Data Sheet
Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches
The Cisco
®
Catalyst
®
3850 Series is the next generation of enterprise-class stackable
Ethernet and Multigigabit Ethernet access and aggregation layer switches that provide
full convergence between wired and wireless on a single platform. Cisco’s new Unified
Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) powers the
switch and enables uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility,
flexibility and application optimization. This convergence is built on the resilience of
the new and improved Cisco StackWise-480 technology. The Cisco Catalyst 3850
Series Switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), Cisco
Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE), modular and field-replaceable network
modules, RJ45 and fiber-based downlink interfaces, and redundant fans and power
supplies. With speeds that reach 10Gbps, the Catalyst 3850 Multigigabit Ethernet
Switches support current and next-generation wireless speeds and standards
(including 802.11ac Wave 2) on existing cabling infrastructure.
