The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series provides capabilities that ideally suited to support the convergence of wired and
wireless access. The new Cisco Unified Access Data™ Plane (UADP) Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)
powers the switch and enables uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, and application
optimization. This convergence is built on the resilience of the new and improved Cisco StackWise-480 technology.
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), Cisco Universal
Power Over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE), modular and field-replaceable network modules, RJ-45 and fiber-based downlink
interfaces, and redundant fans and power supplies.
