Looking for comparison between Cisco 2960 and Cisco 3650

[network_geek1979]

Folks,

I am looking for some guidance on which switch to select between both switches i.e. Cisco 2960 and a Cisco 3650. The use case here is to support Wireless access points which would work over PoE+. The second requirement here to to ensure that we have a redundant power supply.

I know that the Cisco 2960 also supports dual power supply but I would like to know if we can used those in combined mode as well.

What is the power compromise we would have if we are to select Cisco 2960 over Cisco 3650.

Regards,

N.

Hi,

Have a look at this comparison data sheet:
