WS-C3650-48FS-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The Rack-Mount 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series and ships with the IP Services feature set for routed access. Workstations, IP phones and wireless access points can share the access infrastructure while VLANs separate traffic and interface policies control admission. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PS-E provides a smaller 390W shared endpoint-power allocation for lower aggregate powered loads. Port security, DHCP snooping and dynamic ARP inspection provide controls against unauthorized attachment and address spoofing. A universal software image supports feature activation across the available license levels without requiring a separate operating image for each tier.
WS-C3650-48FS-E price for new stock is $2,619.75. WS-C3650-48FS-E refurb price is $162.75. WS-C3650-48FS-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity defines the aggregate switching envelope for traffic-sizing checks. 77.37 Mpps forwarding rate provides the packet-processing limit for planned traffic profiles. 775W of shared PoE power must be allocated across connected endpoints. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support advanced IPv4 unicast routing, while OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 provide hardware-supported IPv6 routing. Multicast routing includes PIM-SM, PIM-DM and SSM; PBR and VRF-Lite support traffic steering and separate routing contexts. WS-C3650-48FS-E carries 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash for runtime operation and image storage. Address learning supports 32000 MAC entries, and the 24000-entry IPv4 routing scale includes ARP entries alongside learned routes. The UADP ASIC supports hardware QoS and Flexible NetFlow visibility. LACP combines compatible Ethernet links, while RSTP and MSTP provide spanning-tree convergence. Eight egress queues per wired port support differentiated traffic scheduling.

When a wiring-closet refresh moves inter-VLAN gateways into the access switch, 1000 supported switched virtual interfaces provide a concrete segmentation boundary. Record the gateway inventory, upstream neighbors and required routing behavior before selecting the configuration. Confirm the intended interface allocation and software entitlement before issuing the purchase order.
When standardized switch orders span North American and UK sites, regional electrical accessories remain site-specific: CAB-TA-NA= serves North America and CAB-TA-UK= serves the United Kingdom. Keep the hardware requirement consistent while separating regional accessory requirements by destination. Confirm the appropriate regional PID on each site's purchase order.
When a lab purchase must reproduce production traffic settings, 9198-byte jumbo-frame support gives the staging plan a specific frame-size boundary. Include endpoint behavior, adjacent-link settings and the intended traffic mix in acceptance testing rather than checking connectivity alone. Specify the required test configuration and accessory inventory before placing the order.
10G uplinks to distribution
WS-C3650-48FS-E has fixed 1G SFP uplinks without a 10G uplink option. C9300L-48PF-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks with 48 powered access ports for higher-speed distribution connections.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
WS-C3650-48FS-E reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026; Cisco service is unavailable afterward. C9300L-48PF-4G-A is the current replacement for longer-term product standardization.
Fanless installation in occupied spaces
WS-C3650-48FS-E uses three FAN-T1 fan modules rather than passive cooling. Installations requiring fanless operation in occupied rooms cannot use this chassis.

WS-C3650-48FS-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 configuration: WS-C3650 is the family designation, 48 is the access-port count, F identifies the full-PoE configuration, S identifies four 1G uplinks, and E identifies IP Services. The complete configuration includes Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports and PWR-C2-1025WAC as its default supply.
WS-C3650-48FS-E supports CLI management through the console, SSH or Telnet, SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure management. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the appropriate cryptographic software image. Select the intended administration method and authentication configuration before introducing the unit into an existing management environment.
WS-C3650-48FS-E reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of support is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. Cisco service is unavailable after the final support date; C9300L-48PF-4G-A is the current replacement for migration planning.
WS-C3650-48FS-E is offered new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year ORM warranty. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage has original-owner eligibility, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-48FS-E includes the perpetual IP Services base license; Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier are separate term-based paths with a three-year minimum. Base-license entitlement and subscription entitlement are distinct. Confirm activation, entitlement ownership and any fabric software requirement separately rather than treating a subscription as included with the hardware PID.
WS-C3650-48FS-E provides a shared 775W PoE budget with its default PWR-C2-1025WAC supply and supports 30W per powered port. The shared budget does not permit every port to draw its maximum simultaneously. Two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies are required to support maximum PoE+ loading across all 48 ports.
Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stacks nine members with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Stacking requires C3650-STACK-KIT= and suitable STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= connections. Members must use matching feature sets, so an IP Services unit cannot join a mixed stack containing LAN Base or IP Base members.
Yes, WS-C3650-48FS-E supports Layer 3 routing with IP Services, including full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4, plus OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 for IPv6. PIM-SM, PIM-DM and SSM support multicast routing. The 24000-entry IPv4 scale includes ARP entries, so it is not a learned-route-only limit.
WS-C3650-48FS-E includes four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ uplinks or a removable uplink-card bay. Changing transceivers does not increase the chassis uplink speed. Specify the required link medium, reach and remote-interface compatibility when preparing the accessory requirement for the purchase order.
No, WS-C3650-48FS-E ships with one PWR-C2-1025WAC supply; the second internal supply is optional. PWR-C2-1025WAC= is the corresponding spare supply PID. The supplied configuration uses 115-240V AC input, so identify the required second supply and site electrical requirements separately when preparing the order.
WS-C3650-48FS-E provides a 775W single-supply PoE budget, compared with 390W for WS-C3650-48PS-E. Both models are discontinued. WS-C3650-48FS-E suits legacy requirements with higher aggregate endpoint-power demand; WS-C3650-48PS-E suits lower powered loads where the smaller shared allocation matches the endpoint inventory and expected simultaneous draw.
WS-C3650-48FS-E includes IP Services, while WS-C3650-48FS-S includes IP Base. IP Services adds full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 capability beyond the entry-level routed-access feature set. Both are discontinued; the E configuration suits advanced routing requirements, while the S configuration suits legacy deployments needing basic routed access.
WS-C3650-48FS-E is discontinued, while C9300L-48PF-4G-A is its current Catalyst 9300L replacement. Retaining the older model suits a specific legacy equipment or sparing requirement; selecting the replacement suits new product standardization. Evaluate migration requirements separately rather than assuming the newer family is interchangeable with an existing Catalyst 3650 assembly.
WS-C3650-48FS-E consumes 109.4W under the full-traffic test condition with no PoE loading; that figure is not total consumption while powering endpoints. The corresponding zero-traffic figure is 90.8W. Include endpoint demand separately in electrical planning, and do not substitute the PWR-C2-1025WAC output rating for measured switch consumption.
