Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-L14HR-2348TQFA

Maintain dependable access-layer performance for users, voice endpoints, and powered devices with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise campus switching, it combines 48 PoE ports with Cisco’s Catalyst architecture to support dense edge connectivity in a single rack unit footprint. IP Base licensing gives IT teams the routing and access features needed for standard campus deployments without moving to a more complex feature set. That makes this model a practical fit for organizations that want predictable switching behavior, centralized management, and clean expansion at the edge. PoE support reduces cabling complexity and helps power phones, access points, and other network devices directly from the switch. For procurement teams, that means fewer adapters and less installation overhead. For infrastructure teams, it means a cleaner access layer that is easier to standardize across sites. Choose this switch when uptime, port density, and Cisco operational consistency matter more than chasing a lower-cost alternative with fewer controls. It is designed for environments where the access layer must carry real business traffic every day. Ideal For Campus access layer for office users and VoIP phones Branch switch deployment for powered endpoints Network edge aggregation for access points and cameras Standardized switch refresh in enterprise wiring closets Why This Product 1 Adds PoE for powered endpoints without external injectors 2 Provides Layer 3 capability for access-layer routing needs 3 Offers 48 ports for dense campus and branch deployments 4 Fits enterprise standardization better than entry-level unmanaged switches
