WS-C3650-48TQ-E is a managed Layer 3 enterprise access switch with 48 Gigabit Ethernet data ports, four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, and the IP Services feature set. Its copper connections serve separately powered workstations, servers, and network devices rather than supplying endpoint power. The Catalyst 3650 occupies one rack unit and supports standalone operation or optional physical stacking. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PQ-E differs by providing PoE+ access ports. Fixed uplink hardware makes the required connection architecture part of the switch selection rather than a later network-card upgrade. IP Services enables advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing for deployments that need more than basic switched access.
WS-C3650-48TQ-E price for new stock is $7,938.00. WS-C3650-48TQ-E refurb price is $1,050.00. WS-C3650-48TQ-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 130.95 Mpps forwarding support the access and uplink interfaces. OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4 provide advanced unicast routing; OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 extend routing to IPv6. PIM-SM, PIM-DM, and SSM support multicast operation. WS-C3650-48TQ-E combines 4 GB of DRAM with 2 GB of flash for software operation and storage. The forwarding resources accommodate 32000 MAC addresses and 24000 IPv4 entries, including ARP and learned routes. Cisco UADP handles packet forwarding, while RSTP, MSTP, and LACP support Layer 2 topology and link aggregation. 96.7W consumption at 100% traffic provides a power-planning reference for the standalone configuration.
Specify WS-C3650-48TQ-E as new sealed or certified refurbished; Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is original-owner coverage bounded by October 31, 2026. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PWR-C2-250WAC PSU status, and FAN-T1 fan status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Put condition and quantities on the PO: ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, with terms applying. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA with advance replacement covers regional stock and RMA arrangements across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

In a large enterprise campus deploying Wi-Fi 6 access points, IP telephony and surveillance cameras, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port Data 4×10G Uplink IP Services (WS-C3650-48TQ-E) provides 48 Gigabit PoE+ ports and four 10 Gbps uplinks. Benefit: Consolidates access and aggregation layers, enforces end-to-end QoS for voice and video, and leverages Cisco IOS XE automation to reduce deployment time and operational costs while ensuring low latency and high availability.
In a virtualized data center requiring high-throughput Top-of-Rack switching, the WS-C3650-48TQ-E delivers wire-speed performance across 48 1 Gbps server links and 4×10 Gbps uplinks to core aggregation. Benefit: Enables seamless east-west traffic with Cisco IP Services features such as OSPF/BGP, VXLAN routing and advanced multicast, optimizing VM migration and east-west load balancing while simplifying network segmentation and troubleshooting.
For multi-site enterprises expanding branch networks, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port Data 4×10G Uplink IP Services switch provides 48 Gigabit access ports with PoE+ support and high-speed 10 Gbps uplinks to the WAN edge. Benefit: Delivers secure segmentation via Cisco TrustSec, prioritizes critical business applications with hardware-accelerated QoS and performs scalable routing with Cisco IOS XE, reducing branch networking complexity and enhancing user experience across voice, video and cloud services.
When an access refresh requires separate routed interfaces for numerous network segments, the Catalyst 3650 supports 1000 switched virtual interfaces and 4094 VLAN IDs. Keep interface allocation separate from routing-entry requirements, and specify the intended VLAN layout, routed interfaces, and software configuration before issuing the purchase order.
When purchasing a replacement spare, chassis completeness matters as well as electrical operation. PWR-C2-BLANK= must cover an unused power supply slot to maintain proper cooling. Include that physical inspection in acceptance, and specify any missing PWR-C2-BLANK= with the replacement hardware before approving the purchase order.
When staging a replacement configuration, the USB mini-Type B console takes input priority over the RJ-45 console, although both continue to display output. A connected USB console therefore changes which terminal accepts commands. Specify the staging connection and verify console ownership before approving the hardware purchase order.
PoE power for connected endpoints
WS-C3650-48TQ-E provides data-only access ports and cannot power endpoints. C9300L-48P-4X-A is the current migration option for a 48-port PoE configuration with four 10G uplinks.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco support for WS-C3650-48TQ-E ends October 31, 2026. Specify the current C9300L-48T-4X-A migration model when continued Cisco support is a purchasing requirement.

WS-C3650-48TQ-E identifies a Catalyst 3650 data switch: WS-C3650 names the family, 48 denotes the access-port count, T denotes data-only Ethernet, Q denotes four 10G uplinks, and E denotes IP Services. The standalone configuration includes a PWR-C2-250WAC power supply; stacking hardware is optional.
WS-C3650-48TQ-E supports Cisco IOS CLI access through SSH, Telnet, RJ-45 console, or USB mini-Type B console, plus browser-based Device Manager. A web Configuration Wizard handles wireless controller setup, Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides centralized management, and SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 support monitoring. Configure the intended access methods before commissioning.
Yes, WS-C3650-48TQ-E reached end of sale on October 31, 2021, and its last date of Cisco support is October 31, 2026. Software maintenance ended October 31, 2022. Remaining hardware orders are discontinued inventory, and C9300L-48T-4X-A is the current migration model.
WS-C3650-48TQ-E is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM coverage up to 3 years extended for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is original-owner coverage bounded by October 31, 2026. Returns are 30 days in either condition; terms apply.
WS-C3650-48TQ-E includes the IP Services feature set through RTU licensing. Optional Cisco DNA Advantage provides 3-year or 5-year subscription terms for SD-Access, while Cisco DNA Premier provides a subscription bundle path. The base feature set and optional subscription are separate purchasing decisions, not interchangeable license descriptions.
Yes, Catalyst 3650 uses StackWise-160 for nine-member stacks with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. C3650-STACK-KIT= adds the required stacking hardware when absent, and cable options are STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M=, and STACK-T2-3M=. Catalyst 3850 switches cannot be mixed into that stack; verify the installed adapters before ordering cables.
WS-C3650-48TQ-E has four fixed uplink cages supporting 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP connections. Compatible transceivers establish the selected connection speed and media type. The uplinks are built into the chassis rather than added through a removable network card, so specify the intended optics with the hardware order.
WS-C3650-48PQ-E supplies PoE+ through its access ports, while WS-C3650-48TQ-E provides data-only connections. Both models are discontinued. The PQ variant serves endpoint-power requirements, whereas the TQ variant serves separately powered devices. A purchase requiring a current PoE migration model should specify C9300L-48P-4X-A instead of discontinued stock.
WS-C3650-48TQ-E includes IP Services, while WS-C3650-48TQ-S includes IP Base. IP Services enables full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4, and IS-ISv4; IP Base provides entry-level routed access. Both models are discontinued. Choose the E variant for advanced routing requirements and the S variant when IP Base covers the required functions.
C9300L-48T-4X-A is the current migration model for discontinued WS-C3650-48TQ-E, whose Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. The replacement retains a 48-port data configuration with four 10G uplinks. The older model serves legacy inventory requirements; the replacement serves purchases that require the current migration option.
