The Cisco Catalyst 5000 WS-X5237-FX-MT is a highly reliable, high-performance, plug-in module designed for Cisco’s Catalyst 5000 series. This module offers 24 ports, which are fully managed, providing robust network control and traffic management. It is particularly suited for environments requiring extensive port management functionality combined with flexible integration into the larger Cisco network architecture.
Each port supports 100Base-FX Ethernet, which allows for fast data transmission over optical fibre, making the module ideal for environments where long-distance data transmission is paramount. The built-in management features are highlighted by support for VLAN tag control, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocols (MSTP), and IGMP filtering, which greatly enhance network efficiency and security. Moreover, by utilising fibre connections, this module can reduce electromagnetic interference, thus improving integrity in signal transport.
Physically designed as a plug-in module, the WS-X5237-FX-MT is easy to install or replace within the existing Cisco Catalyst 5000 chassis. The plug-and-play design minimises downtime, providing essential flexibility for organisations looking for scalable networking solutions. Like other modules in the Catalyst 5000 series, it supports dynamic routing protocols, ensuring compatibility with multiple networking frameworks like OSPF and EIGRP.
Its modular form factor allows for integration into a larger networking setup without major infrastructural changes, making it highly adaptable to both small and large enterprise networks. With durability and scalability engineered into its design, this switch module serves as an ideal solution for professional, high-bandwidth environments that require centralised management and optimal performance over fibre connections.
