Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3, Enterprise — CON-C14OF-ASR5GECK

Support the access layer with a switch platform built for powered endpoints and enterprise control. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base brings 48 PoE ports into a managed Cisco architecture, helping teams connect voice, video, and wireless devices without relying on separate power injectors or fragmented edge hardware. Cisco IP Base software provides the operational foundation expected in campus and branch switching, giving network teams a familiar management model for standard access deployments. That matters when the goal is not just to add ports, but to maintain consistency across closets, floors, and remote sites. This switch is a practical fit for organizations that want to standardize on Cisco at the edge and keep powered devices online through routine changes and expansions. Compared with lower-tier access switches, the value here is in the combination of 48-port density, full PoE support, and a platform designed for long-term enterprise use rather than short-cycle replacement.
