Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-NCFOS-ISR4331S

Sustain wired and powered access at the edge with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise campus networks, this switch combines 48 PoE ports with the operational depth of the Catalyst 3850 family, giving infrastructure teams a dependable platform for phones, access points, cameras, and other powered endpoints. IP Base licensing provides the routing and segmentation features commonly required in access-layer deployments, helping keep traffic organized without moving to a more complex core-class platform. That makes this model a strong fit when you need more than basic switching, but do not want to pay for capabilities you will not use. The 3850 series is known for its role in converged networks where power, access control, and predictable switching behavior matter. For organizations standardizing on Cisco, this model fits naturally into existing operational workflows and support models. It is a practical choice for teams that value long service life, consistent management, and a platform sized for serious access-layer demand.
