WS-C3650-48FS-S

The Cisco Catalyst 3650-48FS-S is a robust network switch built for organizations needing reliable, scalable connectivity. Often found in medium to large enterprise environments, it supports power over Ethernet (PoE+) to power devices like IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points directly through the network cable.

Commonly used in wiring closets and server rooms, it offers Layer 3 capabilities, making it suitable for more complex network topologies that require routing between VLANs. Network administrators benefit from its managed features, allowing fine control over traffic and security policies.

Key Features

• 48 PoE+ ports supply up to 30W per port for flexible device deployment
• Four SFP uplink slots facilitate high-speed fiber connections to core switches
• Layer 3 support includes routing protocols like OSPF and EIGRP
• StackWise-160 technology enables stacking up to 9 units for simplified management
• Advanced QoS and security features protect and prioritize network traffic

This switch is typically deployed in enterprise campus networks or branch offices where both power and data over a single cable simplify infrastructure. It helps reduce equipment clutter and enhances network reliability by combining switching and routing capabilities in one device.
