WS-C3650-48FD-E combines 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports with IP Services Layer 3 functionality in a 1U enterprise access switch. Two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks connect the access edge to distribution without a removable uplink card. The Catalyst 3650 configuration serves wired devices, IP phones and wireless access points, with endpoint power allocated from a shared budget. IP Services distinguishes this variant from lower software tiers when the purchase requires advanced unicast or multicast routing. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PD-E is the lower-PoE-budget sibling. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch uses internal power rather than an external adapter and includes an empty second power-supply position for an additional supply.
WS-C3650-48FD-E price for new stock is $10,148.25, a 67.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $31,548.00. WS-C3650-48FD-E refurb price is $303.56. WS-C3650-48FD-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for access and uplink traffic, while 104.16 Mpps forwarding rate establishes the packet-processing specification for this hardware configuration. A 775W PoE budget supplies connected endpoints, subject to aggregate demand rather than simultaneous maximum output on every port. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support advanced IPv4 routing; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routed connectivity to IPv6. PIM-SM, PIM-DM and SSM support multicast applications under IP Services. WS-C3650-48FD-E carries 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash for software operation and storage. Its IPv4 scale totals 24000 ARP and learned-route entries, while the MAC table accommodates 32000 entries. LACP supports aggregated links, and configurable QoS policies govern traffic classification and scheduling. Cisco IOS XE runs on the UADP forwarding architecture. Native copper access remains Gigabit Ethernet; multigigabit downlinks and UPOE are not capabilities of this model.
WS-C3650-48FD-E is offered new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is original-owner restricted, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with every port linked at rated speed, PoE output verified under load, firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories before ordering; POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government. Enterprise and volume orders have regional stock/RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA, plus RMA with advance replacement.

In a 200-user financial services firm, network engineers deploy the WS-C3650-48FD-E Catalyst 3650 48-port full PoE+ switch to power IP phones and HD conferencing cameras across two floors. The 2×10G uplinks integrate into the core campus network, while Cisco IP Services enable QoS prioritization and advanced security policies. Benefit: Delivers crystal-clear voice/video communication, reduces cabling costs by 40%, and ensures consistent business continuity with 99.99% uptime.
A university IT team uses the WS-C3650-48FD-E as an access-layer aggregator for eight residence hall distribution switches. Its full PoE+ ports power wireless APs and VoIP phones, 2×10G uplinks connect to the data center core, and integrated IP Services provide DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, and IPv6 routing for secure multi-layer segmentation. Benefit: Streamlines network operations, boosts student network performance by 50%, and enforces policy compliance to reduce security incidents.
In a flagship retail store, the Catalyst 3650 48-port full PoE switch powers POS terminals, digital signage, and IP surveillance cameras over a unified PoE fabric. The dual 10G uplinks feed a cloud-connected analytics engine, while Cisco IP Services enable secure VPNs and DPI-based threat prevention. Benefit: Centralizes store device management, lowers IT overhead by 30%, and safeguards customer data with enterprise-grade security.
When replacing discontinued WS-C3560X-48PF-E or WS-C3560X-48U-E equipment, WS-C3650-48FD-E is a named migration model. The older products reached end of sale on October 30, 2016. Before issuing the PO, compare existing endpoint requirements, uplink connections and configuration dependencies with the replacement hardware rather than treating the migration as an identical chassis exchange.
When the endpoint inventory requires 30W from every powered port, full-port PoE+ requires two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies. Specify an additional PWR-C2-1025WAC= rather than relying on the factory single-supply configuration. Before placing the order, aggregate endpoint demand and distinguish expanded power capacity from the capacity that must remain available after a supply failure.
When a lab or staging purchase must reproduce traffic-monitoring configuration before deployment, the 48-port model supports 48000 Flexible NetFlow entries. Establish the intended exporter, collector and observation scope during staging rather than assuming an existing monitoring configuration transfers unchanged. Specify the software feature set and configuration acceptance checks before the PO.
Four simultaneous 10G uplinks
WS-C3650-48FD-E provides two 10G uplinks, not four. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is its current replacement with four 10G uplinks and the same access-port count.
