Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port PoE IP Base | Layer 3, Enterprise Switch — CON-SNC-G2029NA1

Keep critical users connected with a switch platform designed for dense access-layer deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Base brings 48 powered Ethernet ports to the network edge, making it a strong fit for IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other PoE devices that must stay online during business hours. IP Base licensing provides the switching capabilities many enterprise access networks require, including the control needed for segmented VLAN environments and managed campus connectivity. For teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure, the 3850 family offers a familiar operational model and a practical path for extending wired access without moving to a more expensive feature set than the environment requires. This model is well suited to organizations that want stable performance, centralized administration, and enough PoE capacity to support mixed endpoint deployments. It is a sensible choice when uptime, port density, and predictable network behavior matter more than chasing lower-cost hardware with limited power budgets or fewer enterprise controls.
