The WS-X6548-RJ-45 is a 48-port 10/100 RJ-45 interface module of the Cisco Express Forwarding 256 class for Catalyst 6500 chassis. Ports reach 100 m over Category 5 cable, and the module is listed for server farm use. Its ports run at 10 or 100 Mbps and not at gigabit speed.
It connects to the switch fabric through one 8-Gbps channel and also to the 32-Gbps shared bus. Each port has a 1.2 MB buffer, queues are Tx-1p3q1t and Rx-1p1q, and frame size is up to 1518 bytes.
It can be installed in any slot of any Catalyst 6500 chassis. The module can be upgraded in the field to distributed forwarding by adding a distributed forwarding card. The classic gigabit module instead has a 2.67 MB buffer per port, 9216-byte frames and the shared bus as its only connection.
Cisco announced end-of-sale on August 1, 2007; the end-of-sale date is January 30, 2008 and the last date of support is January 31, 2013. The spare is sold as WS-X6548-RJ-45=.
The 48-port gigabit WS-X6748-GE-TX is the announced replacement.
Other modules are listed in Cisco modules.
