Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port Full PoE IP Base | Layer 3, Rack Mount — CON-NCFTS-CS1T102T

Sustain wired access for phones, access points, cameras, and other PoE endpoints with a switch built for enterprise edge density. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port Full PoE IP Base combines 48 PoE-capable ports with Cisco’s IP Base feature set, giving infrastructure teams a dependable foundation for access-layer switching in campus and branch networks. This platform is designed for environments where uptime, port density, and operational consistency matter more than commodity pricing. Full PoE support helps simplify endpoint deployment by delivering power and data over a single cable, reducing the need for local adapters and separate power planning. The Catalyst 3850 family is also known for its role in converged access networks, where voice, wireless, and general user traffic share the same switching layer. For teams standardizing on Cisco, this model fits naturally into managed enterprise environments where policy control, segmentation, and predictable behavior are required. It is a practical choice when you need more than basic switching, but do not need to overbuy features that sit idle. That balance makes it well suited for organizations that value long service life, consistent supportability, and a platform that can anchor the access layer with confidence.
