WS-C3850-48T-S Use Case
Unified Campus Access & Wireless Uplink Aggregation
In a mid-sized corporate campus with 40+ access switches and 300+ wireless APs, the WS-C3850-48T-S consolidates wired and Wi-Fi traffic on a single stack of up to nine switches. Integrated Cisco StackWise-480, advanced QoS and 480 Gbps backplane deliver seamless roaming, policy enforcement and zero-touch provisioning via Cisco DNA Center. Outcome: 40% faster deployment, 30% lower OPEX, and enterprise-grade uptime with granular security segmentation.
High-Density Retail PoE+ Infrastructure for Digital Signage & POS
A regional retail chain deploys 48-port PoE+ WS-C3850-48T-S switches in each store to power kiosks, digital signage and POS terminals. With 740W PoE budget, per-port power allocation and energy-efficient Ethernet, the switch delivers predictable performance under peak foot traffic. Outcome: 25% reduction in cabling costs, real-time inventory updates, and a consistent customer experience through guaranteed throughput and centralized management.
Industrial IoT Connectivity & Real-Time Automation
In a manufacturing plant, the WS-C3850-48T-S serves as the network backbone for 100+ sensors, PLCs and video cameras. Industrial-grade reliability, IPSec VPN and built-in Layer 3 routing (OSPF, EIGRP) ensure deterministic data paths for SCADA systems and remote monitoring. Outcome: 99.99% network availability, sub-millisecond failover, and end-to-end visibility that accelerates predictive maintenance and minimizes unplanned downtime.
