Overview

The Cisco WS-C3850-48XS-F-E is a high-performance switch designed for enterprise-level networks, offering a comprehensive suite of features to meet the demands of modern data centers and large network environments. This switch is equipped with 48 SFP+ ports and 4 QSFP ports, supporting high-speed network connections and providing flexibility for uplink or direct attach connections. It operates on the IP Services feature set, delivering advanced network capabilities including layer 3 routing, Quality of Service (QoS), and multicast services. With a form factor of 1RU, the device is compact and can be efficiently integrated into a standard 19-inch rack, optimizing space in crowded data centers. Despite its small size, it boasts a significant power supply of 750 WAC, ensuring reliable performance under various load conditions. The switch is designed for standalone operation, not supporting stacking, which makes it suitable for environments where a single, powerful switch is required without the complexity of stack management. Airflow in the Cisco WS-C3850-48XS-F-E is managed from back-to-front, aiding in maintaining optimal operating temperatures and contributing to the system's overall reliability. This cooling mechanism is essential for prolonging the lifespan of the switch, which is reflected in its mean time between failures (MTBF) of 286,900 hours, indicating a high level of durability and stability.
  • Size dimensions are 1.75 x 17.5 x 20.1 inches, making it a compact yet powerful solution for network infrastructure.
  • It weighs 16.42 lbs, balancing the need for a solid build with the ease of installation and maintenance.
  • The operating conditions are designed to accommodate a wide range of environments, with operating temperatures ranging from -5 °C to 45 °C and the capability to function up to 5000 ft altitude with AC power supply, and up to 6000 ft with DC power supply.
The switch also demonstrates a commitment to environmental standards, with RoHS-5 compliance ensuring reduced hazardous substances in its manufacture. Furthermore, it meets a variety of safety certifications, including UL 60950-1 and EN 60950-1, among others, assuring that it adheres to global safety standards. The operational resilience of the Cisco WS-C3850-48XS-F-E is further highlighted by its ability to withstand a wide range of temperature and humidity levels, from as low as -40 °C up to 70 °C for storage, and non-condensing humidity from 10% to 95%. Its design also considers the rigors of transport and storage, with non-operating vibration resistance of 1.12 g from 3 to 500 Hz. In terms of acoustic performance, the device operates at a noise level of 44 dBA at 30 °C, ensuring a relatively quiet operation that can be beneficial in shared workspaces or noise-sensitive areas. In summary, the Cisco WS-C3850-48XS-F-E is tailored for organizations requiring a high-density, feature-rich networking solution. Its combination of port types, power efficiency, compact design, and environmental resilience make it a suitable choice for supporting critical network applications and services.
