Cisco Catalyst 3850 24 mGig UPoE IP Services | Enterprise PoE Switch — CON-L1NBD-WSC385XE

Keep wired access ready for higher-speed endpoints without forcing a forklift refresh. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 24 mGig Port UPoE IP Services switch is built for campus and aggregation environments where Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, cameras, and other powered devices are converging on the same edge. Multigigabit access helps preserve performance as client and AP demands rise, while UPoE extends power delivery to devices that need more than standard PoE budgets. Cisco IP Services provides the routing and control features infrastructure teams expect when the access layer must do more than forward traffic. That makes this model a strong fit for segmented enterprise networks, distributed closets, and deployments that need policy consistency across many endpoints. It is the kind of switch chosen when the cost of congestion, re-cabling, or underpowered ports is higher than the cost of buying the right platform once. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, this model offers a practical balance of density, power, and service depth. It is designed to support current access requirements while leaving room for the next wave of multigig devices. Ideal For Deploy in campus wiring closets serving Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phones Use in enterprise access layers that require multigigabit endpoint support Install in segmented networks that depend on Cisco IP Services routing features Standardize powered edge connectivity for cameras, phones, and access points Why This Product 1 More access bandwidth than standard gigabit PoE switches 2 UPoE support for higher-power endpoints 3 Cisco IP Services for advanced routing control 4 Built for enterprise campus edge deployments
