WS-C3650-48FS-L is a managed 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch with four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and the LAN Base feature set. Limited static routing places the included configuration in Layer 2+, while the full-width chassis occupies one rack unit. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series connects wired endpoints, IP phones, and compatible wireless access points in enterprise access networks. Copper access connections and fiber uplinks remain separate, and the fixed uplink architecture has no removable network-module bay or 10G uplink capability. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PS-L provides a smaller 390W endpoint-power allocation, distinguishing it from this full-PoE hardware configuration.
WS-C3650-48FS-L price for new stock is $1,989.75. WS-C3650-48FS-L refurb price is $193.52. WS-C3650-48FS-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity provides the switching fabric for the access and uplink interfaces, while 77.37 Mpps forwarding rate describes packet-forwarding throughput. 775W of shared PoE power must accommodate the connected endpoint load rather than an assumption that every port can simultaneously deliver its maximum. WS-C3650-48FS-L uses the UADP ASIC with 4 GB DRAM for running processes and 2 GB flash for local software storage. The address table accommodates 32000 MAC entries; the hardware total of 24000 IPv4 entries includes ARP plus learned routes and does not expand the included license's routing permissions. RSTP and MSTP support spanning-tree operation, while LACP supports link aggregation. DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP inspection provide additional access-network controls. Three FAN-T1 fans provide active cooling. CLI administration, SNMP monitoring, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure integration support configuration and operational management without implying that advanced routing or wireless-controller functions are enabled under LAN Base.
WS-C3650-48FS-L is offered new sealed and certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with PoE output verified under load on every powered port, firmware verified, and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and required accessories on the purchase order for this switch. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new orders and up to 1 year on certified refurbished orders, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. POs are accepted, government buyers have Net-30 terms, and enterprise volume purchases can include RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a 500-user corporate campus, the Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-48FS-L delivers full IEEE 802.3at PoE+ across 48 ports to power VoIP phones and 802.11ac access points, while its 4×1G uplinks and LAN Base feature set provide seamless backhaul and centralized management. Outcome: crystal-clear voice calls, high-speed Wi-Fi coverage, reduced cabling complexity and streamlined IT operations.
At a remote branch, the WS-C3650-48FS-L aggregates multiple VLANs over four 1 Gbps uplinks and enforces dynamic QoS policies using the LAN Base image to prioritize ERP, VoIP and video traffic. Outcome: guaranteed bandwidth for mission-critical applications, automatic uplink failover and simple WAN integration for uninterrupted business continuity.
In a multi-floor smart building, the Cisco Catalyst WS-C3650-48FS-L powers IP cameras, access control sensors and environmental IoT devices with its full PoE budget while isolating traffic through advanced VLAN segmentation and ACLs. Outcome: scalable and secure PoE backbone, optimized energy efficiency and centralized monitoring for proactive facilities management.
Adding a member to an existing LAN Base installation requires matching the software feature set across the stack. C3650-STACK-KIT= supplies the optional stacking hardware, with STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M=, and STACK-T2-3M= cable choices. Confirm the installed members' license levels and specify the required stacking hardware before the PO.
A staging lab that reproduces a LAN Base production environment needs the same feature boundaries rather than an assumed advanced routing image. LAN Base supports 255 VLANs, so a larger segmentation test requires a different software entitlement. Specify the intended feature set and VLAN requirements before ordering laboratory units.
Branch rollouts with unheated wiring closets need a startup-temperature check, not just an operating-temperature check. The chassis requires at least 0°C for a cold start, and allowable running temperature changes with altitude. Confirm the closet's lowest restart temperature and site elevation before specifying units for each location.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed uplinks operate at 1G and cannot accept an uplink upgrade card. C9300L-48PF-4X-E provides four fixed 10G uplinks while retaining 48 powered access ports.
Dynamic routing under the included license
LAN Base supplies limited static routing rather than the dynamic-routing functions of higher tiers. An OSPF deployment requires IP Base or IP Services rather than the included entitlement.
Silent fanless equipment installation
Three FAN-T1 fans provide active cooling, so this chassis is not fanless. A requirement for equipment without cooling fans excludes this configuration.

