The Cisco Line Card E-Series (Part Number: WS-X4712-SFP+E=) is a high-performance plug-in module designed for use in Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series Switches. It features 12 small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) ports that support both 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections. This flexibility allows network administrators to tailor the line card to meet various bandwidth and connectivity needs across campus networks, data centres, and core infrastructures.
The line card has 12 dual-rate SFP+ optics slots, offering high-speed switching capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with 1 Gigabit Ethernet devices. This dual-rate functionality ensures that users can achieve efficient network management without the necessity of immediate hardware upgrades. The module provides a smooth transition to higher-speed ethernet technologies by simply swapping out optics, depending on the network's growth and demand.
With its plug-in module format, the Cisco WS-X4712-SFP+E= easily integrates into a compatible chassis, such as the Cisco Catalyst 4500E switch, providing scalability and flexibility for expanding your network infrastructure. It operates on a Layer 2 switching platform, ensuring that it is optimised for high-performance network traffic management. Equipped with hardware-based forwarding and 64 Gbps shared bandwidth access to the system, the line card delivers reliable and consistent network performance even under demanding conditions.
Overall, this line card supports critical network applications, featuring high density and flexible port options for organisations looking to optimise their network with intelligent traffic management and superior data throughput.
