Cisco Catalyst 3650 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

Product Description

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-48TD-L is a 48-port enterprise LAN switch from the Catalyst 3650 series, designed for high-density access layer deployments in medium and large business networks. This model operates with LAN Base software, providing a cost-effective foundation for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with integrated 10G uplinks for scalable core aggregation. It targets B2B buyers requiring reliable, stackable switching infrastructure for campus or branch office environments.

Application Area

The WS-C3650-48TD-L is deployed as an access layer switch in enterprise campus networks, connecting end-user devices such as workstations, IP phones, and printers. It is also suitable for small-to-medium data center top-of-rack (ToR) roles where non-PoE 48-port density and 10G uplinks are required for server or storage aggregation. Its LAN Base software makes it appropriate for branch offices and remote sites needing robust Layer 2 switching with basic Layer 3 static routing.
