The Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-L Catalyst 3650 Series Managed Switch is an enterprise-class access layer switch designed for campus networks, branch offices, and converged wired-wireless deployments. Featuring 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and 2 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports, it delivers high-speed connectivity, scalable performance, and simplified network management for modern enterprise environments.
Built on the Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series, the WS-C3650-48TD-L offers up to 176 Gbps switching capacity and 104 Mpps forwarding performance, ensuring wire-speed data transmission for business-critical applications. The 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports provide reliable connectivity for desktops, IP phones, wireless access points, and other network devices, while the 10G SFP+ uplinks enable high-bandwidth connections to aggregation and core switches. Select platform variants also support 2 × 1G SFP uplink interfaces for additional deployment flexibility.
Running Cisco IOS XE with the LAN Base feature set, the switch delivers secure Layer 2 switching with essential Layer 3 capabilities, making it well suited for enterprise access networks. It supports advanced networking technologies including IPv4, IPv6, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, limited inter-VLAN routing, EtherChannel, IEEE 802.3ad LACP, Quality of Service (QoS), jumbo frames, and spanning tree protocols to improve network efficiency and performance.
The WS-C3650-48TD-L incorporates Cisco StackWise-160 technology, allowing up to nine compatible switches to operate as a single logical unit with 160 Gbps stacking bandwidth. This architecture simplifies management, enhances scalability, and provides greater network resiliency for expanding enterprise infrastructures.
Security is strengthened through enterprise-grade features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), IEEE 802.1X authentication, port security, DHCP snooping, and Dynamic ARP Inspection, helping protect network resources from unauthorized access and common Layer 2 attacks.
Designed in a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor with an integrated 250W AC power supply, the Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-L also supports converged wired and wireless access management, enabling centralized control of both wired devices and compatible Cisco wireless access points.
Ideal for enterprise campus access networks, branch office connectivity, Layer 2 switching with basic Layer 3 services, scalable stack deployments, and high-performance access layer networking, the Cisco WS-C3650-48TD-L Catalyst 3650 48-Port Gigabit Managed Switch delivers enterprise-grade reliability, simplified management, and secure connectivity for growing business networks.
