Cisco Catalyst 3850 12-Port 10G Fiber Switch IP Services | Layer 3, Enterprise — CON-L1NBD-ASA5506K

Keep high-speed traffic moving through the network core or aggregation layer with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 12 Port 10G Fiber Switch running IP Services. Designed for environments that depend on fiber connectivity and advanced routing features, this switch gives infrastructure teams the control needed to support dense uplinks, segmented traffic flows, and stable service delivery. The Catalyst 3850 family is a familiar fit for enterprise campus networks because it combines managed switching with Layer 3 capabilities and Cisco’s operational model. In practice, that means cleaner traffic paths between access and distribution layers, better alignment with routed designs, and a platform that can sit at the center of a standardized Cisco deployment. For organizations that have outgrown basic switching, the value here is precision. Twelve 10G fiber ports provide the bandwidth headroom needed for uplinks, aggregation, and high-throughput interconnects, while IP Services support more advanced network behavior than entry-level switching platforms. It is a strong choice when the network must carry critical workloads, not just connect endpoints.
