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

Keep access-layer services stable with a switch designed for high-density PoE deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base brings 48 powered Ethernet ports to the edge, making it a strong fit for offices, campuses, and branch environments that need to feed phones, access points, cameras, and other networked devices from the switch itself. IP Base licensing gives teams the routing and segmentation features commonly required in enterprise access networks without moving to a more complex platform than the deployment calls for. That matters when you need predictable operation, straightforward administration, and enough headroom to support mixed endpoint loads across a busy wiring closet. This model is a better fit than entry-level switches when uptime, port density, and PoE consistency matter. It reduces the need for external injectors and helps keep power and data on the same infrastructure path, which simplifies installation and ongoing support. For organizations standardizing on Cisco access switching, it offers a familiar operational model and a clear path for controlled expansion.
