Cisco WS-C3850-48T-S 3850 Series Switch With C3850-NM-4-1G and Single Power Supply WSC385048TS

Description:

The Cisco WS-C3850-48T-S Catalyst 3850 Series Switch with C3850-NM-4-1G uplink module (WSC385048TS) is used in enterprise network infrastructures to deliver high-performance Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching for wired network access and aggregation. This switch features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting network devices and includes the C3850-NM-4-1G network module that provides four 1 Gigabit SFP uplink interfaces for high-speed connectivity to aggregation or core switches. As part of the Catalyst 3850 Series, it supports advanced switching functions, Cisco StackWise-480 technology for switch stacking, and centralized management through Cisco IOS XE software. With a single power supply configuration and rack-mountable design, the switch provides scalable and reliable network connectivity for enterprise access-layer deployments.

Applications:

The Cisco WS-C3850-48T-S switch is commonly deployed in enterprise campus networks, corporate offices, educational institutions, and commercial facilities where high-density Ethernet connectivity is required. It is widely used to connect workstations, servers, printers, and other network-enabled devices within structured LAN infrastructures. With its uplink module and support for switch stacking, the device is also suitable for access-layer switching environments that require scalable expansion and reliable connectivity to distribution or core network layers.
