WS-C3850-12XS-E Cisco Catalyst 3850 Network Switch

Cisco Cat 3850 WS-C3850-12XS-E

Cisco's Cat 3850, part number WS-C3850-12XS-E, is a 12-port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch that brings stackable enterprise access and aggregation switching to branch and headquarters networks that need consistent, centrally managed access switching. The series is designed for stackable enterprise access and aggregation switching.

The port configuration is 12 x 10G, so you can connect end devices and uplinks to suit your design. The 10GbE ports are well suited to backbone links, NAS connections and other high-traffic paths. A wired connection delivers steadier speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi for fixed devices. Gigabit speeds to each desk keep large file transfers, cloud apps and video calls running smoothly. Standards compliance means it integrates with existing routers, servers and client devices, whatever the vendor.

Managed switching provides the visibility and control that business networks need as they grow. It runs on Cisco IOS XE, so it fits existing management tools and operating procedures. This part number ships with the IP Services feature set. Dedicated per-port bandwidth avoids the collisions and slowdowns of shared-media networks. QoS policies keep calls and video meetings clear, even during heavy file transfers. Diagnostic features help engineers trace faults and analyze traffic without extra hardware. Plan which ports will serve end devices and which will act as uplinks to keep cabling tidy and future changes simple. Separate VLANs for staff, guests, phones and cameras keep traffic organized and more secure.

Pair the switch with a UPS to keep critical connections running through short power interruptions. The Cisco Cat 3850 (WS-C3850-12XS-E) is a smart investment for anyone who needs a 12-port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch.