Endpoint power above 30W
WS-C3650-48FD-E supports PoE+ rather than UPOE. A larger aggregate power allocation does not change its per-port ceiling; endpoints requiring more than 30W need another power arrangement.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco support for WS-C3650-48FD-E ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48PF-4X-A is the current replacement to evaluate when the procurement requirement extends beyond that support milestone.

WS-C3650-48FD-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 with 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, two 10G uplinks and IP Services. WS-C3650 identifies the family, 48 identifies access-port quantity, F denotes the full-PoE configuration, D identifies the two-10G uplink variant, and E identifies IP Services rather than IP Base or LAN Base.
WS-C3650-48FD-E supports a local console CLI, remote CLI through SSH or Telnet, a browser-based Device Manager and configuration wizard, SNMP management, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Browser management handles configuration and monitoring, while the CLI provides detailed configuration control. SSH requires the appropriate cryptographic software image.
WS-C3650-48FD-E reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. The replacement is C9300L-48PF-4X-A. A remaining hardware purchase does not restart Cisco's lifecycle dates or create a new manufacturer support period.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48FD-E new sealed with up to 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 warranty is restricted to the original owner and ends with Cisco support on October 31, 2026. ORM coverage is separate.
WS-C3650-48FD-E carries the perpetual IP Services base feature set. Subscription paths have included Cisco DNA Essentials, Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier, starting at three years; Cisco DNA Advantage also had a five-year option. Subscription entitlement is separate from hardware condition and the perpetual base license.
WS-C3650-48FD-E replaces WS-C3560X-48PF-E and WS-C3560X-48U-E, both discontinued with an October 30, 2016 end-of-sale date. The migration does not make endpoint-power capabilities identical, particularly for equipment previously using UPOE. Confirm endpoint demand and configuration requirements before treating either older switch as a direct hardware interchange.
WS-C3650-48FD-E provides a shared 775W PoE allocation with its default PWR-C2-1025WAC supply and supports 30W per PoE+ port. The single-supply allocation does not support maximum draw across all powered ports simultaneously. Full-port 30W PoE+ requires two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies, so specify an additional PWR-C2-1025WAC= when necessary.
The Catalyst 3650 two-10G configuration provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks and two additional 1G SFP uplinks. The SFP+ interfaces also support Gigabit operation, allowing a four-1G configuration. These are fixed interfaces, not a removable uplink module; specify compatible optics and the intended link speeds on the purchase order.
Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stacks nine members with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Stacking requires C3650-STACK-KIT= and compatible STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cables. The stack operates as one managed switching system, so confirm the installed stack hardware and cable lengths rather than counting Ethernet uplink ports as stacking connections.
The IP Services Catalyst 3650 supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4, plus OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 for IPv6. PIM-SM, PIM-DM and SSM provide multicast routing. These capabilities belong to IP Services rather than the restricted routed-access feature set associated with IP Base, so verify the ordered software tier.
WS-C3650-48FD-E provides a 775W default PoE allocation, while WS-C3650-48PD-E provides 390W. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3650 configurations. The FD model suits orders with greater aggregate endpoint-power demand; the PD model suits lower-power inventories where the smaller allocation has been checked against the planned connected load.
WS-C3650-48FD-E includes IP Services, while WS-C3650-48FD-S includes IP Base; both models are discontinued. IP Services adds full advanced routing beyond IP Base's routed-access capabilities. The E model suits configurations requiring those advanced protocols, whereas the S model suits existing deployments whose configuration remains within the IP Base feature set.
WS-C3650-48FD-E has two 10G uplinks, while C9300L-48PF-4X-A has four and is the current replacement. Both configurations retain 48 powered access ports. The discontinued 3650 suits a specifically required legacy hardware purchase; C9300L-48PF-4X-A suits a replacement order requiring the successor configuration and additional 10G uplink connections.
No, the 109.4W figure for this Catalyst 3650 configuration represents 100% traffic without PoE loading, not total consumption with powered endpoints. The test uses 115V AC input with Energy Efficient Ethernet enabled. Size the electrical installation using the intended endpoint load rather than interpreting that figure as a fully loaded maximum.
