The WS-X6548-GE-45AF is a module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch. It is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet module that provides high-performance connectivity for wired devices in a network. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbps per port.
The module is designed to work with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch, which is a high-performance, modular switch that is often used in enterprise networks and large data centers. The module is inserted into a slot on the switch and provides additional ports for connecting devices.
The module is built to support high-performance networking features like Quality of Service (QoS) and VLANs, which allow for more efficient use of network bandwidth and better security. It also supports advanced security features like access control lists (ACLs) and port security, which can be used to restrict access to the network and protect against unauthorized access.
Additionally, this module support the following features:
- Jumbo frames: This feature allows for larger packet sizes, which can improve performance in some situations.
- Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP): These protocols allow multiple physical ports to be combined into a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy.
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): This feature reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity.
In summary, this part is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switch that provides 48 ports with advanced features and capabilities to meet the needs of large-scale enterprise networks and data centers.

About Refurbished Products
Different Types of Switches
Networking switches vary widely depending on the number of devices they can support, network bandwidth/speed, and form factor. Switches for small offices will have anything between 4 and 8 ports and can fit on a desk. For larger office network implementation, switches may have 24 ports, 48 ports, 96 ports, and 128 ports and are rack-mountable between 1U and 4U. Switches come in different types depending on the network speed and tasks they support. These include 40/100 Gbps, 10 Gigabit (up to 10000 Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (up to 1000 Mbps), Power over Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps).
Unmanaged Switches
The unmanaged switches offer fixed configurations on a plug-and-play basis. It is the most basic switch and there are a few choices in the market. These switches are affordable, but the basic features make them inappropriate for enterprise applications.
Managed Switches
The number of features and level of functionality improves with managed switches, making them ideal for enterprise and business applications. These switches are built with the command-line interface for ease of configuration. Equally, they support SNMP agents that come in handy when troubleshooting network issues.
The security on managed switches is better and will protect different types of traffic. Other features include support for virtual LANs, IP routing, and quality of service settings. Managed switches are more expensive compared to all other types of switches.
Smart Switches
Smart switches refer to switches that possess more features than those unmanaged switches but do not have the full features of managed switches. Smart switches are more cost-effective than managed switches.
Some of the limitations of the smart switches are a lack of telnet access support, Web GUIs, and a lack of many features for VLANs. They are affordable compared to a fully managed switch and are suitable for a smaller computer network.
Modular Switches
Modular switches allow the addition of expansion modules as the network expands. The expansion modules allow for more networked devices but are application-specific. They may include wireless access points, firewalls, or network analysis tools. The flexibility of a modular networking switch comes at a higher cost.
