Cisco Catalyst 3650 48-Port PoE 2x10G Uplink | IP Base Switch — CON-L1NBD-CS8GK9KI

Move more endpoints onto a single access platform without sacrificing uplink headroom. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port PoE 2x10G Uplink IP Base configuration is built for campus and branch environments that need dense port counts, power delivery to connected devices, and higher-speed uplinks to upstream switching. With 48 PoE ports, this model supports phones, access points, cameras, and other powered devices from the same access layer switch, reducing the need for separate power infrastructure. The 2 x 10G uplinks help prevent aggregation bottlenecks when traffic rises, which matters when access ports are busy and east-west traffic is no longer trivial. IP Base positioning makes this a practical fit for organizations that want core access switching capabilities without paying for features they do not need. It is a strong choice when the priority is stable day-to-day operation, predictable network design, and a platform that can handle a large number of wired endpoints with room for growth at the uplink layer. Ideal For Connect VoIP phones, wireless access points, and cameras in a campus access layer Aggregate high-density wired endpoints in a branch network Provide PoE switching for mixed endpoint deployments Upgrade access switching where 10G uplinks are required Why This Product 1 48 PoE ports for dense endpoint connectivity 2 2 x 10G uplinks for faster aggregation 3 IP Base feature set for practical campus deployments 4 Better fit than lower-port access switches for growth
