Cisco WS-C3850-48U-E Gigabit Ethernet Stackable Switch

Cisco WS-C3850-48U-E is a 1U, stackable Catalyst 3850 switch that provides 48 RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet ports with UPOE and a single removable network module slot for optional expansion, making it suitable for growing access-layer deployments. Powered by an 1100W AC power supply, this model delivers UPOE to connected devices across the access layer and runs the IP Services feature set, enabling integrated routing, security, QoS, and centralized management within a single chassis. Its fixed 1U form factor and stackable design support scalable performance and streamlined cabling across campuses or large office floors, allowing multiple switches to form a single logical stack for simplified configuration and maintenance. With 48 UPOE ports, the WS-C3850-48U-E can power endpoint devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras directly from the switch, reducing the need for separate power infrastructure in many enterprise environments.
