Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series

High performance midrange modular switches for unified communications
designed for high resiliency and simplified operations for Enterprise access layer
and mid-market collapsed Core and Distribution layer.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series is a medium-density modular switch delivering
robust intelligent services for unified communication deployments. The simple
centralized architecture, media flexibility, and scalability of the Catalyst 4500 Series
delivers maximum investment protection with backward and forward compatibility
across several generations dating back to 1999, maximizing return on investment
while minimizing recurring operational expenses.
The Catalyst 4500 Series extends intelligence, resiliency and operational simplicity
to the network edge (wiring closet) with intelligent network services, including
sophisticated quality of service (QoS), predictable performance, advanced security,
up to 30 watts of PoE plus compatible and comprehensive management features.
The Catalyst 4500 series delivers the highest levels of integrated resiliency in both
hardware and software minimizing costly downtime for both planned and
unplanned network outages helping maximizing workforce productivity.
The Catalyst 4500 Series includes four chassis: the Catalyst 4510R-E (10 slots),
the Catalyst 4507R-E (seven slots), Catalyst 4506-E (six slots), and Catalyst 4503-E
(three slots). A broad selection of supervisor engines meet the needs of networks of
all sizes deliver up to 320 Gbps of Layer 2–4 switching. The series supports an
extensive set of line cards, providing up to 384 10/100 or 10/100/1000 ports with
integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE). The series also supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE) uplink ports and line cards for high-density Gigabit Ethernet-to-the-desk as
well as high bandwidth switch-to-switch campus connectivity.
