Product identity

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 48-port 10G fiber switch is a managed, rack-mountable platform built for enterprise networks that need dense 10GBase-X connectivity. It suits administrators who require Layer 2 and Layer 3 services across a single 1U chassis with forty-eight SFP+ ports.

Sustained-load behaviour

The switch maintains wire-rate forwarding across all forty-eight ports under continuous traffic without oversubscription. Its hardware-based forwarding engine keeps latency predictable during prolonged bursts, while redundant power-supply slots protect uptime if a supply fails.

Deciding specification

Forty-eight 10GBase-X ports in a single managed chassis. Buyers who need copper 10GBASE-T density or fewer than forty-eight fiber uplinks should evaluate other form factors.
