WS-C3650-12X48FD-L combines 12 multigigabit copper ports with 36 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a managed, 1U enterprise access switch. The multigigabit connections support 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps, while all access ports support PoE+. Two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks connect the access switch upstream without a removable network module. The Catalyst 3650 configuration ships with LAN Base for Layer 2 switching and limited static routing, serving powered access points, IP phones and wired endpoints. The discontinued WS-C3650-12X48UQ-L differs on endpoint power by supporting Cisco UPOE rather than PoE+. That distinction matters when matching a replacement unit to the power requirements of an existing installation.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L price for new stock is $5,775.00, a 64.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $16,356.00. WS-C3650-12X48FD-L refurb price is $1,328.25. WS-C3650-12X48FD-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

261.9 Mpps forwarding capacity provides the packet-processing figure for evaluating the intended traffic load. 660W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocations to remain within the available budget rather than assuming maximum output simultaneously across every powered port. 172.7W consumption at full traffic excludes PoE loading and therefore is not the loaded AC-feed requirement. WS-C3650-12X48FD-L includes 4 GB of DRAM and 4 GB of flash for runtime operation and local software storage. A 32000-entry MAC table supports endpoint learning across the access network. RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree operation, while LACP supports negotiated link aggregation. Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series switches use the UADP ASIC for forwarding. Limited static routing is included with LAN Base; full BGP routing requires the IP Services feature set rather than the supplied entitlement.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L is available from ORM Systems new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on 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, quantity and accessories on the PO; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty remains eligibility-dependent, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. Enterprise and volume purchasing includes PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a university campus deploying 500+ Wi-Fi 6 access points, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port mGig switch with LAN Base and 2×10G uplinks aggregates multi-gigabit backhaul traffic seamlessly. Benefit: Delivers predictable high-speed connectivity, centralized policy enforcement and scalable throughput for peak academic workloads.
In a manufacturing plant connecting 2,000+ PoE-powered sensors and HD cameras, the WS-C3650-12X48FD-L switch supplies multi-gigabit PoE+ and redundant 10G uplinks to support real-time analytics. Benefit: Ensures uninterrupted operations, bolsters predictive maintenance and enforces network segmentation for operational safety.
In a retail branch integrating Ethernet workstations, VoIP phones and Wi-Fi APs, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port mGig LAN Base switch offers QoS, security segmentation and 2×10G uplinks to headquarters. Benefit: Simplifies management, guarantees application performance and reduces total cost of ownership.
When existing copper cabling forms part of a branch rollout, qualify cable runs before assigning multigigabit endpoints. A 10G connection supports 100 m over Category 6a, while Category 6 is limited to 55 m. Record cable category and length before finalizing endpoint assignments, installation requirements and purchase quantities.
Before a lab configuration becomes a production standard, confirm that intended segmentation fits the LAN Base limit of 255 VLANs. Separate configuration validation from hardware acceptance, and record the software entitlement required by the build. Specify the validated license level and firmware requirements before issuing the purchase order.
60W power for individual endpoints
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L provides PoE+, not Cisco UPOE. An endpoint requiring 60W exceeds this model's per-port capability and requires a switch supporting the higher power class.
Multigigabit speed on every access port
Only 12 access ports support multigigabit speeds; the other 36 are Gigabit Ethernet. A requirement for multigigabit connectivity across every access connection exceeds this configuration.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48UXG-4X-E is the current replacement, retaining 48 access ports and increasing the fixed 10G uplink count to four.

WS-C3650-12X48FD-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 configuration: WS-C3650 names the family, 12X corresponds to 12 multigigabit ports, and 48 indicates the access-port count. FD identifies this fixed two-10G-uplink configuration with its 1100W AC supply, while L selects LAN Base. The remaining 36 access ports operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L supports Device Manager through a web browser, Cisco IOS CLI through console or remote Telnet access, SSH with the cryptographic image, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Local CLI access uses the RJ-45 or USB mini-Type B console connection. Wireless Configuration Wizard functionality requires the applicable higher software entitlement.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L is discontinued, with an end-of-sale date of October 31, 2021, and a last date of Cisco support of October 31, 2026. Eligible service cannot continue beyond that final milestone. C9300L-48UXG-4X-E is the current replacement for buyers planning a refresh rather than purchasing an exact legacy spare.
ORM offers WS-C3650-12X48FD-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty remains subject to original-owner eligibility, with Cisco service ending October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L includes permanent LAN Base, while IP Base and IP Services require separate feature-set entitlements. Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage were offered as three-, five- or seven-year subscriptions; Cisco DNA Advantage requires IP Base or IP Services. Check subscription expiration and Smart Account entitlements separately from hardware condition.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L provides a shared 660W PoE budget with its default PWR-C1-1100WAC supply, and each powered port supports a 30W PoE+ maximum. The aggregate budget does not permit every access port to draw that maximum simultaneously. Record endpoint allocations and verify the proposed supply configuration before ordering.
The Catalyst 3650 supports StackWise-160 with nine members, but WS-C3650-12X48FD-L requires matching LAN Base partners and cannot mix with Catalyst 3850 switches. Stacking requires C3650-STACK-KIT= adapters where absent. Cable options are STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M=; specify the lengths required by the physical stack arrangement.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L ships with PWR-C1-1100WAC in the first supply bay, while a second internal supply is optional. PWR-C1-715WAC is also supported, but changing the supply configuration changes available endpoint power. Confirm the installed supply inventory and specify any additional PWR-C1-1100WAC= supply separately on the purchase order.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L has two fixed 10G SFP+ uplink ports rather than a removable uplink-card bay. The SFP+ interfaces also support Gigabit Ethernet operation with compatible SFP transceivers. Specify the intended uplink speed and supported optics when preparing the order; a network-module purchase does not add uplink ports to this model.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L provides PoE+, whereas discontinued WS-C3650-12X48UQ-L supports Cisco UPOE, changing the per-port ceiling from 30W to 60W subject to the aggregate power budget. The PoE+ model suits matching lower-draw legacy endpoints; the UPOE variant identifies higher-draw legacy installations. Both Catalyst 3650 variants are discontinued.
WS-C3650-12X48FD-L ships with LAN Base, while discontinued WS-C3650-12X48FD-S ships with IP Base. The distinction is the supplied software entitlement, not an interchangeable suffix. The LAN Base model suits matching an existing LAN Base configuration; the IP Base PID identifies a different feature tier. Both models are discontinued.
C9300L-48UXG-4X-E carries four fixed 10G uplinks, whereas WS-C3650-12X48FD-L has two. C9300L-48UXG-4X-E is the current replacement for the discontinued Catalyst 3650 model. The older PID suits an exact legacy-sparing requirement; the replacement suits a refresh requiring the current model and additional fixed 10G upstream connections.
