Cisco WS-X4748-12X48U+E – Catalyst 4500E 48-Port UPoE + 12-Port 10G Switch Module
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
The Cisco WS-X4748-12X48U+E is a high-density, high-power line card designed for the Cisco Catalyst 4500E series modular chassis. This module delivers 48 x Universal PoE (UPoE) downlink ports and 12 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, making it ideal for enterprise environments that demand maximum port density, high-bandwidth uplinks, and robust power delivery for demanding endpoints such as IP phones, wireless access points, video surveillance cameras, and IoT devices.
UPoE technology supports up to 60W per port, doubling the power budget of standard PoE+ deployments. This enables next-generation powered devices that require higher wattage without sacrificing port density or chassis real estate.
