WS-C3650-48TS-S is a managed Cisco Catalyst 3650 fixed-uplink access switch for 48 10/100/1000 copper data drops and four 1G SFP uplinks. The IP Base 4x1G uplink model runs Cisco IOS XE as a Layer 3 enterprise access platform, with routed access services for wiring closets that need Gigabit endpoints and fiber handoffs without endpoint power. Non-PoE downlinks keep the hardware focused on data ports, while the 1U Catalyst 3650 Series chassis fits standard rack rows and supports optional StackWise-160 stacking. For the same port count with powered endpoints, WS-C3650-48PS-S changes the access ports to PoE+ and ships with a PWR-C2-640WAC supply instead of PWR-C2-250WAC.
WS-C3650-48TS-S price for new stock is $6,948.90, a 52% saving from the Cisco list price of $14,463.00. WS-C3650-48TS-S refurb price is $115.50. WS-C3650-48TS-S is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity supports the 48-port non-multigigabit hardware class, and 77.37 Mpps forwarding applies to the 4x1G uplink model. Static, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, EIGRP Stub and OSPF for routed access are available under IP Base; full EIGRP, BGPv4, IS-ISv4 and PIM require IP Services. WS-C3650-48TS-S carries 4 GB DRAM, 2 GB flash, a 32000-entry MAC table, 24000 IPv4 routes, 1000 SVIs and 4094 VLAN IDs. Cisco IOS XE management uses the console CLI, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Telnet, SSH and SNMPv3, with UADP ASIC forwarding and Flexible NetFlow visibility across wired plus wireless traffic. The PWR-C2-250WAC input range is 100-240VAC at 50-60 Hz, and the second supply bay supports redundancy rather than endpoint power output.
ORM Systems supplies WS-C3650-48TS-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement. Specify the condition, quantity and any spare supply lines on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested; managed units are firmware verified, wiped to factory default, and checked for power-on and POST, every port link, SFP bay recognition, stack adapter negotiation, PWR-C2-250WAC status and FAN-T1 fan status. New orders can carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished orders up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying. ORM can source regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA for volume buys.

In a 500-employee corporate campus, IT architects deploy a stack of WS-C3650-48TS-S switches at the building’s access layer, supporting 48 desktop and IP-phone ports plus four 1 Gbps uplinks to the distribution core. Leveraging IP Base routing, QoS and software-defined segmentation, the solution delivers predictable performance for VoIP, video conferencing and data services. Outcome: simplified network management, seamless firmware upgrades via Cisco StackWise, and 30 % faster desktop onboarding—with high availability and capacity headroom for future growth.
A national retail chain standardizes on the WS-C3650-48TS-S at each 2,000 sq ft branch to aggregate PoE midspan devices, POS terminals and CCTV cameras across 48 data ports. Four dedicated 1 Gbps uplinks using OSPF from the IP Base license ensure resilient WAN connectivity to headquarters. Built-in access-control lists and segmentation isolate sensitive payment traffic from guest Wi-Fi. Outcome: uniform security policies across 100+ locations, 25 % reduction in on-site hardware costs, and rapid rollback capabilities to minimize downtime during maintenance.
In a 30,000-seat university sports stadium, network engineers deploy multiple WS-C3650-48TS-S switches in distributed closets to aggregate up to 48 wireless access points per switch. Four 1 Gbps uplinks are configured in EtherChannel to the data center core, providing redundant, high-throughput paths. IP Base features enable VRF-lite segmentation of guest, faculty and IoT traffic and advanced QoS for live video streaming. Outcome: reliable coverage for 20,000 concurrent users, zero packet loss during peak events and centralized, policy-driven management via Cisco DNA Center.
A wiring closet standardizing from WS-C3560V2-48TS-S or WS-C3750V2-48TS-S can keep a 48-drop data layout while moving uplinks to four 1G SFP cages. Confirm fiber optics, rack power for PWR-C2-250WAC and any separate endpoint-power plan before the PO.
A branch design using mobility controller mode can terminate access point traffic and manage up to 25 access points per switch or stack. Specify AP licensing with LIC-CTIOS-1A or L-LIC-CTIOS-1A when mobility controller operation is required before staging begins in the branch.
