The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Gigabit Ethernet Module, part number WS-X4448-GB-SFP=, is a high-performance, plug-in module designed to augment network capabilities for large enterprises and data centres that utilise the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series chassis. This versatile module offers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling high-speed connectivity within a large-scale network infrastructure.
Each of the 48 ports on the WS-X4448-GB-SFP= module supports Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, allowing the integration of both copper and fibre optic connections depending on the chosen SFP module. This flexibility makes it highly adaptable to various network setups, whether supporting long-range fibre installations or shorter copper links. It is also a fully hot-swappable module, meaning it can be added or replaced without the need to power down the chassis, minimising network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
The module is designed for efficient use in conjunction with Cisco’s Catalyst 4500 Series switches, making it an integral part of expanding the switching capacity within complex networks. Supporting Layer 2 switching, the device provides robust traffic management and increased bandwidth availability, making it ideal for environments with data-heavy applications or dense user bases.
Overall, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Gigabit Ethernet Module with 48 ports is a modular, scalable solution that ensures reliable network performance and operational flexibility in enterprise-level environments where network requirements are constantly evolving.
