WS-C3650-12X48FD-E combines twelve multigigabit copper connections with thirty-six Gigabit Ethernet connections in a 48-port, Layer 3 PoE+ access switch. Two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks connect access switching to distribution without a removable network module. The 1U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 family and carries the IP Services feature set. A port schedule should distinguish conventional Gigabit devices from endpoints using the faster copper connections. The discontinued WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E instead provides Cisco UPOE for endpoints requiring a higher per-port power class.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E price for new stock is $11,287.49, a 61.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $29,454.00. WS-C3650-12X48FD-E refurb price is $11,287.49. WS-C3650-12X48FD-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

261.9 Mpps forwarding provides the packet-processing figure for traffic sizing. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support routed-access configurations under IP Services; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. Multicast routing includes PIM-SM and PIM-DM. WS-C3650-12X48FD-E carries 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of flash for runtime state and software storage. The IPv4 scale is 24000 entries including ARP and learned routes, separate from the 32000-entry MAC table. Cisco IOS XE operates with the UADP forwarding architecture. 172.7W at full traffic without PoE loading is the switch-only consumption figure, so electrical planning must account for powered endpoints separately. Cisco UPOE is not supported on this model.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E is available new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified, and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and required accessories on the PO; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is bounded by the October 31, 2026 last support date. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30, and regional stock and RMA cover UK, EU, US and MEA, with advance replacement.

In a large university campus deploying high-density Wi-Fi 6 access points and IoT sensors, the Catalyst 3650 48-port mGig switch (WS-C3650-12X48FD-E) provides multigigabit Power over Ethernet Plus (UPOE) on 12 ports and 2×10G uplinks to the core. Integrated IP Services delivers advanced QoS, secure access via 802.1X, and scalable StackWise™ Virtual so administrators unify wired, wireless and IoT networks. Benefit: Simplified management, guaranteed performance for video and data, and future-proof capacity for 5G-class edge devices.
A geographically distributed retail chain requires high-availability connectivity, secure segmentation and remote management across 50 branch stores. Deploying WS-C3650-12X48FD-E Catalyst 3650 switches with integrated IP Services and embedded Flexible NetFlow allows real-time traffic analytics, policy-based segmentation and hardware accelerated VPN termination. Benefit: Centralized policy enforcement, accelerated application performance, and reduced OPEX through consistent, secure network services at scale.
In a medium-scale data center hosting video streaming and AI compute clusters, the Catalyst 3650 48-port mGig switch aggregates blade server NICs at 2.5/5/10G speeds and uplinks to spine routers over dual 10G links. Advanced IP Services features—OSPF, BGP, and SSO redundancy—ensure dynamic path routing and nonstop operation. Benefit: High-throughput server consolidation, seamless traffic engineering, and hardened infrastructure for latency-sensitive workloads.
An existing copper installation being reused for faster endpoints needs a cable-length check before port assignments are finalized. The multigigabit ports support 10G over Category 6 to 55 m or Category 6a to 100 m. Specify the cabling category and measured run length before the PO.
A routed-access refresh that moves VLAN gateways onto the access switch needs an interface-count plan before equipment is standardized. The switch supports 1000 switched virtual interfaces. Separate gateway counts from endpoint counts, and specify the intended interface layout and software feature set before releasing the PO.
A spare destined for an unheated wiring closet should be staged against its startup conditions, not only the room temperature after equipment is running. Cold start requires a minimum ambient temperature of 0°C. Specify the staging temperature and startup procedure before approving the hardware PO.
More than twelve multigigabit endpoints
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E provides twelve multigigabit access ports; the remaining thirty-six access ports stop at Gigabit Ethernet. More simultaneous multigigabit connections exceed its fixed port configuration.
Endpoint power above 30W
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E supports PoE+ delivery up to 30W per port, not Cisco UPOE. Endpoints requiring more power exceed its per-port capability regardless of supply capacity.

WS-C3650-12X48FD-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 with 48 access ports, including 12 multigigabit ports, two 10G uplinks and IP Services. WS-C3650 names the family; 12X48 captures the mixed port configuration; FD identifies the two-uplink configuration with PWR-C1-1100WAC; E selects IP Services. The complete PID distinguishes this hardware and software combination.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E is managed through Device Manager's web interface, the Configuration Wizard web UI, Cisco IOS CLI over console or Telnet, SSH with cryptographic software, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Administration planning should identify the intended access method, management address and credentials before staging individual switches or an existing stack.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48UXG-4X-A is the replacement model. Remaining hardware inventory does not extend those milestones. Additional purchases therefore need a migration schedule that accounts for the support deadline rather than the purchase date.
The Catalyst 3650 IP Services model uses a perpetual base license; optional Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco DNA Premier subscriptions have a three-year minimum term. Base switching entitlement and subscription coverage are separate. A hardware purchase alone does not establish an active subscription, so the two entitlements need separate confirmation.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E provides a shared 660W PoE budget with PWR-C1-1100WAC and supports PoE+ delivery up to 30W per port. The shared total does not guarantee maximum power on every connection simultaneously. Endpoint sizing must account for simultaneous demand rather than multiplying the port count by each device's maximum rating.
StackWise-160 connects nine Catalyst 3650 members over 160 Gbps, with matching software feature sets required. C3650-STACK-KIT= enables stacking where the hardware is absent; cable choices are STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M=. Existing-stack expansion requires confirmation of installed stacking hardware, cable reach and the IP Services tier before equipment is ordered.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E supplies PoE+ at 30W per port, whereas WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E supplies Cisco UPOE at 60W per port. Both models are discontinued. Existing PoE+ installations align with the FD model; the UQ model's higher per-port power class addresses higher-draw endpoints, subject to its shared power budget and the same lifecycle deadline.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E carries IP Services, while WS-C3650-12X48FD-S carries IP Base. Both models are discontinued. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 distinguish IP Services from the lower tier. The E version suits those routing requirements; the S version serves configurations within IP Base limits, including its narrower routed-access feature set.
C9300L-48UXG-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks, while WS-C3650-12X48FD-E has two 10G uplinks. The Catalyst 3650 model is discontinued, with Cisco support ending October 31, 2026. Existing two-uplink installations may retain the older hardware; migration purchases align with the named Catalyst 9300L replacement and its larger fixed-uplink configuration.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-E is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty bounded by October 31, 2026. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
