Cisco Catalyst 3850 12-Port GE SFP IP Services | Layer 3 Enterprise — CON-L24OS-C920024P

Keep critical access and aggregation paths under control with Cisco Catalyst 3850 12 Port GE SFP IP Services. This platform is designed for environments that need more than basic switching: routed services, policy-driven segmentation, and fiber-based connectivity that fits enterprise campus architectures. The 12 GE SFP port design supports flexible uplink and aggregation use cases where copper access switches fall short. IP Services licensing adds the routing capabilities and control features expected in managed enterprise networks, making this model a strong fit for teams standardizing on Cisco operations and lifecycle practices. For infrastructure groups, the value is in consistency. The Catalyst 3850 family is built for long deployment cycles, centralized management, and integration into established Cisco environments. That makes it easier to maintain configuration standards, support segmentation requirements, and preserve network design discipline across sites. Choose this model when the network needs fiber connectivity, Layer 3 services, and a platform that can sit confidently in a production campus design without forcing a redesign later.
