WS-X4612-SFP-E=
Model:
Catalyst 4500 Series Switch
Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Data Networking Model Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switch is a midrange modular platform for unified communications. It is designed for high resiliency, simplified operations, and maximum investment protection with backward and forward compatibility across generations. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Switch extends a comprehensive set of intelligent network services to the network edge (the wiring closet), helping businesses of all sizes deploy secure, resilient, and scalable unified data, voice, and video networks.
Cisco WS-X4612-SFP-E= Network Switch Modules Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 12-port E-Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet line card (2.5:1 oversubscribed) can be deployed for high-performance and high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation in the campus and in small to medium-sized networks as a core switch. The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series 12-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet line card supports standard Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) optics. The ports can be used interchangeably as Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet to support phased migration from Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
