This data sheet provides a technical overview and service availability details for the Cisco Catalyst 3650-48FD-S, specifically focused on deployment and lifecycle management through SKYRS in Pakistan.
The Cisco Catalyst 3650-48FD-S is an enterprise-class stackable switch that offers full convergence between wired and wireless networks. The “FD” designation indicates “Full PoE” (Power over Ethernet) capability across all 48 ports, while the “S” suffix identifies the IP Base software feature set. This provides advanced Layer 2 switching along with basic Layer 3 routing capabilities like OSPF stub, EIGRP stub, and static routing.
| Feature | Details |
| Total 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports | 48 |
| PoE Support | Full PoE+ (Up to 30W per port) |
| Available PoE Budget | 775W (with default 1025WAC PSU) |
| Uplink Interfaces | 2 x 10G SFP+ and 2 x 1G SFP |
| Switching Capacity | 176 Gbps |
| Forwarding Rate | 104.16 Mpps |
| Software Image | IP Base |
SKYRS maintains availability for the 3650-48FD-S and its supporting hardware modules to ensure seamless integration into Pakistani enterprise networks.
WS-C3650-48FD-S: The primary 48-port PoE+ model with 10G uplinks.
Stacking Modules: Optional C3650-STACK-KIT for StackWise-160 (160 Gbps throughput).
Power Supply Units: Default PWR-C2-1025WAC included; secondary slots available for 1+1 redundancy.
Uplink Flexibility: SFP/SFP+ modules for diverse fiber-optic connectivity requirements.
SKYRS offers specialized physical deployment services for the 3650-48FD-S across Pakistan, ensuring hardware is staged and installed to meet international standards.
Hardware Staging: Pre-deployment testing and physical inspection of chassis, fans, and power modules.
Rack Integration: Secure 1U rack-mounting with airflow verification to handle the high heat output of a 1025W power system.
PoE Calculation: Site-specific PoE budgeting to ensure the 775W threshold supports all connected VoIP phones, APs, and surveillance cameras.
Stacking Implementation: Physical cabling and logical configuration of multi-switch stacks for a single management IP.
Configuration of the 3650-48FD-S is exclusively managed by SKYRS engineers to leverage the specific features of the IP Base license.
Advanced Layer 2 Setup: VLAN configuration, Spanning Tree (MSTP/RPVST+), and Port Security.
Basic Layer 3 Routing: Configuring OSPF or Static routes for branch-to-core connectivity.
Convergence Management: Activating the integrated wireless controller to manage up to 50 Access Points and 1000 clients.
QoS for PoE Devices: Prioritizing power and data for critical communication devices (e.g., Video Conferencing).
As of April 2026, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 series is approaching its final lifecycle milestone.
Important Support Milestone: The Last Date of Support (LDoS) for this hardware is October 31, 2026. SKYRS provides full configuration and physical installation support until this date. We recommend clients consult with our team regarding the migration path to the Cisco Catalyst 9300L series for continued security updates and modern software-defined access features.
