Cisco Catalyst 3850-24P-S - Managed Layer 3 PoE+ Switch, black, grey

The Cisco Catalyst 3850-24P-S Managed Layer 3 PoE+ switch (24 x 10/100/1000) segments enterprise campus or branch networks. It provides 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports with Power over Ethernet Plus for connecting and powering edge devices. As a Layer 3 device, this model routes IP traffic across the local network, moving beyond basic Layer 2 switching. It offers a 92 Gbit/s switching capacity for full-bandwidth data transfers across multiple connections, with a 68.4 Mpps forwarding rate to maintain steady packet throughput.

Designed for standard data racks, the chassis occupies 1U of space and runs on AC power. The switch provides a 435 W PoE budget to support hardware such as wireless access points and VoIP phones. Administrators can expand the network by stacking the unit with compatible Cisco switches. Quality of Service (QoS) protocols, rate limiting, and support for 4,000 VLANs manage local traffic flow, while Access Control Lists (ACLs) and 802.1X RADIUS authentication provide network security. Power consumption is typically 87.11 W.

• Supports 24,000 routing entries for inter-VLAN communication and path management.
• Features a 32,000-entry MAC address table for tracking endpoints in high-density environments.
• Includes 4096 MB of DRAM and 2048 MB of flash memory for firmware and system configurations.
• Supports jumbo frames up to 9,198 bytes for large data transfers across the local network.
• Compatible with SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 for integration with monitoring software.
• Rated with an MTBF of 269,450 hours for hardware reliability.
