The WS-X6148-21AF is a Cisco Catalyst 6500 48-port 10/100 RJ-21 module. A WS-F6K-GE48-AF IEEE 802.3af PoE daughter card is already fitted at the factory, and that card is not field upgradeable. PoE reaches up to 15.4 W per port.
Cabling comes in on four RJ-21 connectors, split as ports 1 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36 and 37 to 48, over Category 5, 5e or 6 UTP/STP up to 328 ft (100 m). Each port has 128 KB of buffer, and frames of up to 8092 bytes are accepted.
Power figures are 2.57 A of module current and 107.94 W of module power. AC-input power is 134.93 W with 460.77 BTU/hour of heat, and DC-input power is 145.08 W with 495.45 BTU/hour. Pluggable transceivers are not supported.
The module connects to the 32-Gbps shared bus at a 1.2:1 oversubscription rate and works in any slot of a Catalyst 6500 or 6500-E chassis. Pair it with a WS-C6509-E 9-slot chassis. Related 10/100 cards are in the Cisco switches collection.
