WS-C3650-48PS-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and four fixed 1G SFP uplinks. The IP Services feature set provides advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing, while the 1U rack-mount chassis places copper endpoint connections and fiber distribution links in one access-layer unit. Within the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series, this configuration serves wired endpoints, IP phones and compatible wireless access points without requiring a removable uplink card. The discontinued WS-C3650-48FS-E carries a larger 775W standard PoE allocation for installations with greater aggregate endpoint demand. Selecting this configuration means retaining Gigabit access connections and fixed Gigabit fiber uplinks rather than specifying a higher-speed uplink variant.
WS-C3650-48PS-E price for new stock is $1,260.00, a 95.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $28,238.00. WS-C3650-48PS-E refurb price is $453.60. WS-C3650-48PS-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity supports traffic movement across the access and uplink interfaces. 77.37 Mpps forwarding rate provides a separate packet-processing limit for traffic planning. 390W of shared PoE power requires endpoint allocations to remain within the installed supply budget; individual PoE+ ports support 30W, but that does not mean every port can draw its maximum simultaneously. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 provide dynamic IPv4 routing, while OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 support IPv6 routing. PIM-SM and PIM-DM support multicast distribution under IP Services. WS-C3650-48PS-E carries 4 GB DRAM and 2 GB flash for software operation and storage. The Catalyst 3650 accommodates 32000 MAC addresses and a total IPv4 scale of 24000 ARP and learned-route entries for address and routing planning. Three modular fans provide active cooling, and cold starts require an ambient temperature of at least 0°C. Cisco UPOE is not available on this Gigabit model.
WS-C3650-48PS-E is available new sealed or certified refurbished, with refurbished units inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed port links and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. ORM Systems provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty cannot extend past October 31, 2026. Specify condition, license entitlement and accessories on the PO. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and volume orders can include RMA with advance replacement across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a five-building corporate campus, the WS-C3650-48PS-E Catalyst 3650 switch powers 48 PoE+ access points with a 740 W budget and provides four 1 GbE uplinks for resilient backhaul. The IP Services license enables advanced QoS and security policies, delivering 99.99% wireless uptime and 30% higher throughput. Centralized management via Cisco DNA reduces operational costs by 25%.
At a global headquarters deploying 300 IP phones and 25 video conferencing systems per floor, the WS-C3650-48PS-E ensures uninterrupted PoE support and IP Base QoS for voice/video traffic. It achieves <50 ms jitter, zero packet loss SLAs, and simplifies provisioning with a single-pane management interface. Deployment time is reduced by 40%, boosting productivity and lowering total cost of ownership.
In a 20-floor smart building, the WS-C3650-48PS-E delivers PoE to over 200 IoT sensors and security cameras while enforcing 802.1X, dynamic ARP inspection, and ACL policies. This integrated approach provides real-time threat detection and network segmentation, reducing security incidents by 45%. The consolidated network architecture cuts cabling and rack space requirements by 60%.
A refresh from discontinued WS-C3560V2-48PS-E or WS-C3750V2-48PS-E can follow the replacement relationship to this model. Both older parts ended sale on May 14, 2016. Reconcile the existing endpoint inventory, installed configuration and required connections with the replacement order, then verify the migration bill of materials before issuing the PO.
Adding a member to an existing IP Services stack requires checking software compatibility before selecting hardware. LAN Base cannot mix with IP Base or IP Services. Stacking hardware uses C3650-STACK-KIT= with STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cables; specify the adapter and cable length for each planned connection on the PO.
A branch rollout using the integrated mobility controller requires access point licenses; operating as a mobility agent does not. L-LIC-CT3650-UPG is the primary electronic upgrade license, and L-LIC-CTIOS-1A adds one access point. Decide which controller role will be used and count the required access point entitlements before finalizing the software lines on the PO.
10G fiber uplinks to distribution
WS-C3650-48PS-E has fixed 1G SFP uplinks and cannot provide 10G uplinks. C9300L-48P-4X-A provides four 10G uplinks with Network Advantage for a refresh requiring faster distribution connections.
60W power for individual endpoints
WS-C3650-48PS-E supports 30W per PoE+ port, not 60W Cisco UPOE. Increasing the power-supply budget does not change the individual port power class.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
WS-C3650-48PS-E reaches Cisco's last date of support on October 31, 2026. C9300L-48P-4G-A is the replacement for a refresh that must continue beyond that service cutoff.

