• Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port PoE Switch Features

  The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-Port PoE Switch (WS-C3850-48P) with C3850-NM-4-1G module is a stackable, enterprise-class access-layer switch. It offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with IEEE 802.3at PoE+, providing 30W per port. Thus, it powers IP phones, access points, and cameras efficiently. Additionally, the C3850-NM-4-1G module includes four 1G SFP uplink ports for flexible connectivity.

  Powered by Cisco’s UADP ASIC, the switch ensures consistent wired-wireless policy enforcement. It supports 40 Gbps wireless throughput, handling 100 access points and 2,000 clients per switch. Moreover, Cisco StackWise-480 allows stacking up to nine switches, offering 480 Gbps throughput. Meanwhile, StackPower technology enhances efficiency through dynamic power sharing or redundancy.

  Furthermore, the switch provides Layer 3 features with IP Base or IP Services licensing. It supports IPv4/IPv6 routing, multicast routing, and advanced QoS. Flexible NetFlow offers traffic visibility, while AES-256 encryption ensures security. Also, Energy-Efficient Ethernet and per-port power management reduce consumption.

  For reliability, the switch includes modular, hot-swappable network modules and redundant fans. Dual power supplies, like PWR-C1-715WAC, provide a 435W PoE budget. Consequently, its 176 Gbps switching capacity prevents bottlenecks. The integrated wireless controller supports 802.11ac standards. Besides, Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Prime simplify management with CLI and unified monitoring.

  Finally, the Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty includes next-business-day hardware replacement. Therefore, the WS-C3850-48P is ideal for enterprise and campus networks, delivering performance and scalability.
