The WS-X6148-RJ-45 is the Cisco Catalyst 6500 48-port 10/100 RJ-45 base module, supplied without daughter cards. In the field it takes the WS-F6K-VPWR-GE= card for Cisco prestandard PoE only, or the WS-F6K-GE48-AF= card for both Cisco prestandard and IEEE 802.3af.
Its 48 ports are laid out in two ranges (1 to 24 and 25 to 48) on a top and bottom row, odd ports on top. Buffering is 1 MB per 8 ports, the maximum frame is 8092 bytes, and the queues are 2 egress and 1 ingress, with 2 thresholds per egress queue and 4 per ingress queue.
The base module weighs 6.8 lb (3.08 kg). Current is 2.39 A at 100.38 W. Heat output is 428.50 BTU/hour on AC input of 125.48 W and 460.75 BTU/hour on DC input of 134.92 W.
Any slot in a Catalyst 6500 or 6500-E chassis can hold it, with a 1.2:1 oversubscription rate onto the 32-Gbps shared bus. Cable reach is 328 ft (100 m). The WS-X6748-GE-TX 48-port module is a 48-port gigabit option, and more are in Cisco switches.
