WS-C3650-48PD-E is a Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks and fixed uplink cages comprising two 1G SFP ports and two 10G SFP+ ports. The Rack-Mount 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series and includes IP Services for advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing. Copper interfaces connect workstations, IP phones and compatible wireless access points, while the separate uplinks connect to upstream equipment. The discontinued WS-C3650-48TD-E is the corresponding non-PoE sibling. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch combines endpoint connectivity and power delivery without a removable uplink-card dependency; its uplink configuration is selected with the chassis rather than added through a network module.
WS-C3650-48PD-E price for new stock is $1,260.00, a 95.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $29,866.00. WS-C3650-48PD-E refurb price is $293.48. WS-C3650-48PD-E is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity defines the aggregate switching ceiling, while 104.16 Mpps forwarding rate describes packet-processing throughput. 390W of shared PoE power limits the default endpoint allocation rather than guaranteeing maximum output on every port. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 support routed access; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6, while PIM-SM and PIM-DM support multicast. WS-C3650-48PD-E carries 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash for software operation and image storage. Forwarding resources accommodate 32000 MAC addresses and 24000 IPv4 entries covering ARP plus learned routes. StackWise-160 stacks nine members with 160 Gbps of stack bandwidth. The Catalyst 3650 uses Cisco IOS XE and the UADP ASIC for hardware forwarding and QoS; LACP groups compatible links, while RSTP and MSTP control Layer 2 topology. Three modular FAN-T1 fans provide active cooling. 101.5W consumption at full traffic excludes PoE loading, so electrical sizing must account separately for powered endpoints. UPOE is absent from this Gigabit configuration.
Specify WS-C3650-48PD-E as new sealed or certified refurbished, and itemize the required configuration on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested; every port links at rated speed, PoE output is verified under load on every powered port, and firmware is verified before configuration is wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a three-year extended warranty for new units and up to one year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty remains subject to original-owner eligibility and ends with Cisco service on October 31, 2026. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA includes advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA across UK, EU, US and MEA; itemize quantities for enterprise and volume orders.

When a purchase is driven by endpoints that all need maximum PoE+ simultaneously, 48 x 30W requires 1440W of endpoint power. Full-port PoE+ requires two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies. Record endpoint maximum draw, then specify the complete supply configuration and power allocation before issuing the purchase order.
When the same hardware is purchased for sites using different outlet standards, specify the regional power connection separately from the chassis quantity. CAB-TA-NA= is the North American cord, CAB-TA-UK= serves UK orders, and CAB-TA-EU= serves European orders. Match each site's cord allocation before issuing the purchase order.
When equipment is staged in an unheated receiving area, the minimum ambient temperature for a cold start is 0°C. Equipment arriving below that temperature needs an appropriate staging environment before boot testing. Treat initial startup separately from continuous operation, and specify the staging temperature and acceptance-test sequence before the purchase order.
Four simultaneous 10G uplinks
WS-C3650-48PD-E provides two 10G SFP+ uplinks, not four. C9300L-48P-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks while retaining 48 PoE access ports for a hardware migration.
Endpoints drawing more than 30W
PoE+ ports on WS-C3650-48PD-E deliver at most 30W per port. Additional power supplies increase the shared budget, not this per-port ceiling; higher-draw endpoints require another power capability.
Cisco support after October 2026
WS-C3650-48PD-E reaches Cisco's last date of support on October 31, 2026. C9300L-48P-4X-A is the hardware migration option for purchases moving beyond the Catalyst 3650 support lifecycle.

WS-C3650-48PD-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 switch with 48 PoE+ access ports, two 10G uplinks and IP Services. WS-C3650 identifies the switch family, 48 gives the access-port count, P denotes PoE+, D identifies the two-10G uplink configuration, and E identifies IP Services. Two additional fixed 1G SFP uplinks complete the configuration.
WS-C3650-48PD-E is managed through the console CLI, remote CLI over SSH or Telnet, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and SNMPv1, SNMPv2c or SNMPv3. SSH and encrypted SNMPv3 require the appropriate cryptographic software image. Specify management addressing, administrator authentication and image eligibility before connecting the unit to the management network.
WS-C3650-48PD-E reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance releases ended October 31, 2022. Applicable support before the final milestone depends on existing entitlement; C9300L-48P-4X-A is the named hardware migration option.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48PD-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a three-year extended warranty for new units and up to one year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Warranty requires original-owner eligibility, and Cisco service ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-48PD-E includes permanent IP Services; DNA Essentials and DNA Advantage are separate add-ons with three-, five- or seven-year terms and a three-year minimum. A DNA subscription is not required for base switching and routing on an ORM order. Track term-license expiration through the associated Smart Account.
WS-C3650-48PD-E replaced WS-C3560X-48P-E as the migration option for a 48-port PoE switch with IP Services. WS-C3560X-48P-E reached end of sale on October 30, 2016. WS-C3650-48PD-E is also discontinued, so a hardware refresh now follows its subsequent migration to C9300L-48P-4X-A rather than stopping at the older replacement.
390W is the shared PoE budget for WS-C3650-48PD-E with its default PWR-C2-640WAC supply. Each powered port supports up to 30W, but 48 ports at that level require 1440W. Two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies support full-port PoE+; two PWR-C2-640WDC supplies provide a 780W budget when using DC power.
WS-C3650-48PD-E provides two fixed 1G SFP uplinks and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The SFP+ interfaces also support Gigabit Ethernet operation, allowing a four-1G configuration. No removable uplink card is needed or accepted; select compatible media for the required link speed and fiber connection.
Yes, Catalyst 3650 switches form nine-member StackWise-160 stacks when the optional stacking hardware is installed. Stack bandwidth is 160 Gbps. C3650-STACK-KIT= supplies stacking hardware, with STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M= cable options. Members must use matching LAN Base, IP Base or IP Services feature sets rather than mixing tiers.
Yes, WS-C3650-48PD-E supports full Layer 3 routing through IP Services, including OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4. IPv6 routing includes OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6, while PIM supports multicast routing. The hardware accommodates 24000 IPv4 entries covering ARP plus learned routes, rather than 24000 learned routes alone.
No, WS-C3650-48PD-E ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC supply; the second internal supply position is optional. A second compatible supply must be specified separately when the order requires redundancy or a different power allocation. Supported non-multigigabit supply options include PWR-C2-640WAC, PWR-C2-1025WAC and PWR-C2-640WDC configurations.
WS-C3650-48PD-E supplies PoE+ on its access ports, whereas WS-C3650-48TD-E has non-PoE data access ports. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3650 variants. The powered configuration suits replacement inventory for existing powered endpoints; the data-only configuration matches installations where endpoint power comes from another source rather than the access switch.
WS-C3650-48PD-E includes IP Services, whereas WS-C3650-48PD-S includes IP Base. IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4; IP Base provides routed-access OSPF rather than that full routing set. Both are discontinued. The E variant matches full-routing replacement requirements, while the S variant matches an existing IP Base estate.
C9300L-48P-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks, whereas WS-C3650-48PD-E provides two 10G uplinks. C9300L-48P-4X-A is the named migration model for the discontinued Catalyst 3650 part. Retaining existing 3650 hardware can determine a replacement-spares purchase; the migration model suits a hardware refresh requiring the additional 10G uplink connections.
WS-C3650-48PD-E-RF is the Cisco-remanufactured version of WS-C3650-48PD-E, not ORM's certified refurbished condition. The RF part retains the 48-port PoE, two-10G-uplink and IP Services product identity. Keep manufacturer-remanufactured inventory and reseller-certified refurbishment as separate condition descriptions, and identify the actual PID and condition on the purchase order.
