WS-C3650-48PD-L provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ access ports, two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks and two fixed 1G SFP uplinks for a managed Layer 2+ enterprise access edge. The Catalyst 3650 Series chassis occupies 1U rack space and ships with LAN Base. This configuration connects wired IP phones, wireless access points and unpowered Gigabit endpoints rather than multigigabit clients. The discontinued WS-C3650-48TD-L differs by omitting PoE on its copper access ports. A single universal software image covers the available feature levels, with the purchased entitlement determining which features activate. Fiber connections use the built-in cages rather than an add-in uplink network module. Integrated wireless controller operation is not included with the base feature tier.
WS-C3650-48PD-L price for new stock is $1,365.00, a 90.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $14,889.00. WS-C3650-48PD-L refurb price is $228.90. WS-C3650-48PD-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 104.16 Mpps forwarding rate define traffic-handling capacity for the access and uplink interfaces. 390W of shared PoE output requires endpoint power allocation rather than assuming maximum draw on every powered port. Static routing is the included routed capability; dynamic routing requires a higher feature tier. The hardware supports 32000 MAC entries and a total of 24000 IPv4 ARP plus learned routes, which is not a LAN Base static-route entitlement. WS-C3650-48PD-L uses 4 GB DRAM and 2 GB flash for running software and local images. Cisco Catalyst 3650 uses the UADP ASIC for packet forwarding. 160 Gbps StackWise-160 connectivity supports a single switching system with active and standby members. LACP provides Ethernet link aggregation, while RSTP and MSTP provide loop control. The 101.5W full-traffic consumption figure excludes PoE loading, so endpoint power must be considered separately. Three FAN-T1 fans provide active chassis cooling.
Order WS-C3650-48PD-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to a 3-year extended term for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for every port linking at rated speed and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the PO; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. POs are accepted for enterprise and volume orders, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement; Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty and service end October 31, 2026.

Scenario: A university deploys next-gen Cisco Aironet access points across lecture halls and dormitories. The WS-C3650-48PD-L Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port PoE switch provides 48 PoE+ ports with a 740W power budget and dual 10G uplinks, ensuring seamless power and high-speed data aggregation. Benefit: Delivers simplified PoE management, consistent AP performance, and scalable 10G connectivity to the core, boosting wireless coverage and reliability campus-wide.
Scenario: A retail enterprise equips 20 stores with 48 high-definition PoE cameras per location for real-time monitoring. The WS-C3650-48PD-L 48 Port PoE switch powers all cameras directly, leverages LAN Base features like IGMP snooping for multicast video, and uses 2x10G uplinks for central NVR connectivity. Benefit: Reduces cabling complexity, guarantees zero packet loss during peak traffic, and enables reliable, centralized video storage and analytics.
Scenario: A multi-branch enterprise consolidates IP phones, video conferencing systems, Wi-Fi APs, and IoT sensors on a single switch. The WS-C3650-48PD-L Catalyst 3650 with LAN Base OS delivers 48 PoE+ ports, advanced QoS, network segmentation, and redundant 2x10G uplinks to the corporate WAN. Benefit: Streamlines network operations, enforces secure multi-service traffic prioritization, and delivers high-availability connectivity for voice, video, and IoT on one platform.
When replacing a discontinued WS-C3560X-48P-L, this model carries the migration role for the older LAN Base PoE configuration. The predecessor reached end of sale on October 30, 2016. Before the PO, verify interface requirements, licensed features and the intended sparing period rather than treating hardware migration as a software entitlement upgrade.
When combining previously separate access segments, LAN Base limits the purchase to 255 VLANs. The hardware family's 4094-VLAN ceiling is not the included license's entitlement. Inventory the segments that must coexist on the combined switch, then specify the accepted feature tier and required VLAN count before issuing the PO.
When purchasing a unit for compatibility testing before installation, the Catalyst 3650 supports 9198-byte jumbo frames. Validate packet sizes against connected equipment rather than assuming existing MTU settings transfer unchanged. Include the required connection media, test equipment interfaces and acceptance scope in the staging order before releasing the PO.
Four simultaneous 10G uplinks
The built-in uplinks provide two 10G connections, not four, and cannot be expanded with a network module. C9300L-48P-4X-E provides four 10G uplinks as the replacement.
