Keep access-layer infrastructure simple, powered, and predictable with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port PoE LAN Base. This switch is designed for campus and branch environments where a large number of endpoints need both network connectivity and inline power from a single platform. The 48 PoE ports make it a practical choice for IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and desktop devices that must stay online through a centralized switching layer. LAN Base licensing aligns the feature set with access switching needs, giving IT teams a focused platform for endpoint connectivity without unnecessary complexity. For organizations standardizing on Cisco in the access layer, the Catalyst 3850 offers a familiar operational model and the port density needed to consolidate closets, simplify cabling, and support mixed endpoint deployments. It is a strong fit when uptime, power delivery, and manageable access switching matter more than chasing oversized feature sets.
