Keep critical edge devices online with a switch built for high-density access and power delivery. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base is designed for campus networks that need dependable wired connectivity, centralized management, and PoE across a full 48-port footprint. IP Base software provides the routing and control expected in enterprise access layers, while full PoE support simplifies deployment of IP phones, access points, and surveillance endpoints without separate power runs. That reduces cabling complexity and helps standardize edge rollouts across floors, closets, and branch sites. As part of the Catalyst 3850 family, this platform is suited to organizations that want a managed switch with room for growth, not a basic access device. It fits environments where uptime, segmentation, and consistent policy enforcement matter more than lowest-cost port count. For teams refreJTFng aging access infrastructure, it offers a practical balance of power, control, and Cisco ecosystem alignment.
