The WS-X6548-GE-TX is a Cisco Express Forwarding 256 module with 48 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports, with no PoE daughter card installed. It reaches the switch fabric through one 8-Gbps connection and also uses the 32-Gbps shared bus.
PoE is a field option: the WS-F6K-VPWR-GE= card adds Cisco prestandard only, and the WS-F6K-GE48-AF= card adds both Cisco prestandard and IEEE 802.3af. The 802.3af-equipped variant supplies 15.4 W per port.
Ports run in two blocks, 1 to 24 and 25 to 48, over Category 5, 5e or 6 cable to 328 ft (100 m). Frames up to 1518 bytes are accepted, with Tx 1p2q2t per 8 ports and Rx 1p2t. Every variant supports TDR. Distributed forwarding and pluggable transceivers are not supported.
Weight is 7.2 lb (3.3 kg). Module current is 2.98 A at 125.16 W, AC input is 156.45 W with 534.28 BTU/hour, and DC input is 168.23 W with 574.49 BTU/hour. It fits any slot in a Catalyst 6500 or 6500-E chassis, alongside Supervisor Engine 2, 32, 32 PISA, 720 or 720-10GE. A 48-port CEF720 alternative is the WS-X6748-GE-TX 48-port CEF720 module. Cisco interface cards are in Cisco interface cards.
