Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Data LAN Base | Enterprise Switch — CON-SNTP-C9130AIK

Keep wired access predictable across demanding enterprise environments with Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Data LAN Base. This platform is designed for organizations that need dependable switching at the edge, with the port density required to connect users, endpoints, and downstream infrastructure without constant redesign. The 3850 family is widely deployed in campus and branch networks because it balances access-layer scale with the operational consistency infrastructure teams expect. In a 48-port configuration, it fits high-density closets where cabling, endpoint growth, and segmentation requirements can quickly outpace smaller switches. LAN Base licensing keeps the focus on core access switching capabilities for environments that do not need the added complexity of higher-tier feature sets. For procurement teams, this model makes sense when the goal is to standardize on a proven Cisco access platform rather than accept the tradeoffs of lower-cost hardware. For network teams, it provides a familiar operational model that simplifies rollout, replacement, and lifecycle planning across distributed sites. Ideal For Campus access switching for user workstations and printers Branch office aggregation for wired endpoints Distribution closet standardization across enterprise sites Replacement of aging access switches in managed networks Why This Product 1 Higher port density than compact access switches 2 LAN Base licensing for core switching needs 3 Cisco platform consistency for enterprise standardization 4 Better fit for dense closets than low-port alternatives
