Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500-X Series Switches

Sourcing mission-critical hardware shouldn't mean gambling on auction sites or automated shopping carts. You get direct access to dedicated specialists who answer the phone, confirm exact compatibility, and deliver project-ready pricing built around your deployment timeline.

The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series covers the modular 4500E chassis and the fixed Catalyst 4500-X. The E-Series chassis are the WS-C4503-E with three slots, the WS-C4506-E with six, the WS-C4507R+E with seven and the WS-C4510R+E with ten. Each has two power supply bays and one fan tray, with a 19-in. rack mount and a 23-in. option. The 1+1 supervisor redundancy is available on the WS-C4507R+E and WS-C4510R+E only, which reserve slots 3 and 4, or 5 and 6, for supervisors. The supervisors are WS-X45-Sup6-E, Sup6L-E, Sup7-E, Sup7L-E, Sup8-E and Sup8L-E. The Sup8-E needs Cisco IOS XE 3.3.0XO and the Sup8L-E needs Cisco IOS XE 3.8.1E.

E-Series line cards include the WS-X4748-UPOE+E, WS-X4748-RJ45V+E and WS-X4748-RJ45-E with 48 ports at 10/100/1000, the WS-X4712-SFP+E with twelve 10 Gigabit ports and the WS-X4606-X2-E with six X2 ports. The chassis also take the line cards of the Catalyst 4000 Series and the classic Catalyst 4500, such as the WS-X4548-RJ45V+ and WS-X4248-RJ45V. A chassis scales to 388 ports, with 24 or 48 Gbps per line-card slot depending on the supervisor.

Data-only power supplies are the PWR-C45-1000AC, PWR-C45-1400AC and the triple input PWR-C45-1400DC. Supplies with integrated PoE are the PWR-C45-1300ACV, PWR-C45-2800ACV, PWR-C45-4200ACV, PWR-C45-6000ACV, PWR-C45-9000ACV and PWR-C45-1400DC-P. The feature sets are LAN Base, IP Base and Enterprise Services, and the last two switch on through software activation licenses.

The Catalyst 4500-X is a fixed 10 Gigabit aggregation switch with one module slot. The WS-C4500X-16SFP+ and WS-C4500X-32SFP+ have front-to-back airflow, and the F models such as the WS-C4500X-F-32SFP+ run back to front. The 24-port and 40-port models are WS-C4500X-24X-IPB, WS-C4500X-24X-ES and WS-C4500X-40X-ES. The C4KX-NM-8SFP+ module adds eight SFP+ ports, and the switch takes two 750 W AC or DC supplies. It needs Cisco IOS XE 3.3.0SG, or 3.4.0SG for a two-switch VSS pair. The Cisco 3850 and Cisco 9400 pages cover other Catalyst switches, and the full range is under networking. Switches also sit in the Cisco switch category.
