Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3, Rack Mount — CON-C1NOF-ISR4331K

Support high-density access layers with a switch built for powered endpoints, segmented networks, and dependable campus connectivity. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base brings 48 PoE-enabled ports to the edge, giving infrastructure teams the port count needed for phones, access points, cameras, and other powered devices without adding separate injectors. IP Base licensing provides the routing and control features commonly required in enterprise access deployments, while the Catalyst platform is known for stable operation in managed network environments. That makes this model a strong fit when you need more than basic switching: predictable policy enforcement, VLAN segmentation, and a platform that can sit at the center of a wired access stack. For organizations standardizing on Cisco, this switch helps simplify lifecycle management and keeps the access layer aligned with broader campus architecture. It is a practical choice for teams that need density, PoE coverage, and enterprise control in one chassis rather than piecing together lower-capacity alternatives.
