The Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Switch with part number WS-C4500X-16SFP+ is a high-performance fixed-configuration switch designed for business environments where resilience, scalability, and high throughput are essential. This model has 16 ports, each of which is SFP+ enabled to support high-speed data transmission, making it ideal for gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet connections. The device is versatile, supporting a range of fibre optic connectivity options and can be expanded up to 40 ports with the use of expansion modules.
This switch is designed for rack-mountable configurations, saving space in larger networking setups such as data centres, consolidating network management and reducing physical clutter. Its rugged design ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments. Integrated with Enterprise-class software, the switch supports virtualisation, deep visibility into traffic flows, and policy-based automation to ensure that complex networks are easy to manage.
