48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Access Switch

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 delivers 48 RJ45 ports with full PoE+ support on every interface. Managed Layer 2 operation and StackWise-480 stacking give enterprises a single control plane for wired and wireless traffic. Dual 110 V AC and 220 V AC input and a 715 W supply power connected devices directly from the rack.

Replacing Non-PoE or Lower-Power Edge Switches

The jump is worth it when access points, IP phones or cameras need 802.3at power and you want to collapse separate injectors into the switch itself. Stackable uplinks let you grow port count without redesigning the management layer. Buyers staying on unmanaged 10/100 gear or needing Layer 3 routing at the edge will not get those features here.

Check Rack Depth, Power Budget and Licence Tier

Verify the cabinet can accept a 23.2 kg rack-mount chassis and that your PDUs deliver 110 V AC or 220 V AC to the included 715 W supply. Confirm the LAN Base licence covers the VLAN, QoS and SNMP features you plan to use. Ensure twisted-pair cabling meets 1000Base-T specs for the full 48 ports.

Questions about this item

What rack width and depth clearance does the WS-C3850-48P-L need for the included 715 W AC power supply?

The switch is rack-mountable and ships with a 715 W AC power supply; allow space at the rear for the supply and cable bend radius.

Which step is often missed when stacking the switch using StackWise-480?

Connect the stacking cables, then run the stack configuration commands and reload all members so the stack forms a single logical unit.

Which field-replaceable parts will need attention over the life of the WS-C3850-48P-L?

The 715 W AC power supply and the redundant fans are modular and field-replaceable for ongoing maintenance.
