The WS-X6748-SFP-RF is a Cisco expansion module designed to enhance network scalability by offering up to 48 ports. This module, part of the Catalyst 6500 series, allows the integration of fibre optic networks via its Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, making it ideal for high-density network environments. The module supports multiple SFP transceiver types, including both single-mode and multi-mode fibres, providing flexibility depending on the required network distance and type.
It comes equipped with 48 SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing faster data transmission rates than traditional Ethernet ports. These ports are hot-swappable, ensuring not only rapid scaling of the network without downtime, but also easier maintenance and upgrades. In terms of power efficiency, the WS-X6748-SFP-RF is designed to work within Cisco's energy-efficient platforms, reducing overall power consumption seen in dense networking infrastructure.
The device is compatible with Cisco's Supervisor Engines, such as SUP720 and SUP32, providing advanced traffic management and enhanced switching performance across the network. This module is specifically designed for the refurbishment market; denoted by the 'RF' suffix, meaning it undergoes the re-manufacturing process to meet quality standards and performance benchmarks expected from new Cisco hardware.
The WS-X6748-SFP-RF is best suited for data centre environments, corporate networks, or service providers looking to enhance their network’s capacity with high port density. In addition, the module is seamless in its integration with Cisco’s IOS (Internetwork Operating System), enabling advanced routing, security policies, and redundancy options for critical business tasks.
