Cisco Catalyst 3650 48-Port Full PoE 4x1G Uplink

Keep critical access services running on a switch built for high-density campus edge deployments. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port Full PoE 4x1G Uplink IP Base configuration delivers 48 powered access ports and four 1 Gb uplinks, giving network teams the port density and uplink capacity needed for phones, access points, cameras, and user endpoints. This model is well suited for organizations that need consistent power delivery at the edge without adding separate injectors or midspan hardware. Full PoE support simplifies deployment planning, reduces cable clutter, and helps standardize access-layer builds across offices, classrooms, and distributed facilities. The 1 Gb uplinks provide straightforward aggregation into upstream switching, while the IP Base feature set fits common campus access requirements. For teams replacing older access switches, the 3650 platform offers a practical balance of scale, power, and operational predictability. It is a strong fit where uptime, port availability, and clean network segmentation matter more than low-cost commodity switching. This is the kind of access switch chosen when the network must support real workloads, not just basic connectivity.
