The Cisco WS-C3850-12S-S is a unique entry in the Cisco 3850 line, with 12 hot-swappable Gigabit SFP ports for maximum compatibility with a wide variety of network types, along with either a 4x1GbE or 2x10GbE uplink module.

Like all Catalyst 3850 units, the WS-C3850-12S-S is fully stackable via StackWise-480 systems. They can form a combined logical switch with a combined output up to 480Gbps. StackPower technologies allow each unit to share power, decreasing consumption while providing rollover functions in case of unit failure. IEEE certifications bring further per-port power savings.

The Cisco Unified Access Data Plane allows wired and WiFi data networks to merge into a single, easily-administered whole with unified security and app access. The powerful multicore CPU and Cisco ONE API architecture bring smart “network aware” apps to your operations. Cisco TrustSec brings true system wide distributed security.
