Ports

The Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-S Data switch is equipped with 48 ports, making it an ideal choice for businesses and organizations that require a high-density network infrastructure. These ports provide the connectivity required to connect various devices within a network, such as computers, servers, printers, and IP phones.

Increased Connectivity

With 48 ports, this switch offers an extensive range of connectivity options, allowing businesses to easily connect multiple devices to their network. This is particularly beneficial for large organizations that have numerous workstations or departments requiring network access. The ample number of ports ensures that there are no limitations when it comes to connecting devices, promoting seamless communication and collaboration.

Flexibility and Scalability

The 48 ports on the Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-S Data switch provide businesses with the flexibility to adapt and expand their network infrastructure as their needs evolve. Whether it's adding new workstations or integrating additional devices into the network, the abundance of ports ensures that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate future growth. This scalability is crucial for businesses that anticipate expanding their operations or require the ability to quickly adapt to changing demands.

Improved Performance

Having 48 ports on a switch allows for efficient distribution of network traffic, reducing congestion and optimizing performance. Each port on the switch can handle data transmission simultaneously, ensuring that devices connected to the network experience fast and reliable connectivity. This is especially important for bandwidth-intensive applications or environments where data transfer speed is critical.

Uplink Ports

The Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-S Data switch features 2 uplink ports, which serve as the connection points between the local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN). These uplink ports play a crucial role in establishing connectivity beyond the local network, enabling communication with external networks, such as the internet or other remote locations.

Enhanced Network Connectivity

The presence of 2 uplink ports on this switch enhances network connectivity by providing a dedicated pathway for data to flow between the LAN and WAN. This ensures that data can be efficiently transmitted to and from external networks, allowing businesses to access resources, communicate with remote locations, and connect to the internet seamlessly.

Redundancy and High Availability

Having 2 uplink ports offers redundancy and high availability, as it allows for a backup or failover connection in case one port fails or experiences issues. This redundancy ensures that network connectivity remains uninterrupted, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. It also provides businesses with peace of mind, knowing that they have a backup connection in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Improved Network Performance

The 2 uplink ports on the Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-S Data switch contribute to improved network performance by distributing network traffic more effectively. This helps prevent bottlenecks and congestion, ensuring that data can flow smoothly between the LAN and WAN. With optimized network performance, businesses can experience faster data transfer speeds, reduced latency, and enhanced overall network efficiency.

Uplink Speed

The Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-S Data switch offers uplink speeds of 10G, providing businesses with the capability to transmit data at high speeds between their local network and external networks. This high-speed connectivity is essential for organizations that handle large amounts of data or require rapid access to resources outside their LAN.

Fast Data Transfer

The 10G uplink speed on this switch enables businesses to transfer data quickly and efficiently. Whether it's uploading or downloading large files, streaming high-definition media, or accessing cloud-based applications, the high-speed uplink ensures that data can be transmitted without delays or bottlenecks. This fast data transfer capability significantly enhances productivity and user experience, allowing employees to work efficiently without being hindered by slow network speeds.

Support for Bandwidth-Intensive Applications

The 10G uplink speed is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on bandwidth-intensive applications or services. Examples include video conferencing, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) communications, virtualization, and data-intensive tasks such as multimedia production or scientific research. These applications demand substantial bandwidth, and the 10G uplink speed ensures that businesses can support them without compromising performance.

Future-Proofing Network Infrastructure

The 10G uplink speed future-proofs a business's network infrastructure by providing a high-speed connection that can accommodate increasing data demands. As technology advances and data requirements grow, having a 10G uplink ensures that the network can handle future needs without requiring costly upgrades or replacements. This scalability and future-proofing are essential for businesses looking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

License

The Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-S Data switch comes with an IP Base license, which provides a comprehensive set of features and capabilities for network management and security. The IP Base license offers businesses the necessary tools to monitor, configure, and protect their network infrastructure effectively.

Advanced Network Management

The IP Base license offers advanced network management features that allow businesses to have granular control over their network infrastructure. This includes features such as VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) support, quality of service (QoS) settings, and advanced routing protocols. These capabilities enable businesses to optimize their network performance, prioritize traffic, and ensure efficient data flow.

Enhanced Security

With the IP Base license, businesses can implement robust security measures to protect their network and data. This includes features like access control lists (ACLs), which allow administrators to define and enforce policies to restrict unauthorized access, and secure management protocols for secure remote administration. The license also includes support for advanced security protocols, such as IPsec (Internet Protocol Security), which enables secure communication over the network.

Scalability and Expansion

The IP Base license provides businesses with the ability to scale and expand their network infrastructure as their needs evolve. This license supports a wide range of additional modules and features that can be activated as required, allowing businesses to customize their network based on specific requirements. This scalability ensures that the switch can adapt to changing demands and accommodate future growth without requiring significant investments in new hardware or licenses.
