Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches
The Cisco
®
Catalyst
®
3850 Series is the next generation of enterprise-class stackable
access-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.
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, redundant fans and power supplies.
