Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-NCFTS-SNS3615K

Sustain wired access for voice, video, and wireless endpoints with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise access layers, it combines 48 Ethernet ports with full PoE support to reduce dependency on local power and simplify endpoint placement across offices, classrooms, and branch networks. IP Base software provides the switching foundation needed for controlled segmentation and day-to-day network operations. For teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, the 3850 family fits environments that need dependable access switching with room to scale services at the edge. It is a practical choice when uptime, port density, and power delivery matter more than entry-level price. This model is well suited to deployments where phones, access points, and surveillance devices share the same closet. Full PoE reduces cabling complexity and helps preserve rack space by powering devices directly from the switch. The result is a cleaner access layer with fewer external injectors and less operational friction. For organizations comparing commodity switches against a platform built for enterprise control, this configuration stands out on density, power delivery, and Cisco software alignment. Ideal For Campus access switching for user workstations and VoIP phones Branch office deployment for APs, cameras, and desk phones Network closet consolidation for mixed PoE endpoint environments Enterprise edge switching where Cisco standardization is required Why This Product 1 48 PoE ports support dense endpoint deployments 2 IP Base software fits controlled enterprise access needs 3 Cisco Catalyst platform aligns with standardized infrastructure 4 Full PoE reduces reliance on external power injectors
