
The 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports provide 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity for computers, servers, printers, IP phones, access points and other network devices.
The switch also has a network-module slot, allowing compatible uplink modules to be installed depending on the exact configuration. Cisco’s 3850 documentation identifies multiple network-module options for the series.
Ideal Applications
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-Port Switch is suitable for:
- Corporate networks
- Office LAN infrastructure
- Campus networks
- Schools and universities
- Branch offices
- Enterprise access-layer deployments
- Network upgrades
- Replacement of existing Catalyst 3850 equipment
- Stacked network deployments
- Data and voice network environments

FAQs
1. What is the Cisco Catalyst 3850 24-Port Switch?
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 is an enterprise managed switch designed for campus, business and access-layer networks. The 24-port models provide 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity and support Cisco StackWise-480 technology.
2. What is the model number of the non-PoE 24-port Catalyst 3850?
The commonly specified non-PoE IP Base model is WS-C3850-24T-S. Cisco lists it as a stackable 24-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch with a 350W AC power supply.
3. Does the WS-C3850-24T-S support PoE?
No. The WS-C3850-24T-S is the non-PoE model. Cisco separately lists the WS-C3850-24P-S as the 24-port PoE+ version.
4. What is StackWise-480?
StackWise-480 is Cisco's stacking technology for the Catalyst 3850. It provides up to 480 Gbps of stacking bandwidth and allows compatible switches to operate as a stack.
5. How many Catalyst 3850 switches can be stacked?
Cisco's installation guidance allows data stacks of up to nine switches for standard Catalyst 3850 stacking configurations, subject to model-specific limitations.
6. Is the Cisco Catalyst 3850 suitable for business networks?
Yes. It is designed for enterprise and campus access networks and provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, Layer 3 capabilities and scalable stacking.
7. Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 have an uplink module slot?
Yes. The 24-port models have one network-module slot for compatible uplink/network modules.
8. Is the Cisco Catalyst 3850 still a current-generation switch?
The Catalyst 3850 is an older Cisco switch platform. For new deployments, customers may want to compare it with newer Cisco Catalyst platforms. However, it can remain useful for compatible replacement, expansion and budget-conscious network deployments.
