As an L2/L3 switching fabric with support for IEEE 802.1D, PVST+, Rapid PVST+, and MST (802.1s) spanning tree protocols, the Cisco Catalyst 3850 WS-C3850-48T-L delivers enterprise-grade switching performance for campus and data center edge deployments. This Cisco Catalyst 3850 model features 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports with a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and forwarding rate of 130.95 Mpps, paired with a single removable AC power supply and optional hot-swappable redundant power supply support. The device supports up to 1,005 VLANs (with 4,094 VLAN IDs), maintains a 32,000-entry MAC address table, and runs Cisco IOS XE with LAN Base feature set. A single network module slot accommodates uplink expansion modules (sold separately), while Cisco StackWise-480 technology enables up to 9 units to stack with 480 Gbps aggregate bandwidth for seamless fabric scaling.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams responsible for mid-to-large campus networks, branch consolidation, and access layer modernization choose the WS-C3850-48T-L for its density, stacking capability, and proven Cisco reliability. Typical power consumption of approximately 55 W (without uplink module) keeps operational costs competitive, while the compact 1RU form factor—measuring 4.46 cm (H) × 44.5 cm (W) × 45.7 cm (D)—integrates efficiently into standard rack infrastructure. Organizations requiring both high port count and the flexibility to expand uplink capacity through modular design find this switch essential for reducing cabling complexity and supporting future bandwidth growth without complete hardware replacement.

The Cisco Catalyst 3850 WS-C3850-48T-L Cisco Catalyst switch is enterprise networking hardware for data-center, campus, and branch deployments. Common roles include core/distribution switching, server uplinks, top-of-rack fabric, and edge connectivity in mixed Cisco/Juniper/Arista environments.
The Cisco Catalyst 3850 WS-C3850-48T-L Cisco Catalyst switch interoperates with standard switching protocols (LACP, MLAG/VPC, 802.1Q, OSPF/BGP). For specific cross-vendor scenarios — Cisco-to-Arista MLAG peering, fabric integration with Cumulus/SONiC, or migration from legacy Catalyst — our network engineers map a compatibility plan as part of the RFQ.
