Support high-density access networks with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base. This switch is designed for environments that need both data connectivity and power delivery at the edge, reducing the need for separate power injectors and simplifying endpoint deployment. With 48 PoE ports, it is well suited for IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other powered devices that must stay online throughout the workday. Cisco IP Base software provides the control expected in enterprise switching environments, giving IT teams a practical foundation for segmentation, access policy enforcement, and day-to-day network administration. The Catalyst 3850 family is commonly selected where access-layer reliability matters and where the cost of downtime is higher than the cost of a more capable switch. For organizations standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, this model offers a strong balance of port density, PoE capability, and enterprise management. It is a fit for procurement teams that need a proven platform for branch, campus, and distributed office deployments without moving to a more complex feature set than the environment requires.
