Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-NCFW-C9500Q24

Maintain stable access switching for wired users and powered endpoints with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Base. Built for enterprise campus closets, this platform combines 48 copper access ports with PoE delivery to reduce external power adapters and simplify endpoint rollout across voice, wireless, and security devices. IP Base licensing gives IT teams the routing and segmentation capabilities commonly needed at the access layer, helping keep traffic organized as networks scale. That makes this switch a practical fit for organizations that want more control than a basic Layer 2 edge device without moving to a more complex core design. The Catalyst 3850 family is known for integration into Cisco-managed environments, where consistency, policy control, and operational familiarity matter. For procurement teams, that translates into a switch that fits established Cisco standards and supports long-term campus refresh planning. Choose this model when you need a 48-port PoE access switch that can support dense endpoint counts, reduce power clutter, and align with enterprise network architecture already built around Cisco switching.
