WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L combines twelve multigigabit copper ports with thirty-six Gigabit Ethernet ports and two fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks. This managed Layer 2+ enterprise access switch supplies Cisco UPOE through its copper downlinks and ships with LAN Base in a 1U rack-mount chassis. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 configuration accommodates mixed-speed endpoint connections without a removable uplink card. The discontinued WS-C3650-12X48FD-L sibling provides PoE+ rather than UPOE.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L price for new stock is $5,775.00, a 74.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $22,754.00. WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L refurb price is $1,362.90. WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

472 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for access and uplink traffic. 351.19 Mpps forwarding rate defines packet-processing throughput. WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L has 4 GB DRAM and 4 GB flash for software operation and storage, while its UADP ASIC handles forwarding. A 32000-entry MAC table accommodates learned Ethernet addresses. RSTP and MSTP support spanning-tree operation; limited static routing is available, but the shipped license does not enable OSPF or BGPv4. The Catalyst 3650 Series configuration reaches 184W in the full-traffic power test without PoE loading, so that figure excludes endpoint power.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L is available new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with every powered port tested under load, firmware verified, and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and accessory requirements on the PO before ordering. ORM's new warranty is up to 3-year extended and certified refurbished warranty is up to 1 year; all conditions include 30-day returns, terms apply, while Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty for eligible original owners is bounded by the October 31, 2026 service end date. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA regions.

In a multi-floor corporate office deploying 48 Cisco Catalyst Wi-Fi 6 access points, the WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L provides 48 MGig PoE++ ports and 2×40 Gbps uplinks to power high-bandwidth APs over existing cabling. Outcome: Simplified infrastructure, zero point-of-failure power delivery and seamless 802.11ax performance, boosting end-user productivity and minimizing downtime.
At a university’s network core, stacking four WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L switches delivers 576 Gbps of non-blocking bandwidth and dual 40 Gbps uplinks to the data center. Benefit: Deterministic high-capacity backbone, advanced QoS for voice/video, and linear growth support ensure future-proof academic connectivity and resilient campus-wide services.
In a smart manufacturing plant, the WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L powers and connects 48 MGig IoT sensors, cameras, and safety devices while enforcing Cisco TrustSec segmentation. Benefit: Granular policy enforcement, real-time analytics, and robust PoE++ simplify OT/IT convergence, reducing security risk and driving operational efficiency.
When an existing LAN Base stack needs another member, the added unit must use a matching feature set. Stacking adapters are optional. Specify C3650-STACK-KIT= and select STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= for the cable run, then verify the existing stack's license consistency before the PO.
When a hardware refresh retains existing copper runs, the intended link speed determines the cabling requirement. A 10G connection permits 55 m on Category 6 or 100 m on Category 6a. Verify cable category and run length before specifying replacement patching on the PO.
When replacement hardware will be staged in an unheated location, startup temperature needs a separate check from operating temperature. The minimum cold-start ambient is 0°C. Include a temperature-controlled staging step in the procurement plan and verify the receiving site's startup conditions before releasing the PO.
Dynamic routing without a license upgrade
LAN Base provides limited static routing, not OSPF or BGPv4. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-A is the current migration option for the discontinued higher-license variants.
Multigigabit on every copper port
Only twelve access ports support multigigabit speeds; the remaining thirty-six are Gigabit Ethernet. A requirement for forty-eight multigigabit endpoint connections exceeds this model's hardware.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E is the current replacement for purchases that must move beyond the Catalyst 3650 support window.

WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L identifies a Catalyst 3650: 12X corresponds to twelve multigigabit ports, 48 to forty-eight access ports, UZ to the UPOE configuration with two 40G uplinks, and L to LAN Base. The remaining thirty-six access ports operate at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and stacking is optional.
The Catalyst 3650 supports Device Manager web management, CLI through console or Telnet, SSH with the appropriate cryptographic software image, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Local console access is available through RJ-45 or USB. Wireless controller configuration requires a higher feature set than the supplied LAN Base license.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L is discontinued: its end-of-sale date was October 31, 2021, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance releases ended October 31, 2022. The named replacement is C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E, while purchases of legacy hardware must account for the remaining support boundary.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty covers eligible original owners; all Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L ships with perpetual LAN Base, with RTU upgrades to IP Base or IP Services. Optional Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier subscriptions start at three years and require an eligible upgraded base license. The subscription term is separate from the perpetual network feature set.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L provides a shared 660W PoE budget with its supplied PWR-C1-1100WAC, and Cisco UPOE supports 60W per port. The budget does not permit every powered port to draw that maximum simultaneously. A second internal power-supply bay is available, but the second supply is optional.
Yes, WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L supports StackWise-160 with nine members and 160 Gbps stack bandwidth. Stacking requires C3650-STACK-KIT= and compatible cables: STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M=. LAN Base members must retain a matching feature set; Catalyst 3650 and Catalyst 3850 switches cannot share a physical stack.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L supports Cisco UPOE at 60W per port, whereas WS-C3650-12X48FD-L supports PoE+ at 30W per port. Both models are discontinued. The FD model aligns with existing PoE+ endpoint requirements; the UZ model serves legacy replacement orders requiring UPOE power negotiation.
WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L ships with LAN Base, while WS-C3650-12X48UZ-S ships with IP Base. Both models are discontinued. LAN Base covers Layer 2 switching with limited static routing; IP Base adds routed-access capabilities, including OSPF for routed access, for buyers maintaining an existing higher-license installation.
C9300L-48UXG-2Q-E is the current successor to discontinued WS-C3650-12X48UZ-L, whose Cisco service ends October 31, 2026. The original model remains relevant to legacy fleet sparing, while the successor is the migration choice for hardware refreshes that move away from the Catalyst 3650 lifecycle.
