The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series has flexible interface types and port densities that allow
network configurations to be mixed and matched to meet the specific needs of the
organizations network.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series Switch is a fixed aggregation platform that provides
flexibility through two versions of base switches along with optional uplink module. Both
the 32- and 16-port versions can be configured with optional network modules and offer
similar features. The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) interface supports both
10 Gigabit Ethernet and 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing upgrades to 10 Gigabit
Ethernet when organizational demands change. The uplink module is hot swappable.
Deployment Options include:
32 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet Port switch with optional Small Form-Factor Pluggable
Plus (SFP+) models
16 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet Port switch with optional Small Form-Factor Pluggable
Plus (SFP+) models
8 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ removable uplink module
Dual-redundant AC/DC power supply and five field-replaceable unit (FRU) fans
The figure below shows the Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series Switch with and without the
