Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series (EDU-C3850-48P-L) 48 Ports Managed Network Switch

Cisco Catalyst 3850 EDU-C3850-48P-L

Looking for a 48-port managed switch you can rely on? The Cisco EDU-C3850-48P-L (Catalyst 3850) is a strong choice for branch and headquarters networks that need consistent, centrally managed access switching. It belongs to a family built for stackable enterprise access and aggregation switching.

A total of 48 ports gives you room to grow without adding another switch. Dense port counts help consolidate the wiring closet and reduce the number of switches to maintain.

As a managed switch it gives administrators full control over how traffic is segmented, prioritized and secured. The Cisco IOS XE platform provides a proven foundation for configuration, automation and monitoring. VLANs let you separate voice, guest, management and user traffic for better performance and security. Stable switching is the foundation for every application your users rely on. Plan which ports will serve end devices and which will act as uplinks to keep cabling tidy and future changes simple. Everyday business communication depends on dependable switching between users, servers and the internet.

A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. It serves floor-level wiring closets in offices, schools and hospitals. Consistent features across the product family simplify standardization in large, multi-site networks. It is a solid base for unified communications, Wi-Fi expansion and network access policies. In an access layer role it connects end users, while uplinks carry aggregated traffic to the distribution or core layer. Choose the Cisco EDU-C3850-48P-L when you need Cisco managed switching you can rely on.
