These features make the WS-X6748-SFP switch suitable for a variety of networking environments, from small to large enterprises.

The model Cisco Catalyst 6000 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Module is compliant with several standards, including IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3z.

IEEE 802.3 is a standard that specifies the physical layer and Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the Ethernet protocol. It defines the physical characteristics of the Ethernet cable and the format of the data that is transmitted over the cable. The WS-X6748-SFP module is compliant with IEEE 802.3, which means it can be used to connect devices that conform to the standard.

IEEE 802.3z is a standard that defines the Gigabit Ethernet protocol. It specifies the physical layer and MAC layer for Gigabit Ethernet, which is a faster version of Ethernet that supports data rates of 1 Gbps. This module is compliant with IEEE 802.3z, which means it can be used to connect devices that conform to the standard.

Additionally, the model is also compliant with other standards such as IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1Q, and IEEE 802.3ad. IEEE 802.1p is a standard that defines the Quality of Service (QoS) for Ethernet networks, allowing for the prioritization of different types of traffic. IEEE 802.1Q is a standard that defines Virtual LANs (VLANs), which can be used to segment a network into different virtual networks. IEEE 802.3ad is a standard that defines Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which allows for the bundling of multiple physical links into a single logical link, providing increased bandwidth and improved reliability.
