Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base | Enterprise Network — CON-L14HR-ISR4431A

Keep wired access layers stable with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise campus networks, this switch class is designed to support dense endpoint environments where power, access, and policy control all matter at the edge. Full PoE helps simplify deployment for phones, access points, and other powered devices, reducing the need for separate adapters and local power planning. The 48-port configuration gives network teams the density needed for office floors, branch aggregation, and access closets that must serve many users from a single rack position. IP Base provides the feature set expected in controlled enterprise switching environments, making it a practical fit for organizations standardizing on Cisco access infrastructure. For teams replacing aging access hardware, this model supports a cleaner refresh path without overbuying features that are not required at the edge. This is the kind of switch selected when uptime, port density, and PoE coverage matter more than commodity pricing. It fits environments where the access layer must stay predictable, support mixed endpoint types, and integrate into a Cisco-managed network strategy.
