WS-C3650-48TQ-S is a 48-port Gigabit data switch with four fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, IP Base licensing and managed Layer 3 operation in a 1U rack chassis. The Catalyst 3650 configuration connects separately powered endpoints; its Ethernet connections do not supply PoE. Uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through an interchangeable network card, so a removable uplink module is not part of the configuration. The discontinued WS-C3650-48PQ-S differs by supplying PoE+ to endpoint connections. This model serves enterprise access installations where endpoint power comes from outside the Ethernet switch and the required uplink arrangement is selected with the chassis.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S price for new stock is $1,218.00, a 93% saving from the Cisco list price of $17,363.00. WS-C3650-48TQ-S refurb price is $273.00. WS-C3650-48TQ-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity accommodates aggregate traffic across the access and uplink interfaces. 130.95 Mpps forwarding capacity supplies a separate packet-processing figure for traffic sizing. Static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and routed-access OSPF provide the available routing paths; full OSPF, full EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 require IP Services rather than the installed tier. WS-C3650-48TQ-S uses UADP forwarding silicon with 4 GB DRAM and 2 GB flash for software operation and storage. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series accommodates 32000 MAC entries and 24000 total IPv4 routes, including ARP and learned routes; hardware scale remains separate from license restrictions. A PWR-C2-250WAC supply ships in the primary bay, while another PWR-C2-250WAC can provide internal power redundancy. Three FAN-T1 fans cool the chassis, so this configuration is not fanless. The 96.7W consumption figure represents standalone operation at full traffic under ATIS testing, not the PWR-C2-250WAC supply's output rating.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S is offered new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantities on the PO; Cisco's original-customer enhanced limited lifetime warranty is separate, and Cisco support ends October 31, 2026. For enterprise and volume purchasing, ORM accepts POs, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a large university deploying hundreds of 802.11ac access points and IoT sensors, the WS-C3650-48TQ-S Cisco Catalyst 3650 48 Port Data 4x10G Uplink IP Base functions as a centralized Layer 2/3 aggregation switch. It delivers non-blocking 48-port connectivity, four 10 Gbps uplinks and advanced QoS to ensure uninterrupted, secure access for students and faculty—simplifying management, boosting throughput by up to 240 Gbps and supporting seamless roaming across campus.
For small to midsize data centers running VMware and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, the WS-C3650-48TQ-S serves as a robust Top-of-Rack switch providing 48 high-density 1 Gbps server links and four redundant 10 Gbps uplinks. Its IP Base feature set supports OSPF/EIGRP stub routing, hardware-based multicast and 160 Gbps StackWise-160 resilience—enabling low-latency, high-availability compute clusters and scaling as demand grows.
Retail chains with distributed branch stores leverage the WS-C3650-48TQ-S Cisco Catalyst 3650 to converge IP telephony, surveillance cameras and POS terminals over a single network fabric. Its built-in QoS policies, ACL segmentation and four 10 Gbps uplinks guarantee clear voice calls, secure video streams and swift transaction processing—reducing hardware footprints, speeding deployments and ensuring consistent customer experiences.
For a staging bench that validates the production software image before installation, browser access is not a software-upgrade path on Cisco IOS XE 16.12. Use the CLI for installation, upgrade or downgrade work, and include the required release and boot verification in the staging instructions before the PO.
When an existing fabric design assigns separate virtual networks to departments or device groups, the IP Base configuration is limited to three virtual networks with Cisco SD-Access. Count the required segments before extending the design, and specify the virtual-network allocation and associated software entitlements in the purchase requirements.
For branch cabinets that may be unheated before equipment startup, the minimum ambient temperature for a cold start is 0°C. A site that reaches colder conditions needs startup planning rather than relying only on the operating-temperature range. Specify the cabinet conditions and startup-temperature requirement before placing the PO.
PoE-powered phones or access points
The data-only ports cannot power endpoints. C9300L-48P-4X-A is the migration option for powered access, retaining 48 endpoint ports and four 10G uplinks.
Cisco support beyond October 2026
Cisco support ends October 31, 2026, including support available under eligible warranty terms. C9300L-48T-4X-A is the announced migration replacement for a successor-platform purchase.

WS-C3650-48TQ-S identifies a Cisco Catalyst 3650 configuration: WS-C3650 names the platform, 48 denotes the access-port count, T denotes data-only Ethernet, Q denotes four 10G uplinks, and S denotes IP Base. The complete part number distinguishes this configuration from powered-port and differently licensed variants.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S supports the web UI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, Cisco Prime infrastructure, SNMP and programmable NETCONF-YANG management. Cisco DNA Center features require the appropriate add-on license. Choose the administration method and specify the software image, access controls and external management-system entitlements before deployment.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S is discontinued: Cisco ended sales on October 31, 2021, and the last date of support is October 31, 2026. Vulnerability and security support also ends on October 31, 2026. The announced migration model is C9300L-48T-4X-A, distinguishing legacy replacement stock from a successor-platform refresh.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to three years extended for new units and up to one year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original-customer enhanced limited lifetime warranty is separate; Cisco support ends October 31, 2026.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S carries perpetual IP Base; optional Cisco DNA Advantage and Cisco DNA Premier subscriptions have a three-year minimum. IP Services is a separate higher base tier. Cisco IOS XE 16.12 manages entitlements through Smart Licensing and a Smart Account. Subscription terms expire; the permanent base license has no expiration date.
The Catalyst 3650 supports nine members with StackWise-160 and 160 Gbps stack bandwidth, using C3650-STACK-KIT= stacking hardware. Cable choices are STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= and STACK-T2-3M=. Members must remain within Catalyst 3650 and share a license level; different base tiers cannot be mixed in one stack.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S provides Layer 3 routed access with static routing, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF restricted to routed access. IP Base does not include full OSPF, full EIGRP, BGPv4 or IS-ISv4. Match the routing design to the installed tier instead of treating hardware route capacity as protocol entitlement.
No, WS-C3650-48TQ-S ships with one PWR-C2-250WAC and supports an optional second PWR-C2-250WAC. Adding another PWR-C2-250WAC provides internal power redundancy rather than endpoint power output. Confirm the quantity of installed PWR-C2-250WAC supplies and the required CAB-TA-NA= power cord when specifying the contents of a US order.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S has four built-in SFP+ uplinks supporting 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP operation, including mixed 1G and 10G use. The same cages serve either speed; uplink selection does not require a removable network card. Match transceiver compatibility, link distance and fiber type before specifying optics.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S has data-only ports, whereas WS-C3650-48PQ-S supplies PoE+ to endpoint connections. Both are discontinued Catalyst 3650 configurations. Choose the data-only model for separately powered endpoints within an existing installation; the PoE+ model addresses powered endpoint connections, subject to its shared power budget.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S includes IP Base, while WS-C3650-48TQ-E includes IP Services with full OSPF, EIGRP, BGPv4 and IS-ISv4 capabilities. Both configurations are discontinued. Existing routed-access installations can retain the IP Base tier; legacy networks needing the broader protocol set require the IP Services entitlement.
WS-C3650-48TQ-S is the discontinued legacy model, and C9300L-48T-4X-A is its announced migration replacement. Cisco support for the legacy hardware ends October 31, 2026. The older model serves replacement or sparing needs inside an existing Catalyst 3650 installation; the successor is the named option for a platform refresh.
