Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3, Enterprise — CON-C14OF-FI6332U

Sustain phones, access points, cameras, and other edge devices from a single access switch designed for dense enterprise wiring closets. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base combines 48 PoE-enabled ports with Cisco’s IP Base feature set, giving infrastructure teams the control they need for VLAN segmentation, routed access, and day-to-day policy enforcement at the edge. This platform is a strong fit when you need more than basic connectivity. It is built for organizations that want consistent Cisco management, predictable behavior under load, and a switch family widely deployed in campus access networks. The 3850 line is commonly selected for environments that value operational familiarity, integration with existing Cisco tooling, and the ability to power a large number of endpoints without adding separate injectors or midspan gear. For procurement teams, the value is in consolidation: fewer power accessories, fewer failure points, and a switch architecture suited to long-lived enterprise deployments. For network teams, the appeal is straightforward access-layer control with the port density needed to support modern workspaces, voice, wireless, and security devices from one chassis.
