Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Enterprise Switch, Layer 3 — CON-L14HR-C920L24A

Built for the enterprise access layer, the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base gives IT teams a practical way to power and connect dense edge devices from a single switch. Forty-eight PoE ports reduce the need for external injectors and simplify cabling across voice, wireless, and surveillance deployments. IP Base positioning makes this model a fit for organizations that need Layer 3 functionality at the access edge without moving to a more complex platform. That matters in segmented campus networks where routing, policy boundaries, and predictable operations are part of the design. The Catalyst 3850 family is widely used in environments that value operational familiarity, long service life, and integration into established Cisco infrastructure. This switch is a strong choice when access density and power delivery matter more than chasing the lowest upfront cost. Full PoE support helps standardize endpoint rollouts, while the 48-port layout supports larger closets and floor distributions with fewer devices. For teams maintaining a Cisco-based campus, it offers the right balance of port count, power delivery, and access-layer control.