WS-C3650-48PS-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 switch with 48 copper PoE+ access ports, four Gigabit uplinks and IP Services. WS-C3650 identifies the family, 48 gives the access-port count, P denotes PoE+, S identifies the four 1G uplinks, and E selects the IP Services feature set.
WS-C3650-48PS-E is managed through the CLI using console access, SSH or Telnet, through Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and through SNMPv1, SNMPv2c or SNMPv3. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the cryptographic software image. Specify the required administration method and software image when preparing the configuration and purchase order.
WS-C3650-48PS-E provides a shared 390W PoE budget with its default PWR-C2-640WAC, and individual PoE+ ports support 30W. The aggregate allocation is smaller than the demand from every port drawing its maximum simultaneously. Add the required endpoint allocations before deciding whether the standard power configuration meets the order.
No, WS-C3650-48PS-E has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks and no 10G SFP+ uplinks. The uplink configuration is part of the hardware model rather than a software license selection. Specify Gigabit uplink connections for this part number; changing the feature set cannot increase the physical uplink speed.
Nine Catalyst 3650 switches can form a StackWise-160 stack with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Stacking uses the optional C3650-STACK-KIT= module with STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cables. LAN Base cannot mix with IP Base or IP Services, so verify the installed feature sets and required stacking hardware before adding members.
WS-C3650-48PS-E supports full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 through IP Services, with OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 for IPv6 routing. Multicast routing includes PIM-SM, PIM-DM, PIM sparse-dense mode and SSM. The total IPv4 scale is 24000 entries, including ARP and learned routes, rather than a separate protocol-specific allowance.
No, WS-C3650-48PS-E ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC and an empty second power-supply bay. Add a second PWR-C2-640WAC for a dual-supply configuration. Supplying 30W PoE+ across all 48 ports instead requires two PWR-C2-1025WAC modules, so the default supply arrangement must not be treated as full-port maximum-power provisioning.
The Catalyst 3650 offers LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services feature sets using right-to-use software activation; WS-C3650-48PS-E includes IP Services. For 48-port IP Base upgrades, C3650-48-S-E provides the paper license and L-C3650-48-S-E the electronic license. Feature activation occurs through the CLI using the universal software image.
WS-C3650-48PS-E replaces WS-C3560V2-48PS-E and WS-C3750V2-48PS-E, both discontinued models whose end-of-sale date was May 14, 2016. Those predecessors provide 10/100 PoE access connections, whereas this model provides Gigabit PoE+ access. Verify the old configuration and endpoint requirements rather than treating the replacement relationship as configuration interchangeability.
WS-C3650-48PS-E ended Cisco sales on October 31, 2021, and reaches its last date of support on October 31, 2026. Routine software maintenance ended October 31, 2022, while vulnerability and security support ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48P-4G-A is the replacement part number for this configuration.
WS-C3650-48PS-E is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime hardware warranty is original-owner coverage, bounded by October 31, 2026 support termination.
WS-C3650-48FS-E carries a 775W standard PoE budget, compared with 390W on WS-C3650-48PS-E. Both models are discontinued. The larger allocation suits maintenance orders with greater combined powered-endpoint demand, while the smaller allocation suits endpoint inventories that remain within the lower shared budget without additional power provisioning.
WS-C3650-48PS-E includes IP Services, whereas WS-C3650-48PS-S includes IP Base; both models are discontinued. IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4, while IP Base provides routed-access OSPF and more limited routing features. The E model suits advanced-routing maintenance requirements; the S model suits installations retaining IP Base functionality.
C9300L-48P-4G-A replaces the discontinued WS-C3650-48PS-E, whose Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. The replacement retains the 48-port powered-access and four-1G-uplink configuration. The original model suits an existing-hardware maintenance order with that service cutoff accepted; C9300L-48P-4G-A suits a refresh purchasing the replacement generation rather than extending the discontinued installation.
99.5W is the WS-C3650-48PS-E consumption at 100% traffic under test conditions without PoE loading, not its fully loaded PoE input demand. The PWR-C2-640WAC rating describes supply output capacity rather than measured switch consumption. Size the electrical feed for switch operation and the actual powered-endpoint load instead of treating either figure as interchangeable.
