Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port PoE IP Base | Layer 3, Enterprise Switch — CON-NCFT-C9130ACB

Keep access networks organized, powered, and ready for growth with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise edge environments, it combines 48 PoE-enabled Ethernet ports with Cisco’s IP Base feature set to support common access-layer requirements across wired clients, phones, cameras, and wireless infrastructure. This platform fits teams that need more than simple connectivity. IP Base provides the routing and segmentation capabilities expected in managed campus switching, while PoE simplifies endpoint deployment by reducing the need for separate power runs. That makes it a practical fit for offices, IDF closets, and distributed sites where uptime, port density, and operational consistency matter. The Catalyst 3850 family is designed for organizations that want a stable access switch with room to standardize. It is a strong choice when you need to consolidate endpoint power, maintain VLAN separation, and keep the network architecture aligned with Cisco operational practices. For procurement teams, it offers a clear reason to invest above entry-level switches: fewer power adapters, cleaner cabling, and a platform built for sustained enterprise use.
