WS-C3650-48FD-L is a managed, Layer 2+ access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The full-width 1U chassis belongs to the Catalyst 3650 Series and connects enterprise campus endpoints such as IP phones, access points and other powered Ethernet devices. LAN Base is the installed feature set, keeping this order distinct from higher-tier routing configurations. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PD-L is the closest lower-power-budget sibling, with a 390W PoE allowance. Integrated wireless-controller operation is not included in LAN Base; powering an access point does not add that entitlement. The built-in uplink architecture also means that changing uplink density requires a different switch configuration, rather than exchanging a removable network module.
WS-C3650-48FD-L price for new stock is $1,543.50, a 91% saving from the Cisco list price of $17,230.00. WS-C3650-48FD-L refurb price is $273.00. WS-C3650-48FD-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 104.16 Mpps forwarding rate define the forwarding resources available for access traffic. 775W of shared PoE power supplies connected endpoints without implying that every port can draw its individual maximum concurrently. Limited static routing is available under LAN Base; OSPF, EIGRP and BGP are not included in the installed entitlement. WS-C3650-48FD-L carries 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash, separating working memory from nonvolatile storage. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 forwarding design uses the UADP ASIC, while LACP, RSTP and MSTP support link aggregation and loop control. A 32000-entry MAC table accommodates learned endpoint addresses. Management uses the CLI through console access, SSH or Telnet. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 support monitoring, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides centralized administration. 109.4W consumption at full test traffic excludes PoE loading, so electrical planning must account separately for powered endpoints. Three FAN-T1 fans provide active chassis cooling. The 24000-entry IPv4 hardware total includes ARP plus learned routes, not an entitlement to additional routing protocols.
Specify WS-C3650-48FD-L quantities and new sealed or certified refurbished condition on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including PoE output verification under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, firmware verification and configuration wiping to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished units up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty ends October 31, 2026. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and enterprise volume orders can use UK, EU, US and MEA stock and RMA with advance replacement.

Deploy the WS-C3650-48FD-L Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port Full PoE switch to power 40+ 802.11ac Wave 2 access points across a university or enterprise campus. With 2x10G uplink aggregation to the distribution layer and LAN Base feature set, network teams achieve seamless roaming, bandwidth prioritization, and zero-touch provisioning. Benefit: Simplified infrastructure, reliable high-throughput wireless coverage, and centralized PoE management.
Implement the Catalyst 3650 48 Port Full PoE switch in a corporate headquarters to power and connect 48 Cisco IP phones and HD video conferencing endpoints. Leverage the 2x10G uplink to core for dedicated media traffic and enforce QoS policies, segmentation and MACsec encryption at line rate. Benefit: Guaranteed low-latency voice/video, robust security, and streamlined branch-to-core connectivity.
Use the WS-C3650-48FD-L in a smart building deployment to supply full PoE to 48 IP cameras, environmental sensors, and digital signage. The dual 10G uplinks deliver aggregated telemetry and video streams to a central analysis platform, while LAN Base VLAN segmentation and access control secure device zones. Benefit: High-density powering, scalable uplink bandwidth, and hardened IoT traffic isolation.
When replacing discontinued WS-C3560X-48PF-L or WS-C3560X-48U-L hardware, WS-C3650-48FD-L follows both migration paths. Both predecessors reached end-of-sale on October 30, 2016. Treat the transition as a revised bill of materials rather than an interchangeable chassis; verify endpoint power requirements, uplink media and retained accessories before issuing the purchase order.
When staging a Catalyst 3650 for a high-altitude installation, ambient limits change with elevation. At 3000 m, the AC-powered chassis operates from -5°C to 40°C, and cold start requires at least 0°C. Include the site's starting temperature and altitude in acceptance checks before the purchase order is approved.
When standardizing Catalyst 3650 configurations across sites, VLAN demand must fit the installed software entitlement rather than the hardware's broader address space. LAN Base supports 255 VLANs, while IP Base supports 4094. Specify the required active VLAN count and entitlement consistently in the rollout bill of materials before ordering.
Four simultaneous 10G uplink connections
WS-C3650-48FD-L supports only two simultaneous 10G uplinks. C9300L-48PF-4X-E provides four fixed 10G uplinks while retaining 48 Gigabit access ports and full PoE+.
OSPF routing without software upgrades
WS-C3650-48FD-L includes LAN Base with limited static routing. OSPF is excluded from that entitlement; routed-access OSPF requires IP Base, while full OSPF requires IP Services.
