WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E is a managed Layer 3 access switch with 36 Gigabit Ethernet downlinks, 12 multigigabit downlinks reaching 10G, and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. All 48 downlinks support Cisco UPOE. The Catalyst 3650 includes the IP Services feature set in a full-width 1U chassis. The fixed uplink configuration must be selected with the hardware rather than expanded through an uplink module.
WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E price for new stock is $5,775.00. WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E refurb price is $701.66. WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

392 Gbps switching capacity and 291.66 Mpps forwarding support the mixed-speed configuration. WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 under IP Services. The 186.6W consumption figure excludes endpoint PoE loading and therefore is not total loaded-system draw.
WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E is available new sealed or certified refurbished. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed port links and clean boot, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the order: new units receive up to a 3-year extended warranty, refurbished units up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying. ORM accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, and maintains regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Scenario: A large university deploys WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E (Catalyst 3650 48-port mGig with 4×10G uplink and IP Services) in each academic building’s wiring closet to power and aggregate Wi-Fi 6 access points requiring PoE++ and multi-gigabit backhaul. Benefit/Outcome: Delivers up to 2.5× higher per-AP throughput, seamless client roaming, centralized QoS and power management, and future-proof multi-gig connectivity—ensuring 10,000+ concurrent students enjoy high-density wireless performance without packet loss.
Scenario: A regional finance branch implements WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E with IP Services license to enable OSPF-EIGRP routing, Cisco TrustSec SGT segmentation and 4×10G uplinks to the data center core. Benefit/Outcome: Provides wire-rate L3 switching, dynamic policy-based access control, and encrypted data segmentation—reducing branch firewall load by 40%, accelerating inter-site failover to under 5 seconds and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Scenario: A professional sports stadium uses WS-C3650-12X48UQ-E to power over 60 4K PoE++ cameras, digital signage and access control devices across multiple concourse zones, with 4×10G uplinks to the security operations center. Benefit/Outcome: Enables up to 90W per port for 4K video streams, guarantees zero-frame loss with priority QoS, consolidates power and data on a single 48-port switch, and simplifies monitoring—improving incident response times by 50%.
When adding capacity to an existing access stack, verify the installed members' feature sets before selecting another unit. Catalyst 3650 stacks require matching license levels. Include the stacking hardware and cable lengths in the purchasing review, and confirm IP Services compatibility before the PO.
When a fabric deployment is quoted separately from replacement hardware, distinguish the base network license from term subscriptions. Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier have three-year minimum terms. Specify the required subscription entitlement separately, and verify its availability and ownership before the PO.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48UXG-4X-A is the migration replacement, retaining 48 ports, 12 multigigabit ports and four 10G uplinks with Network Advantage.
Maximum power on every endpoint
The single-supply 660W budget cannot provide 60W simultaneously across all 48 ports. Size the powered-device allocation before ordering; the budget is shared.
