Product overview
WS-C3850-12S-E aggregates twelve 1G SFP optical links on Catalyst 3850 IP Services. It lists 68 Gbps, 68.4 Mpps, Non-PoE, modular uplink options, and PWR-C1-350WAC.
Choose it when southbound optics are 1G SFP and density near twelve ports is enough. Prefer 12XS when optics are already 10G SFP+.
