Cisco WS-C3850-48P-S Enterprise Managed Switch

The Cisco WS-C3850-48P-S is an enterprise-class managed Ethernet switch from the Cisco Catalyst Switch family, delivering 48 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and two 10 Gb uplinks via the C3850-NM-2-10G module. It provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed switching for high-density access with scalable expansion in campus and enterprise networks, and it ships with a single internal power supply while supporting Cisco StackWise for stacking and growth. The uplink module, C3850-NM-2-10G, creates two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces that can connect to distribution or data-center links. Management is available through CLI, SNMP, and a web-based interface, offering flexible control and visibility to network administrators. This model is well suited for enterprise LAN deployments, VoIP phone systems, wireless access point deployments, IP surveillance networks, and branch offices where centralized switching provides both data connectivity and power to PoE-enabled devices. Common replacements listed for this model include Cisco C9300-48P-A, Cisco C9200L-48P-4X, and Aruba 2930F-48G-PoE+ Switch.