WS-C3650-48FS-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 with 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports, four 1G uplinks, and LAN Base. WS-C3650 identifies the family; 48 identifies access-port count; F identifies full-PoE hardware; S identifies the four-1G uplink configuration; L identifies LAN Base. The supplied power module is PWR-C2-1025WAC.
WS-C3650-48FS-L supports CLI administration through console access and remote SSH or Telnet, SNMP monitoring, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure management. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the appropriate cryptographic software image. Specify the intended administration method and management integration separately from the LAN Base feature entitlement.
WS-C3650-48FS-L is discontinued, with an end-of-sale date of October 31, 2021, and a last date of support of October 31, 2026. New service attachment ended October 31, 2022. C9300L-48PF-4G-E is the replacement, so a reseller purchase does not extend the original chassis's Cisco support timeline.
ORM offers WS-C3650-48FS-L new sealed or certified refurbished. New orders carry up to a 3-year extended warranty; certified refurbished orders carry up to 1 year. Both have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is subject to original-owner eligibility and ends no later than October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-48FS-L includes perpetual LAN Base and does not require a Cisco DNA subscription for its base features. Optional Cisco DNA Essentials works with LAN Base; Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier require IP Base or IP Services. Subscription paths have a three-year minimum term; separate RTU upgrades change the base tier.
WS-C3650-48FS-L provides a shared 775W PoE budget with its included PWR-C2-1025WAC supply, and individual PoE+ ports support 30W. Simultaneous 30W operation across all 48 ports requires two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies. Specify PWR-C2-1025WAC= separately when the endpoint loading requires that second supply.
The Catalyst 3650 four-1G uplink configuration provides four Gigabit SFP interfaces, not 10G SFP+ interfaces. The uplinks are fixed, so changing an optic or adding a removable network card does not create 10G capability. Specify compatible 1G connectivity and verify the required fiber interface before ordering.
WS-C3650-48FS-L supports nine-member StackWise-160 stacks with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth and optional C3650-STACK-KIT= hardware. Cable choices include STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M=, and STACK-T2-3M=. LAN Base members must use matching feature levels; a mixed LAN Base and IP Base or IP Services stack is not supported.
WS-C3650-48FS-L provides limited static routing under its included LAN Base entitlement, not the dynamic-routing features of higher software tiers. IP Base adds entry-level routing and routed-access OSPF; IP Services adds advanced routing. The hardware's 24000-entry IPv4 total does not itself grant those higher-tier protocol permissions.
The Catalyst 3650 full-PoE model includes one PWR-C2-1025WAC supply, with an optional second internal supply rather than two supplies shipped as standard. Order PWR-C2-1025WAC= when a second matching supply is required. Confirm the supply quantity on the purchase order rather than treating redundant-power capability as included hardware.
WS-C3650-48FS-L allocates 775W to PoE endpoints, while WS-C3650-48PS-L allocates 390W. Both are discontinued LAN Base models with the same access-port count and four-1G uplink arrangement. The full-PoE model suits a larger combined endpoint load; the lower-budget sibling suits an existing design sized within its smaller allocation.
WS-C3650-48FS-L includes LAN Base, while WS-C3650-48FS-S includes IP Base. Both discontinued variants use the full-PoE hardware configuration, but IP Base adds entry-level Layer 3 functions and routed-access OSPF. LAN Base suits feature-matched access-layer replacement; IP Base suits an existing installation requiring those additional routing functions.
C9300L-48PF-4G-E is the replacement for discontinued WS-C3650-48FS-L, whose Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. The lifecycle distinction matters independently of their 48-port full-PoE and four-1G uplink configurations. Existing Catalyst 3650 sparing can justify the older chassis; replacement procurement should specify the successor rather than assume continued support for the original.
The Catalyst 3650 full-PoE four-1G model consumes 109.4W at 100% traffic without PoE loading, compared with 90.8W at zero traffic under the same test conditions. These figures exclude endpoint power. They are not a fully loaded installation maximum, so power planning must separately account for connected PoE devices.
WS-C3650-48FS-L occupies one rack unit and measures 44 mm high, 445 mm wide, and 486 mm deep, with a shipped weight of 7.8 kg. This is a full-width rack chassis rather than a desktop switch. Check cabinet depth and equipment support against those dimensions before specifying the installation.
