Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port PoE IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-L14HR-FLSA1H8G

Strengthen campus access with a 48-port PoE switch built for enterprise deployment. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 IP Base is designed for networks that need dense edge connectivity, centralized policy control, and dependable power delivery to connected devices. With 48 PoE ports, this platform is well suited to environments where phones, access points, cameras, and other powered endpoints must be deployed at scale. The Catalyst 3850 family is known for access-layer switching that can sit at the center of a wired edge strategy, helping teams standardize on one platform for user access and powered devices. IP Base licensing positions the switch for organizations that want core enterprise switching capabilities without moving into the most advanced feature tiers. That makes it a strong fit for procurement teams comparing access switches by operational fit, not just port count. For buyers who need a serious access-layer platform rather than a basic office switch, this model offers the density and Cisco ecosystem alignment expected in larger environments.
