Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.

Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.

The Cisco C1-WSC3850-12X48UL-E is a refurbished enterprise stackable switch from the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series, engineered to support the evolving needs of converged wired and wireless network infrastructures. As a Cisco ONE (C1) SKU, this switch includes Cisco ONE Foundation licensing, which streamlines software entitlement and provides a flexible path to advanced feature sets.



With 48 PoE+ downlink ports, this switch is well-suited for powering high-density access points, IP phones, and IoT endpoints across enterprise campuses and branch offices. The "UL" designation indicates an unlimited PoE power configuration, allowing administrators to maximize PoE budget allocation without artificial restrictions tied to licensing tiers.



The Catalyst 3850 platform supports full IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standards and delivers a robust feature set including advanced QoS, VLAN segmentation, comprehensive security policies, and support for Cisco StackWise-480 technology for high-bandwidth stacking. Running Cisco IOS XE, the switch provides a modular, container-based operating environment for improved stability and serviceability.



Purchasing this unit as a Refurbished switch through WhaleyComm delivers enterprise-grade performance at a significantly reduced price point, making it an ideal choice for IT teams looking to expand capacity, refresh aging infrastructure, or deploy reliable access-layer switching without the cost of new equipment.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
    The "C1" prefix indicates this switch is a Cisco ONE SKU, meaning it comes bundled with Cisco ONE Foundation licensing. This simplifies software procurement and provides a consolidated license that covers a broad set of IOS XE features.
    "UL" refers to an unlimited PoE configuration, meaning the switch's PoE power budget is not artificially restricted by a lower licensing tier. This allows administrators to fully utilize available PoE capacity across all 48 ports without additional licensing upgrades.
    This switch is sold as Refurbished, meaning it has been previously deployed and has since been inspected, tested, and verified for functionality by WhaleyComm's quality assurance process. Refurbished units offer the same enterprise-grade performance as new hardware at a reduced cost.
    Yes, the Catalyst 3850 platform supports Cisco StackWise-480 technology, allowing this switch to be stacked with other compatible Catalyst 3850 Series switches in a unified stack of up to 9 units. This enables simplified management and increased resilience across your access layer.
