The Cisco Catalyst WS-C4500X-40X-ES is a fixed-configuration, 40-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch built on the Catalyst 4500-X platform with the Enterprise Services feature set. Purpose-built for enterprise campus core and aggregation layer deployments, this switch provides the density, throughput, and software capabilities required for demanding network environments.Equipped with 40 x SFP+ ports supporting 10GbE connectivity, this switch delivers high-bandwidth uplinks and server connections without the complexity or cost of a modular chassis. The Enterprise Services IOS-XE software image unlocks advanced routing and switching capabilities including MPLS, enhanced QoS, and comprehensive security features.
The front-to-back (F-to-B) airflow design aligns with standard data center hot-aisle/cold-aisle cooling architectures, making it well-suited for rack deployments where airflow direction matters. The Catalyst 4500-X platform also supports optional power supply and fan module redundancy for high-availability environments.
This Refurbished unit has been inspected and tested to ensure reliable operation, making it an excellent value for organizations looking to expand or upgrade their network infrastructure without the cost of new hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The Enterprise Services (ES) feature set on the Catalyst 4500-X platform enables advanced IOS-XE capabilities including enhanced Layer 3 routing protocols, MPLS support, advanced QoS, and comprehensive security features. This makes it suitable for core and aggregation roles that require more than basic switching functionality.
Front-to-back (F-to-B) airflow means that air enters through the front panel of the switch and exhausts out the rear. This matches the hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center cooling standard where cold air is supplied from the front of the rack, making this unit well-suited for properly cooled data center environments.
Yes, this Refurbished unit is covered by WhaleyComm's 90-day hardware warranty. For extended warranty or support options, please contact our sales team directly to discuss available coverage plans.
The 40 SFP+ ports support standard 10GbE optics including short-range (SR) and long-range (LR) fiber modules, as well as Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. Cisco-branded SFP+ transceivers are fully supported; compatibility with third-party optics should be verified against Cisco's compatibility matrix for this platform.
