The Cisco 48-Port 1 Gigabit SFP Fiber Ethernet Module with DFC4XL (part number: WS-X6848-SFP-2TXL) is a high-performance expansion module specifically designed for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. It offers advanced network capabilities to support the growing demands of modern infrastructure. This module features a total of 48 SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting both short-range and long-range fibre connections through Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers.
One of its key attributes is the inclusion of a Distributed Forwarding Card 4XL (DFC4XL), enhancing the performance of the switching and routing intelligence within the module. The DFC4XL allows the module to offload data plane functions from the main supervisor engine, improving overall throughput and lowering the load on the system's central processing.
This module supports Gigabit Ethernet, allowing fast data transmission over fibre networks, making it ideal for enterprises requiring a robust, high-speed backbone for their internal network. The device also supports 802.1q VLAN tagging and Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, enhancing its versatility and operational performance in various network environments, including multi-tenant deployments and campus areas.
Another notable feature of this module is its two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, which provide a high-bandwidth connection to the core network for enhanced performance in hierarchical network designs.
