The Cisco Express Forwarding 256 Interface Module WS-X6548-GE-45AF= is a high-performance expansion module designed for use with Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches. It provides connectivity to a total of 48 gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling robust, scalable networking solutions. Each port supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the module to deliver power to connected devices such as IP phones and wireless access points without the need for separate power cabling. This PoE capability contributes to a streamlined and efficient network setup, reducing cabling complexity.
The WS-X6548-GE-45AF= module is engineered to interface seamlessly with the Cisco Catalyst system through Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) technology. CEF accelerates packet forwarding, optimizing network performance and ensuring rapid data transmission across the network infrastructure. This module is ideal for businesses that require reliable, high-speed data transfers in environments with heavy network traffic. With 256 Gbps backplane bandwidth, this interface offers ample processing power to manage high volumes of traffic with minimal latency issues.
The addition of the PoE daughter card enhances the flexibility of this module, making it a versatile choice for networks requiring both data and power on the same gigabit interface. The daughter card adheres to the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. This makes WS-X6548-GE-45AF= an excellent option for large-scale deployments of power-hungry network endpoints such as surveillance cameras and VoIP phones.
