Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port UPOE IP Base | Enterprise Switch — CON-L1NBD-FLSA12X

Keep high-density access networks organized, powered, and ready for growth with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 48 Port UPOE IP Base. This platform is designed for enterprise environments that need more than basic switching: it brings 48 ports, UPOE support, and IP Base feature capabilities into a single access-layer system built for predictable operation. For teams standardizing campus switching, the 3850 family is valued for its ability to consolidate wired access and power delivery while preserving a familiar Cisco management model. UPOE support helps simplify device deployment at the edge, especially where phones, wireless access points, and other powered endpoints need consistent service. The 48-port configuration is well suited to access closets that must support many users without sacrificing control or visibility. IP Base makes this model a practical fit for organizations that want enterprise switching capabilities without moving into more complex feature sets than they need. It is a strong choice when the goal is to keep the network stable, support endpoint density, and reduce the friction that comes with piecing together lower-tier hardware. For buyers comparing price points, this model earns its place by combining port density, power delivery, and Cisco access-layer credibility in one platform.
