Product overview
WS-C3850-24S-E provides twenty-four 1G SFP ports for optical access aggregation, with a network-module uplink path (C3850-NM-4-1G or C3850-NM-2-10G), 92 Gbps, 68.4 Mpps, Non-PoE, and PWR-C1-350WAC.
Choose it when aggregation is 1G fiber southbound. If southbound is already 10G, prefer WS-C3850-12XS-E.
