The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48U-L switch provides an exceptional balance of power and performance for modern enterprise networks. With 48 universal Power Over Ethernet Plus (UPOE) ports, this switch can transmit both power and data to a wide range of devices, making it versatile for multiple applications, from high-speed wireless access points to security cameras and IP phones. It eliminates the need for additional electrical outlets and simplifies deployment, while the 800W power budget means that even the most power-hungry devices can be supported.
Stackability is a crucial factor for scalable network architecture. The Catalyst 3850 allows for up to 9 units in a stack, achieving an impressive 480 Gbps of throughput. This means as demand increases, more switches can be seamlessly added, leading to increased resilience and efficiency without the need for complex reconfiguration. Moreover, the switch’s LAN Base feature set is suitable for layer 2 switching functions, providing a solid foundation for any enterprise network.
Network security remains a top priority, and the WS-C3850-48U-L delivers a range of features to protect your infrastructure. Advanced encryption, identity-based network services, and segmentation capabilities are all part of the package, securing sensitive data against threats both internal and external. Furthermore, the switch comes with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, ensuring that critical network traffic is prioritized effectively.
The integration with Cisco’s Digital Network Architecture (DNA) also offers a smart, software-defined approach to networking that leverages analytics and automation, significantly reducing the time needed to deploy and manage your network devices. This is not just a switch; it’s an investment in the future-proofing, security, and efficiency of your network. Choosing the Cisco Catalyst WS-C3850-48U-L means selecting a platform that will continue to support the evolving needs of your business.
Cisco next generation Catalyst WS-C3850-48U-L is stackable enterprise level switch and integrated with 48 Ethernet UPOE ports in LAN Base feature set. It offers up to 800W UPOE per switch and 60W per port.
