Cisco Catalyst 3650 48-Port Full PoE 2x10G Uplink | LAN Base — CON-L24HR-WSC3851X

Keep critical edge infrastructure moving with a Catalyst 3650 built for high-density access switching. With 48 full PoE ports, this platform can power phones, access points, cameras, and other network endpoints directly from the switch, reducing the need for separate power runs and simplifying closet design. Dual 10G uplinks provide the bandwidth needed to feed aggregation or distribution layers without bottlenecking busy access segments. LAN Base positioning makes this model a practical fit for teams that want dependable switching behavior and straightforward administration in campus and branch environments. It is well suited to deployments where port density, power delivery, and uplink capacity matter more than advanced feature depth. That balance helps justify the investment in environments that need consistent service levels and a cleaner edge architecture. For infrastructure teams standardizing on Cisco access hardware, this switch offers a familiar operational model and a strong foundation for voice, wireless, and surveillance endpoints. It is a solid choice when the goal is to support more devices per closet, reduce external power dependencies, and preserve headroom for traffic growth. Ideal For Campus access closets serving phones, laptops, and wireless access points Branch office switching for powered endpoints and uplink aggregation IP surveillance deployments with PoE cameras at the edge Network refresh projects replacing lower-density access switches Why This Product 1 More port density than 24-port access switches 2 10G uplinks provide stronger upstream capacity than 1G-only models 3 Full PoE support reduces the need for external power adapters 4 LAN Base fits teams that want core access features without excess complexity