60W power for individual endpoints
WS-C3650-48FD-L delivers at most 30W per powered port and does not support Cisco UPOE. A larger aggregate power allowance does not change that per-port ceiling.

WS-C3650-48FD-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 with 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, two 10G uplinks and LAN Base. WS-C3650 denotes the switch family, 48 is the access-port count, F identifies the full-PoE configuration, D identifies the 2x10G uplink variant, and L identifies LAN Base; the default supply is PWR-C2-1025WAC.
WS-C3650-48FD-L is managed through the CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, with Cisco Prime Infrastructure and SNMPv1, SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 for administration and monitoring. SSH and SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image. A StackWise-160 stack uses a single IP address and CLI for management.
WS-C3650-48FD-L is discontinued: Cisco ended sales on October 31, 2021, and the last date of support is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is the replacement. An existing service entitlement does not extend Cisco support beyond the last date of support.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48FD-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is separate, applies to the original owner and ends with Cisco support on October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-48FD-L ships with LAN Base; RTU activation provides upgrades to IP Base or IP Services. Electronic upgrade PIDs are L-C3650-48-L-S and L-C3650-48-L-E, respectively. IP Base adds routed access and wireless-controller functions, while IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and multicast routing.
WS-C3650-48FD-L replaces the discontinued WS-C3560X-48PF-L and WS-C3560X-48U-L. Both predecessor PIDs reached end-of-sale on October 30, 2016. The 3650 model is also discontinued, so this is a legacy replacement path rather than a current-generation refresh. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is the successor for a new migration.
WS-C3650-48FD-L provides a shared 775W PoE budget with one PWR-C2-1025WAC, and each powered port supports up to 30W. That allowance cannot supply 30W on all 48 ports simultaneously. Two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies are required for 48-port PoE+ operation at 30W per port; size endpoint allocations against the installed power configuration.
WS-C3650-48FD-L has two 10G SFP+ uplinks and two 1G SFP uplinks built into the chassis. The SFP+ interfaces also support Gigabit Ethernet, allowing four 1G uplink connections instead. Uplink expansion does not use a removable network module. Match the optic and fiber connection to the remote interface before ordering.
Catalyst 3650 stacks support nine members using StackWise-160, with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Optional stacking hardware uses C3650-STACK-KIT= with STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cables. LAN Base members must stack with LAN Base members rather than IP Base or IP Services switches. Include adapter availability, cable length and matching entitlements in the order.
WS-C3650-48FD-L supports limited static routing under LAN Base, not OSPF, EIGRP or BGP. Its hardware total is 24000 IPv4 entries, counting ARP plus learned routes; that figure does not enable protocols excluded by LAN Base. IP Base adds routed-access OSPF, while IP Services provides full advanced routing.
WS-C3650-48FD-L ships with one PWR-C2-1025WAC and supports a second internal supply. Power redundancy is optional rather than included in the base configuration. Add PWR-C2-1025WAC= when specifying another matching module, and distinguish a redundant-power requirement from the extra PoE capacity obtained when both modules contribute power.
Yes, WS-C3650-48FD-L is a full-width 1U rack-mount switch measuring 44 mm high, 445 mm wide and 486 mm deep. Its weight is 7.8 kg with the default PWR-C2-1025WAC. RACK-KIT-T1= is the rack mount kit option; check rack depth, support arrangements and hardware inclusion before finalizing the installation order.
WS-C3650-48FD-L supplies a 775W PoE budget, while WS-C3650-48PD-L supplies 390W. Both offer 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and two 10G uplinks with LAN Base. Both are discontinued. Choose the FD model when endpoint demand requires the larger allocation; the PD model serves lower aggregate PoE loads.
WS-C3650-48FD-L includes LAN Base, whereas WS-C3650-48FD-S includes IP Base. IP Base adds routed-access OSPF and wireless-controller functionality that LAN Base does not include. Both are discontinued. The LAN Base version suits switching with limited static routing; the IP Base version addresses existing deployments requiring its added software functions.
C9300L-48PF-4X-E provides four fixed 10G uplinks, while WS-C3650-48FD-L provides two 10G uplinks plus two 1G uplinks. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is the migration replacement for the discontinued 3650 model. The successor fits orders requiring four 10G connections; the 3650 fits replacement orders tied to existing two-10G-uplink layouts.