An existing IP Base 3650 stack can add a matching member when the site still needs 1G copper density instead of a platform change. Specify C3650-STACK-KIT= plus one STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= cable and verify the same platform before purchase.
PoE endpoint power
The 48 RJ-45 downlinks are data only; choose C9300L-48P-4G-A when the current order needs 48 PoE ports with 4x1G uplinks.
10G distribution uplinks
Four fixed SFP uplinks operate at 1G; choose C9300L-48T-4X-A when the current order needs 48 data ports with 4x10G uplinks.

WS-C3650-48TS-S identifies a Catalyst 3650 standalone switch with optional stacking, 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet data ports, 4x1G uplink ports, a PWR-C2-250WAC power supply and the IP Base feature set. The part number is not a PoE model, so the access ports are data only.
WS-C3650-48TS-S is managed through the console CLI, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, Telnet, SSH and SNMPv3. StackWise-160 operation presents a stack through one IP address, one Telnet session and one CLI session when members use the required matching platform and license level.
WS-C3650-48TS-S is end-of-sale; the end-of-sale date was 31 October 2021 and the last date of Cisco support is 31 October 2026. Cisco software maintenance releases ended 31 October 2022, so post-support orders rely on reseller warranty and sparing instead of Cisco service.
ORM offers WS-C3650-48TS-S new sealed and certified refurbished, while Cisco Enhanced Limited Lifetime coverage is bounded by the 31 October 2026 last date of support. ORM warranty is up to 3 years on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns.
No, WS-C3650-48TS-S does not provide PoE. The switch has 48 data 10/100/1000 Ethernet access ports and a PWR-C2-250WAC supply, while PoE variants such as WS-C3650-48PS-S use PoE+ ports and a PWR-C2-640WAC supply.
WS-C3650-48TS-S has four fixed 1G SFP uplink ports. The uplinks are built into the chassis rather than added through a network module, so the purchase plan should include the required SFP optics separately for the fiber plant.
Yes, WS-C3650-48TS-S supports StackWise-160 stacking with up to nine switches. Order C3650-STACK-KIT= for the stack module and choose STACK-T2-50CM=, STACK-T2-1M= or STACK-T2-3M= for the required stack cable length. Mixed LAN Base, IP Base and IP Services stacks are not supported.
WS-C3650-48TS-S ships with IP Base as the permanent feature set. A 48-port IP Base unit can upgrade to IP Services with C3650-48-S-E paper RTU or L-C3650-48-S-E electronic RTU licensing; evaluation licensing is not orderable and expires after 90 days.
WS-C3560V2-48TS-S and WS-C3750V2-48TS-S moved to WS-C3650-48TS-S as their replacement path. The transition moved the 48-port data role from older Fast Ethernet Catalyst switches to Gigabit Ethernet access with 4x1G uplinks and IP Base software.
WS-C3650-48TS-S ships with one PWR-C2-250WAC power supply and supports a secondary supply bay. Add PWR-C2-250WAC= for AC redundancy or PWR-C2-640WDC= when a DC supply is required for a non-multigigabit 3650 deployment. The second supply is not part of the base unit.
WS-C3650-48PS-S adds 48 PoE+ access ports and a PWR-C2-640WAC supply, while WS-C3650-48TS-S uses 48 data-only ports and PWR-C2-250WAC. Choose WS-C3650-48PS-S only for legacy 3650 PoE sparing; choose WS-C3650-48TS-S for non-PoE 1G data drops.
WS-C3650-48TS-E carries the IP Services feature set, while WS-C3650-48TS-S carries IP Base on the same 48-port data and 4x1G uplink hardware description. WS-C3650-48TS-E suits legacy full Layer 3 feature sparing; WS-C3650-48TS-S suits IP Base access standardization.
C9300L-48T-4G-A is the named replacement for WS-C3650-48TS-S and moves the refresh path to Catalyst 9300L with Network Advantage and 4x1G uplinks. C9300L-48T-4G-A suits current refresh purchasing; WS-C3650-48TS-S suits installed-base 3650 sparing where matching stacks matter.
