Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Enterprise Layer 3 Switch — CON-NCFUS-97ENT

Sustain critical access-layer workloads with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base. This platform pairs 48 Ethernet ports with full PoE support, helping teams power voice, video, and wireless devices directly from the switch while keeping closet design simpler and more predictable. IP Base software gives the switch the control layer needed for enterprise access deployments. For organizations standardizing on Cisco, the 3850 family offers a familiar operating model and the port density required for high-device-count edge environments. It is a strong fit when the network must support many powered endpoints without adding separate injectors or local adapters. The value of this configuration is in consolidation. One switch can carry data and power for a dense set of endpoints, reducing cable clutter and easing rack planning. That matters in classrooms, branch offices, and enterprise floors where every port and every watt has a purpose. Compared with lower-tier access switches, this model is built to support a more disciplined infrastructure strategy: Cisco software alignment, full PoE delivery, and the density needed to keep the edge organized as device counts grow.
