Cisco UPOE Technology
One of the major advantages of the WS-C3850-48U-S is Cisco UPOE.
Cisco UPOE can provide up to 60W per port on compatible ports, allowing organizations to power devices that require more power than traditional PoE+ can provide.
Potential applications include:
- Wireless access points
- IP phones
- Video devices
- Thin clients
- Building-management devices
- Other compatible high-power Ethernet devices
StackWise-480
The Catalyst 3850 supports Cisco StackWise-480, providing up to 480 Gbps of stack throughput.
Stacking allows multiple compatible switches to operate as a single logical switching system, helping organizations increase port capacity and simplify network management.
Network Module Expansion
The WS-C3850-48U-S includes one network-module slot. Compatible Cisco network modules can provide additional uplink connectivity depending on the module installed.
Cisco documents optional network modules for the Catalyst 3850 family, including Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet configurations.
