WS-C3650-48PWQ-S combines wired and wireless access in a managed Layer 3 switch with 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports and four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. IP Base supplies the included network feature set, while the standard 1U rack chassis serves enterprise access deployments connecting computers, IP phones, and wireless access points. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 integrates wired and wireless policy within one operating environment rather than treating them as separate switching functions. Fixed uplinks use compatible transceivers instead of a removable network card. The discontinued WS-C3650-48FWQ-S is the full-PoE sibling, offering a larger aggregate endpoint-power allowance. This wireless-license bundle retains the access-switch architecture of the underlying Cisco Catalyst 3650-48PQ-S hardware.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S price for new stock is $1,260.00, a 34.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,923.75. WS-C3650-48PWQ-S refurb price is $1,496.25. WS-C3650-48PWQ-S is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 130.95 Mpps forwarding provide the wired traffic-handling limits for interface and aggregation planning. 390W of shared PoE power requires endpoint loads to be allocated across the connected powered devices rather than assuming maximum output on every port simultaneously. OSPF for routed access, EIGRP Stub, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, and static routing support access-layer routing; full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 require IP Services. WS-C3650-48PWQ-S carries 4 GB of DRAM and 2 GB of flash for operating state and software storage. The 32000-entry MAC table and 24000-entry IPv4 route total establish separate address-learning and routing scale limits. Administrative access includes the CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure; encrypted access requires the appropriate cryptographic image. 107.4W consumption under the full-traffic test excludes PoE loading and must not be treated as total cabinet demand with powered endpoints attached.
Specify WS-C3650-48PWQ-S as new sealed or certified refurbished, with required accessories itemized on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, including PoE output under load on every powered port, firmware verification, and configuration wiping to factory default. ORM warranties cover new units for up to 3 years extended and certified refurbished units for up to 1 year; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Submit enterprise or volume requirements with the requested condition and accessory quantities; PO accepted, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement are available across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

WS-C3650-48PWQ-S-CATALYST 3650 48PORT POE 4X10G UPLINK W/5 AP LICS IPB drives a large corporate campus deployment across five interconnected buildings. With 48 PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W each and four 10 Gbps uplinks, it aggregates five access point licenses to scale to 100+ Wi-Fi APs under Cisco DNA Center. Benefit: centralized policy enforcement, seamless roaming, 50% higher wireless capacity and 30% lower operational overhead.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S-CATALYST 3650 48PORT POE 4X10G UPLINK W/5 AP LICS IPB powers up to 48 environmental sensors and digital signage panels while providing wired and wireless connectivity for building automation. Four 10 Gbps uplinks feed real-time data to the management platform, and five AP licenses extend control-plane reach. Outcome: 40% reduction in cabling costs, unified power/data infrastructure, and 25% energy savings through automated analytics.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S-CATALYST 3650 48PORT POE 4X10G UPLINK W/5 AP LICS IPB serves a remote branch with 200 users, delivering PoE+ power for 48 IP phones and security cameras plus four 10 Gbps uplinks to HQ. Integrated Cisco IOS XE enables advanced QoS and segmented security policies, while five AP licenses deliver seamless on-premises wireless roaming. Result: sub-50 ms voice latency, deployment in under two hours, and 20% lower total cost of ownership.
When a branch needs integrated wired and wireless control, the switch can operate as a mobility controller rather than only a mobility agent. Its 48-port hardware supports 40 Gbps of wireless capacity. Confirm the intended controller role, compatible software, and access-point entitlements before specifying the branch order.
When additional routed VLAN interfaces drive an access-switch purchase, the 1000-SVI limit provides a separate sizing checkpoint from physical port availability. Review the required interface configuration and routing feature entitlement together. Specify the intended software tier and validate the interface requirement before issuing the purchase order.
When a replacement must reproduce an existing traffic-analysis configuration, the 48000 Flexible NetFlow entries available on 48-port models provide a capacity checkpoint for staging. Prepare the intended monitoring configuration and collector settings before acceptance testing, then include the required software configuration in the staging instructions accompanying the order.
