WS-C3650-48FQ-L combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and the LAN Base software tier. This managed Layer 2+ switch belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series and occupies one rack unit, connecting wired clients, IP phones and wireless access points. The uplink interfaces accommodate 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP operation without a removable uplink card. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PQ-L provides a smaller PoE budget with the same access-port density and uplink arrangement. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch separates powered copper endpoint connections from fiber links toward distribution.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L price for new stock is $5,034.75. WS-C3650-48FQ-L refurb price is $411.60. WS-C3650-48FQ-L is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity handles aggregate switching traffic; 130.95 Mpps forwarding rate defines packet-processing throughput. Static routing supports 16 user-configured routes on switched virtual interfaces, rather than the dynamic-routing capabilities associated with higher software tiers. LAN Base supports 255 VLANs, and LAN Base stacks do not support Layer 3 features. WS-C3650-48FQ-L supports local console administration, remote CLI access through Telnet or SSH, browser-based Device Manager and Cisco Prime Infrastructure management. SSH requires a cryptographic software image. Device Manager provides standalone configuration and monitoring, while the console remains available for direct administration.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48FQ-L new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is bounded by the October 31, 2026 support deadline. Specify condition, accessories and enterprise or volume quantities on the PO; PO accepted, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA.

An existing access stack needing another member requires a hardware inventory before the purchase order. Specify C3650-STACK-KIT= when stacking adapters are required, and select STACK-T2-1M= for a 1 m stacking connection. Confirm which adapters and cables are included with the selected condition before ordering additional accessories.
A staging environment preparing LAN Base configurations needs its VLAN inventory checked before hardware is allocated. The included tier supports 255 VLANs, so a configuration copied from a higher-tier installation needs review rather than automatic reuse. Specify the intended software tier and confirm the staged configuration before releasing the purchase order.
Cisco service beyond October 2026
Cisco support for WS-C3650-48FQ-L ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is its replacement; an ORM warranty does not extend Cisco's service deadline.
Included OSPF or BGP routing
LAN Base provides limited static routing on VLAN interfaces, not the dynamic-routing feature set required for OSPF or BGP deployments.
Every port drawing 30W as shipped
The included PWR-C2-1025WAC provides a shared 775W PoE budget. Powering all 48 ports at 30W requires two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies rather than one.

WS-C3650-48FQ-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 switch: WS-C3650 names the switch family, 48 denotes the access-port count, F identifies the full-PoE configuration, Q denotes four 10G uplinks, and L selects LAN Base. The configuration has Gigabit Ethernet copper access ports, fixed SFP+ uplinks and an included PWR-C2-1025WAC power supply.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L is managed through the Cisco IOS CLI, browser-based Device Manager and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. CLI access uses the local console or remote Telnet and SSH connections, while SNMP supports network monitoring. SSH requires a cryptographic software image. Device Manager provides configuration and monitoring for individual standalone switches.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L is discontinued, with Cisco end of sale on October 31, 2021 and last date of support on October 31, 2026. C9300L-48PF-4X-E is the replacement. Hardware availability from a reseller does not restart Cisco's lifecycle or extend support beyond the published final date.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3650-48FQ-L new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty is separate, applies to original-owner hardware, and is bounded by the October 31, 2026 last date of support.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L has a permanent LAN Base license that does not expire, rather than requiring a subscription for base operation. Optional Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage subscriptions have a 3-year minimum term. DNA Advantage requires IP Base or IP Services. Subscription expiration and entitlement information are managed through a Smart Account.
Catalyst 3650 supports StackWise-160 with nine members and 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Stacking requires adapters such as C3650-STACK-KIT= and suitable cables: STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M=. Members need matching license levels and compatible software. Catalyst 3850 switches cannot be mixed into the same stack.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L supports limited static routing with LAN Base, including 16 user-configured static routes on switched virtual interfaces. The included tier does not provide the full dynamic-routing feature set. LAN Base stacks do not support Layer 3 features, so standalone routing requirements and stack requirements need separate review.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L provides a 775W PoE budget, while WS-C3650-48PQ-L provides 390W with its lower-output supply. Both have 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, four 10G uplinks and LAN Base, and both are discontinued. The FQ configuration suits larger shared endpoint-power allocations; the PQ configuration suits a smaller aggregate allocation.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L includes LAN Base, while WS-C3650-48FQ-S includes IP Base with additional routing features such as EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access. Both models are discontinued. The L configuration suits LAN Base requirements; the S configuration suits maintaining an existing installation that specifically requires the IP Base feature set.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L is discontinued and reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026; C9300L-48PF-4X-E is its replacement with Network Essentials rather than LAN Base. The older model suits maintaining an existing Catalyst 3650 installation, while the replacement suits a hardware refresh that moves away from the approaching support deadline.
WS-C3650-48FQ-L-RF is the Cisco remanufactured ordering variant corresponding to WS-C3650-48FQ-L. Cisco remanufacturing and ORM Systems certified refurbishment are separate conditions, not interchangeable labels. Specify the required condition explicitly on the purchase order rather than treating an ORM refurbished unit as a Cisco -RF product.
