Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base | Enterprise Switch — CON-NCFTS-CS8GK9KI

Sustain wired access, voice, and wireless edge devices from one switch built for enterprise campus networks. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base combines 48 copper access ports with full Power over Ethernet support, reducing the need for separate injectors and simplifying closet design. IP Base services provide the routing and access capabilities commonly required at the distribution edge and in access-layer deployments. This model is a strong choice when you need consistent port density, centralized power delivery, and a platform that fits into established Cisco environments. It is well suited for organizations standardizing on Catalyst switching and looking to support phones, cameras, and access points without adding power complexity. For teams comparing against lower-tier switches, the value is in operational control: fewer devices to manage, cleaner cabling, and a platform designed for business-critical access networks. Ideal For Deploying access-layer switching for office floors and campus closets Connecting VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras Standardizing Cisco switching across distributed enterprise sites Replacing mixed low-density switches with a single 48-port PoE platform Why This Product 1 48 ports provide more access density than smaller edge switches 2 Full PoE reduces the need for external power injectors 3 IP Base suits standard enterprise access-layer requirements 4 Catalyst platform aligns with Cisco-centric campus environments
