The Cisco WS-X6848-SFP-2TXL= is a high-performance 48-Port 1 Gigabit SFP Fiber Ethernet Module designed for use within the Cisco 6500 series switches. This expansion module provides 48 ports of 1 Gigabit Ethernet fiber connectivity using SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceivers, enabling high-speed, reliable network communication. It supports a variety of fibre connectivity options, such as multimode and single-mode fibre, giving flexibility in deployment scenarios.
One of the standout features of the WS-X6848-SFP-2TXL= module is its inclusion of the DFC4XL (Distributed Forwarding Card), which enhances the module's performance by enabling distributed forwarding capability. This allows for local switching and forwarding at the line card level rather than relying solely on the system's supervisor engine, thus improving overall throughput. The DFC4XL card is engineered with high processing power, making it an excellent choice for environments such as data centres or other performance-demanding applications.
The WS-X6848-SFP-2TXL= is optimised for scalability and performance, which is further enhanced with additional functionality like jumbo frame support for handling larger Ethernet frames. The module’s architecture allows for reduced latency and accelerated network performance. It is well-suited for large enterprises or high-bandwidth applications that require substantial amounts of data to be transported quickly and efficiently.
This expansion module is capable of supporting both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching depending on the configuration of the parent chassis and supervisor engine. Layer 3 functionality is particularly useful when deploying complex routed network environments, offering advanced routing protocols to ensure the smooth operation of various enterprise-level networks.