Dynamic routing in the included license
LAN Base supports limited static routing, not OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 or IS-ISv4. Dynamic routing requires an appropriate higher feature tier rather than the included software entitlement.
Integrated wireless controller without license upgrades
LAN Base does not include mobility agent or mobility controller functionality. Those roles require IP Base, and mobility controller operation additionally requires access point licensing.

WS-C3650-48PD-L identifies a Catalyst 3650 switch: WS-C3650 is the switch family, 48 is the access-port count, P indicates PoE+, D identifies the two-10G uplink configuration, and L selects LAN Base. The complete configuration also includes two 1G SFP uplinks and the default PWR-C2-640WAC supply.
WS-C3650-48PD-L supports CLI management through console access or SSH/Telnet, SNMPv3 monitoring and Cisco Prime Infrastructure integration. SSH and encrypted SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image. Specify the intended management access method and software image before staging the unit for configuration and monitoring.
Yes, WS-C3650-48PD-L is discontinued: end of sale was October 31, 2021, and the last date of support is October 31, 2026. C9300L-48P-4X-E is the replacement. Eligible existing Cisco support cannot extend beyond that final date, and new service attachment ended October 31, 2022.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48PD-L new sealed and certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty ends with support on October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-48PD-L uses perpetual LAN Base with IP Base/IP Services RTU upgrade paths and optional Cisco DNA Essentials, Cisco DNA Advantage or Cisco DNA Premier subscriptions. Cisco DNA Essentials can accompany any base tier; SD-Access requires IP Base or IP Services. Subscription terms start at three years, separately from the perpetual switching entitlement.
WS-C3650-48PD-L replaces the discontinued WS-C3560X-48P-L, a 48-port PoE LAN Base model whose end of sale was October 30, 2016. The replacement retained the powered-access role and LAN Base tier, but is now discontinued itself. C9300L-48P-4X-E is the subsequent migration model rather than another Catalyst 3650 purchase.
WS-C3650-48PD-L provides 48 PoE+ capable ports and a shared 390W budget with PWR-C2-640WAC. Each port can provide 30W, but 48 × 30W = 1440W, so the included allocation does not cover maximum simultaneous draw. Two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies are required for full PoE+ across all access ports.
The Catalyst 3650 configuration in WS-C3650-48PD-L provides two 10G SFP+ and two 1G SFP fixed uplinks, or four 1G connections. SFP+ interfaces also support 1G operation. The chassis does not accept an add-in uplink network module, so a module purchase cannot expand the built-in uplink configuration.
The Catalyst 3650 Series stacks nine members using 160 Gbps StackWise-160 with optional C3650-STACK-KIT= hardware. Cable options are STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M=. LAN Base units stack only with other LAN Base Catalyst 3650 members; a mixed LAN Base/IP Base/IP Services stack is not supported.
No, WS-C3650-48PD-L provides limited static routing under LAN Base, not OSPF. IP Base adds routed-access OSPF, while IP Services provides full OSPF and additional advanced routing protocols. The hardware's 24000-entry IPv4 total includes ARP plus learned routes and does not establish the included license's static-route entitlement.
The Catalyst 3650 PoE configuration in WS-C3650-48PD-L ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC supply and an empty second internal power supply bay. Redundancy is optional and requires another supply. The 101.5W full-traffic consumption figure excludes PoE loading, so that measurement is not the total maximum while delivering endpoint power.
WS-C3650-48PD-L provides PoE+ on its copper access ports, while WS-C3650-48TD-L does not provide PoE. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3650 models with 48 Gigabit access ports and two 10G uplinks. The powered model serves compatible phones or access points; the non-PoE model serves endpoints with their own power source.
WS-C3650-48PD-L ships with LAN Base, whereas WS-C3650-48PD-S ships with IP Base; both models are discontinued. LAN Base provides limited static routing, while IP Base includes routed-access OSPF. Buyers preserving a LAN Base configuration would match the L variant; an existing routed-access configuration requires the appropriate IP Base entitlement.
C9300L-48P-4X-E provides four 10G uplinks, while WS-C3650-48PD-L has two 10G uplinks plus two 1G uplinks. C9300L-48P-4X-E replaces the discontinued Catalyst 3650 model. The older unit serves a matching legacy hardware order; the replacement serves a migration requiring the expanded 10G uplink configuration.
