cisco 3850 datasheet - The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series provides capabilities that ideally suited to support the convergence of wired and wireless access.

The new Cisco 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, RJ-45 and fiber-based downlink interfaces, and redundant fans and power supplies.

Cisco Catalyst Multigigabit Ethernet Technology

Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet is a unique Cisco innovation to the new Cisco Catalyst Ethernet access switches.

With the enormous growth of 802.11ac and new wireless applications, wireless devices are promoting the demand for more network bandwidth. This creates a need for a technology that supports speeds higher than 1 Gbps on all cabling infrastructure.

Cisco Multigigabit technology allows you to achieve bandwidth speeds from 1 Gbps through 10 Gbps over traditional Cat 5e cabling or above. In addition, the Multigigabit ports on select Cisco Catalyst switches support UPOE, which is increasingly important for next-generation workspaces and Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems.

Cisco Multigigabit technology offers significant benefits for a diverse range of speeds, cable types, and PoE power.

The benefits can be grouped into 3 different areas:

• Multiple speeds:Cisco Multigigabit technology supports autonegotiation of multiple speeds on switch ports. The supported speeds are 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, and 5 Gbps on Cat 5e cableand up to 10 Gbps over Cat 6a cabling.
• Cable type:The technology supports a wide range of cable types, including Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a or above.
• PoEpower:The technology supports PoE, PoE+, and UPOE for all the supported speeds and cable types.

CISCO Catalyst 3850: Network Management Tools

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches offer both a superior CLI for detailed configuration and Cisco Prime infrastructure for unified wired plus wireless management.

Prime infrastructure provides day 0 and ongoing provisioning, ongoing monitoring and maintenance, configuration templates, and device and user 360-degree views and serves as the FNF collector for user traffic views using the Prime Assurance Manager module.
