About the Cisco Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-48PS Cisco Catalyst switch

With a PoE power budget of 370W distributed across 48 ports, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-48PS delivers enterprise-grade power delivery and switching capacity in a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor. This Cisco Catalyst switch combines 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports with 4 x 1G SFP uplink ports for a total of 52 ports, achieving a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps. The integrated Cisco IOS XE operating system supports static routing, OSPF, and EIGRP (with appropriate license), while the MAC address table accommodates 32,000 entries and supports up to 4,094 VLANs. Cisco StackWise-160 technology enables up to 9 stack members with 160 Gbps of stack bandwidth, allowing seamless scalability across distributed deployments.

Network engineers and IT procurement teams deploying converged infrastructure in mid-to-large enterprise environments select the WS-C3650-48PS for its integrated wireless LAN controller, which supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac access points, eliminating the need for separate controller hardware. Security-conscious organizations benefit from comprehensive features including IEEE 802.1X authentication, MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) encryption, Cisco TrustSec segmentation, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source Guard—all critical for protecting campus and branch networks. The combination of high PoE capacity and robust stacking capabilities makes this platform ideal for organizations requiring resilient network infrastructure with minimal operational complexity.

The Cisco Catalyst 3650 WS-C3650-48PS is managed via console (RJ-45), USB Mini-Type B, and USB Type-A interfaces, supporting rapid provisioning and troubleshooting. Contact Omnixon Global to discuss your network switching requirements and request a detailed quote for this enterprise solution.
