The Cisco 48-Port 1 Gigabit Copper Ethernet Module with DFC4XL (Part Number: WS-X6848-TX-2TXL=) is a high-performance expansion module designed for deployment in Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches. This module comes with 48 copper-based Ethernet ports, each capable of delivering data transfer speeds of up to 1Gbps. The ports support IEEE 802.3u and 802.3ab standards, ensuring reliable and fast Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for numerous wired devices.
One of the standout features of this module is that it includes a DFC4XL (Distributed Forwarding Card). This card significantly enhances the switching performance by offloading traffic processing from the main CPU of the switch, which helps in scaling the system more efficiently. With the DFC4XL, you can expect higher throughput and better performance, especially for installations requiring intensive traffic flow between devices.
The module is designed to work with RJ-45 connectors, making it compatible with standard twisted-pair copper cabling, which is widely used in enterprise environments. The use of copper wiring ensures easy integration into existing network infrastructures without the need for special cabling requirements. The module supports auto-negotiation for speed and duplex, providing flexibility during setup and deployment.
This product is ideal for expanding network capacity in data centres, large enterprises, or campus networks. It’s designed with scalability in mind, enabling organisations to future-proof and meet growing network demands, while leveraging the robust features of the Catalyst 6500 platform. With the inclusion of large-scale forwarding capabilities, this module is more than capable of handling significant workloads in high-performance environments.
