Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Services | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-SSSNE-WSC388PE

Sustain wired access, voice, and wireless infrastructure from a switch built for enterprise control. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE IP Services model combines 48 Power over Ethernet ports with Cisco IP Services, giving network teams the routing and policy capabilities needed at the access layer. This class of switch is designed for environments where uptime, segmentation, and predictable performance matter. PoE support simplifies deployment for phones, access points, and cameras by reducing the need for separate power runs. IP Services adds the feature depth expected in larger campus networks, where static routing and advanced Layer 3 functions can be part of the access design. For organizations standardizing on Cisco switching, the 3850 family offers a familiar operational model and a strong fit for enterprise closets, branch aggregation, and access distribution. It is a practical choice when the network must support more devices, more policy, and more resilience than entry-level switches can provide.
