Cisco Catalyst 3650 Mini Switches
The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series adds new mini switches to the
existing 3650 family of switches. These switches are less than 12”
deep and quieter than the existing 3650 switches, making them
perfect to deploy in tight wiring cabinets, racks, or user spaces
where depth of the switch is a concern. You can avoid replacing the
cabinets or mounting the switch at an angle and as a result reduce
downtime to the network. These switches enable the same uniform
wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility,
flexibility, application optimization, and superior resiliency as
the existing 3650 switches. They come in 24- and 48-port
10M/100M/1000M switch SKUs (WS-C3650-24PDM and WS-C3650-48FQM) and
support all the same features as the existing 3650 switches except
that they come with fixed fans, fixed power supplies, and support
for external RPS2300 for redundancy. These PoE switches support
both PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at standard), providing
up to 30W of power for 12 ports for a total of 390W on the 24-port
model and up to 30W of power for 24 ports for a total of 775W on
the 48-port model. The 24-port switch has 2x1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP
and 2x10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplinks; the 48-port switch has 4x10
Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplinks to support any high-bandwidth
application. These switches support stacking and can stack with
each other or the existing 3650 switches using the same Cisco
StackWise-160 technology. The 3650 mini and 3650 use the same
software and thus can be deployed and managed using the same
policies, configuration, and so on as the existing 3650 switches.
Some use cases for the 3650 mini are the following:
Small Offices and Branches
Many small branches and satellite offices where there are few
employees do not have larger wiring closets because of space
constraints. A typical office like this has smaller cabinets and
would need a switch that can serve few employees, provide PoE
support, can manage wired-wireless networks, and applies the same
consistent policies as a bigger branch or office. Because of its
less than 12” depth, lower noise, and support for 10G uplinks along
with stacking, advanced security, and wired-wireless convergence,
the 3650 mini is the perfect switch for this type of space.