Access links faster than Gigabit
The fixed copper access ports stop at 1 Gbps. The faster fiber uplinks do not provide multigigabit copper connectivity for attached endpoints.
Advanced routing with the included license
IP Base does not enable BGPv4, full EIGRP, or IS-ISv4. Those features require IP Services rather than the software tier included with this bundle.
Manufacturer support beyond October 2026
Cisco service ends October 31, 2026, so this bundle cannot cover a later manufacturer-support requirement. No direct migration PID is assigned to this wireless-license bundle.

WS-C3650-48PWQ-S identifies a Catalyst 3650 bundle: WS-C3650 names the switch family, 48 identifies the access-port count, P denotes PoE, W identifies the five-access-point-license bundle, Q specifies four 10G uplinks, and -S means IP Base. The complete ordering name distinguishes the wireless-license bundle from the underlying switch hardware.
Catalyst 3650 is managed through the CLI over console, SSH or Telnet, SNMP, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. SSH requires a cryptographic software image. Match the management configuration to existing administration tools, and confirm the installed image before depending on encrypted remote access.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S includes IP Base and five LIC-CTIOS-1A access-point licenses, with feature upgrades activated through right-to-use CLI licensing. The Catalyst 3650 feature tiers are LAN Base, IP Base, and IP Services. Additional access-point licenses govern mobility controller operation, while mobility agent operation needs no additional access-point license.
No, WS-C3650-48PWQ-S shares 390W across its powered ports with the standard PWR-C2-640WAC, while individual PoE+ ports allow 30W. That allowance does not support maximum output everywhere simultaneously. Size endpoint draw collectively, and do not treat the 107.4W no-PoE traffic-test figure as total loaded cabinet demand.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S provides four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks; the same interfaces can operate at 1G with supported SFP optics. No removable uplink module is used. Select transceivers and fiber for the required speed, distance, and upstream equipment, and itemize them rather than requesting a modular uplink card.
Catalyst 3650 StackWise-160 stacks nine members with 160 Gbps of stack bandwidth and optional C3650-STACK-KIT= adapters. Cable choices include STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M=, and STACK-T2-3M=. Match the software feature sets across members, and specify the required adapters and cable lengths when ordering an extension.
Yes, WS-C3650-48PWQ-S supports Layer 3 routed access under IP Base, including static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub, and OSPF for routed access. Full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 require IP Services. Keep the 24000-entry IPv4 total distinct from license-dependent protocol capabilities when validating requirements.
No, WS-C3650-48PWQ-S ships with one PWR-C2-640WAC and has a second internal power supply bay for optional redundancy. Itemize an additional PWR-C2-640WAC= if that configuration is required. Single-supply operation is not redundant, so specify the intended supply configuration rather than assuming the second bay is populated.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S is discontinued, with an end-of-sale date of October 31, 2021, and a last date of support of October 31, 2026. No direct migration PID is assigned to this bundle. A separate reseller warranty does not extend Cisco service or software-support milestones.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S provides the standard PoE power allowance, whereas WS-C3650-48FWQ-S is the full-PoE wireless-license bundle. Both are discontinued. Size combined endpoint draw rather than selecting solely by powered-port count: the standard bundle addresses lower aggregate demand, while the full-PoE bundle addresses larger endpoint-power allocations.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S includes IP Base, whereas WS-C3650-48PQ-E includes IP Services for advanced routing. Both models are discontinued. IP Base covers routed-access requirements; IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4. The IP Base bundle addresses limited access routing, while the IP Services variant suits advanced routing requirements.
WS-C3650-48PWQ-S has four 10G uplinks, while WS-C3650-48PWS-S has four 1G uplinks. Both wireless-license bundles are discontinued. Check upstream interfaces and required link rates before selecting either configuration for existing equipment: the 10G variant addresses faster distribution connections, while the 1G variant matches Gigabit aggregation.
ORM Systems offers WS-C3650-48PWQ-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Cisco's eligibility-dependent Enhanced Limited Lifetime warranty is separate and cannot extend service beyond October 31, 2026.
