• PoE Budget: Integrated Power over Ethernet for connected devices
• Software Image: Standard Image (SMI)
• Stacking: Cisco StackWise technology for scalable stackable deployment
• Model Number: WS-C3750V2-48PS-S
• Brand: Cisco
• Product Series: Catalyst 3750V2

Key Advantages

The WS-C3750V2-48PS-S combines high port density with unified PoE support, reducing the need for separate power injectors in access networks. Its SFP uplinks provide flexible fiber connectivity for backbone integration, while StackWise allows multiple units to operate as a single logical switch, simplifying management and increasing redundancy. This model is a cost-effective choice for enterprises standardizing on 10/100 access speeds with future migration to gigabit.

Compatibility & Integration

The switch supports standard IEEE 802.3af PoE for compatibility with a wide range of powered devices. It integrates with Cisco Catalyst management platforms and can be stacked with other Catalyst 3750V2 models using the same software image. The SFP ports accept industry-standard 1000BASE-SX/LX transceivers for interconnection with core switches and routers in multi-vendor environments.
