WS-C3650-48PS-L is a managed Layer 2+ access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ downlinks, four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, and the LAN Base software feature set. Its Rack-Mount 1U chassis belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series and connects wired clients while supplying power to compatible IP phones and wireless access points. The fixed uplink architecture makes uplink speed a hardware selection rather than a removable network-module choice. The discontinued WS-C3650-48TS-L provides the corresponding non-PoE configuration. This 48-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch combines endpoint connectivity and power delivery, while its LAN Base entitlement remains distinct from the family's higher routing licenses.
WS-C3650-48PS-L price for new stock is $2,887.50. WS-C3650-48PS-L refurb price is $213.15. WS-C3650-48PS-L is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity defines the forwarding fabric available to this non-multigigabit 48-port model. 77.37 Mpps forwarding rate provides a separate packet-processing measure for traffic sizing. Limited static routing is included with LAN Base; routed-access OSPF requires IP Base, while full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 require IP Services. WS-C3650-48PS-L combines 4 GB DRAM and 2 GB flash for Cisco IOS XE operation and local software storage. Its UADP ASIC provides hardware forwarding, and the 32000-entry MAC table accommodates learned Ethernet addresses. RSTP and MSTP support spanning-tree operation, while LACP supports negotiated link aggregation. Management includes CLI access and Cisco Prime Infrastructure, with SSH requiring the cryptographic software image. 99.5W consumption at full traffic excludes PoE loading, so electrical planning must account separately for powered endpoints rather than treating that measurement as total loaded demand.
WS-C3650-48PS-L is available new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed linking on every port, clean boot, and PoE output under load on every powered port; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, power supplies, and accessories on the PO; Cisco's original-owner Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty cannot extend beyond October 31, 2026. For enterprise and volume orders, POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement.

In a 500-user corporate headquarters, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port PoE (WS-C3650-48PS-L) delivers up to 740W of PoE to power 48 IP phones while providing four 1 Gbps uplinks to the core. This streamlined layer-2 access design reduces cabling complexity, ensures IEEE 802.3at compliance for voice QoS, and accelerates deployment by up to 30%. The outcome is crystal-clear voice communications, centralized power management, and a 25% reduction in operational expenses compared to legacy switches.
A large university campus deploys the WS-C3650-48PS-L in lecture halls and dormitory corridors to power 48 Cisco Aironet access points via PoE and aggregate traffic over four 1 Gbps uplinks. With Cisco StackWise-480 technology and LAN Base feature set, IT teams achieve 99.999% uptime, seamless roaming for 5,000 daily users, and granular traffic segmentation. The result: superior Wi-Fi performance, simplified network scaling, and a 40% faster provisioning process for new wireless zones.
A nationwide retail chain leverages the Catalyst 3650 48 Port PoE switch to power 48 HD cameras in each store, routing video streams over four redundant Gigabit uplinks to the central monitoring station. Integrated Cisco TrustSec security and LAN Base switching optimize bandwidth allocation, enabling real-time analytics and secure video transport. Retailers see a 50% faster incident response, centralized camera management, and a 20% reduction in hardware footprint compared to mixed-vendor solutions.
When an existing access configuration is being reproduced for a replacement or staging unit, the LAN Base limit of 255 VLANs is a purchase constraint. A configuration exceeding that limit needs a different software entitlement. Count the VLANs in the intended configuration and specify the required license before issuing the PO.
When adding a member to an existing Catalyst 3650 LAN Base stack, mixed stacking with IP Base or IP Services members is not supported. Stacking also requires the adapter hardware associated with C3650-STACK-KIT=. Confirm matching feature sets, installed adapters, and the required STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M=, or STACK-T2-3M= cable before ordering.
When branch equipment may start after an unheated shutdown, the minimum cold-start ambient temperature is 0°C, even though normal operation permits a lower temperature. Startup conditions therefore need a separate check from the operating-temperature range. Verify the expected room temperature at power-on before specifying hardware for the branch rollout.
10G uplinks to distribution
The fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G and cannot be upgraded through a network module. C9300L-48P-4X-E provides four 10G uplinks with 48 PoE access ports.
OSPF routing under the supplied license
LAN Base supports limited static routing, not OSPF. Routed-access OSPF requires IP Base; full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 require IP Services.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Applicable Cisco support ends October 31, 2026, regardless of the original hardware warranty headline. C9300L-48P-4G-E is the replacement for purchases requiring a successor rather than a discontinued model.

Consistent performance.
WS-C3650-48PS-L identifies the Catalyst 3650 configuration: WS-C3650 is the family prefix, 48 indicates the access-port count, P denotes PoE+, S identifies four 1G uplinks, and L selects LAN Base. The configuration includes a PWR-C2-640WAC power supply and a 1U rack-mount chassis.
The Catalyst 3650 supports Cisco IOS XE CLI management through console access, SSH, or Telnet, plus Cisco Prime Infrastructure and SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 network management. SSH and cryptographic SNMPv3 require the cryptographic software image. The dedicated Ethernet management interface is separate from the access ports.
WS-C3650-48PS-L is discontinued: Cisco end of sale was October 31, 2021, and the last date of applicable support is October 31, 2026. Security support also ends October 31, 2026. C9300L-48P-4G-E is the replacement, while remaining Cisco support depends on an eligible existing entitlement.
WS-C3650-48PS-L uses perpetual LAN Base licensing, with RTU upgrades to IP Base or IP Services. Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier were optional subscription paths with minimum three-year terms and a higher base-license requirement. LAN Base hardware ownership does not by itself provide those subscription entitlements.
WS-C3650-48PS-L provides a shared 390W PoE budget with its supplied PWR-C2-640WAC and supports up to 30W per powered port. That budget cannot supply 30W simultaneously to all 48 ports. Two PWR-C2-1025WAC supplies are required for the all-port maximum PoE+ configuration.
No, WS-C3650-48PS-L has four fixed 1G SFP uplinks, not 10G SFP+ uplinks. The uplink connections are built into the chassis, and there is no removable uplink-module upgrade path. Its Gigabit SFP connections use compatible transceivers selected for the required media, fiber type, and link distance.
A Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stack supports nine members with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. C3650-STACK-KIT= provides the stacking adapter hardware, with STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M=, and STACK-T2-3M= cable options. LAN Base members cannot form a mixed stack with IP Base or IP Services members.
No, WS-C3650-48PS-L ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC power supply; a second internal supply is optional rather than included. The chassis has two supply slots and accepts supported AC or DC configurations. Power redundancy therefore depends on the installed second supply and the power requirements of the connected endpoints.
WS-C3650-48PS-L supplies PoE+ on its 48 access ports, whereas WS-C3650-48TS-L provides non-PoE access ports. Both configurations have four fixed 1G uplinks and LAN Base. Both are discontinued; the PoE model addresses powered-endpoint replacement requirements, while the non-PoE model addresses existing installations whose endpoints have separate power.
WS-C3650-48PS-L includes LAN Base, whereas WS-C3650-48PS-S includes IP Base with routed-access OSPF and additional routing functionality. Their access-port and fixed-uplink configurations match. Both are discontinued; LAN Base addresses replacement requirements centered on switching and limited static routing, while IP Base addresses existing routed-access configurations.
WS-C3650-48PS-L is discontinued and reaches its last date of Cisco support on October 31, 2026, whereas C9300L-48P-4G-E is its replacement. The older model addresses like-for-like replacement purchases within an existing estate; the successor addresses buyers moving their purchase standard away from the discontinued Catalyst 3650.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48PS-L new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's Enhanced Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty is original-owner coverage bounded by October 31, 2026.
