FAQs

Q: What does the F in the model indicate?
A: It denotes a front-to-back airflow variant for consistent data center and structured cabling airflow designs.

Q: Are PoE endpoints supported?
A: No. This is a fiber aggregation switch without PoE capability.

Q: Can the QSFP+ uplinks be used as 4x10G?
A: Yes. With supported breakout cables, each 40G port can be split into 4x10G.

Q: Does it support stacking with other 3850 switches?
A: Yes, via StackWise-480 with compatible 3850 models.

Q: Are optics included?
A: Transceivers and DAC/AOC cables are sold separately.
