Sustain critical access-layer traffic with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise campus networks, this switch combines 48 copper ports with full PoE support, giving you a clean way to power phones, access points, cameras, and other edge devices from the closet. IP Base licensing provides the control set many infrastructure teams need for standard Layer 3 access deployments, including the routing and segmentation capabilities that keep traffic organized as environments grow. The Catalyst 3850 family is designed for organizations that want more than basic switching. It fits where uptime, endpoint density, and predictable network behavior matter. Compared with lower-tier access switches, this model is a stronger fit when you need centralized power delivery, a larger port count, and a platform that can anchor a busy wiring closet without constant redesign. For teams standardizing on Cisco, it offers a familiar operational model and a clear path for enterprise access expansion.
