Cisco WS-C3650-48FWD-S is a Layer 3, PoE-capable Catalyst 3650 switch built for dense access deployments and campus distribution. It provides 48 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet PoE ports plus 2 x 10-Gigabit uplinks (SFP+), enabling both device power delivery and high-speed interswitch connectivity. This model ships with five AP licenses and runs the IP Base feature set, delivering essential IPv4/IPv6 routing, ACLs, QoS, and security features in a compact 1U form factor. Designed for mid-sized networks, it powers IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras directly from the switch while maintaining scalable performance through integrated routing and VLAN support. With enterprise-grade features that balance access-layer efficiency with edge routing capabilities, the WS-C3650-48FWD-S helps simplify network convergence, improve policy enforcement, and support reliable traffic segmentation across the campus.
