Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-C14OF-SP6508A2

Sustain critical access-layer services 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, reducing the need for separate injectors and simplifying rollout of IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance devices. Built for enterprise campus networks, this model pairs full PoE capability with Cisco IP Base software for the control and routing functions commonly required at the access layer. That makes it a practical fit for organizations standardizing on wired and powered endpoints while keeping the network architecture clean and manageable. For teams comparing commodity switches against a platform built for long-term access infrastructure, the value is in consistency: predictable power delivery, Cisco switching behavior, and a feature set aligned to enterprise edge requirements. It is the kind of switch chosen when uptime, port density, and operational discipline matter more than lowest-cost hardware.
