Cisco WS-C3650-48PS-E Power Over Ethernet Switch

Cisco WS-C3650-48PS-E is a Catalyst 3650 Series 1U PoE+ switch that provides 48 PoE+ Ethernet ports (10/100/1000) plus four fixed 1‑Gigabit uplink ports in a compact rack‑unit chassis, making it well suited for campus access and distribution networks. It carries a 640 W AC power budget to power PoE devices across all ports, enabling deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras without external power injectors. Sold as a standalone switch with optional stacking for scalable growth, it runs Cisco IOS XE with IP Services to deliver advanced routing, QoS, security, and policy‑based management alongside traditional Layer 2 switching. The 1U form factor supports straightforward rack integration in network closets or compact data‑center edge deployments, while the four 1G uplinks provide flexible connections to distribution or aggregation tiers.
