The WS-X4606-X2-E is a Catalyst 4500E line card with up to six 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on X2 optics. With TwinGig Converter Modules the same card can instead provide up to twelve Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, and the converters must be used in groups of three, on ports 1 to 3 or ports 4 to 6.
Bandwidth to the slot is 24 Gbps. Spread across six 10 Gigabit ports that is a 2.5:1 oversubscription ratio, while with SFP optics through TwinGig it is 1:1. Layer 2 to 4 jumbo frames of up to 9216 bytes are supported.
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(40)SG or later is needed. As an E-Series card it requires an E-Series chassis. Maximum rated power is 50 W and the rated MTBF is 535,717 hours.
The card is also sold as the WS-X4606-X2-E= spare.
For a 48-port copper alternative in the same E-Series family, see WS-X4748-RJ45-E.
