C6800-48P-TX-XL delivers reliable Gigabit performance with excellent XL table capacity for high-density campus deployments.
Stable fabric-enabled module with consistent throughput across aggregation layers.
C6800-48P-TX-XL integrates seamlessly into our Catalyst 6800 core chassis.
Excellent copper switching module with dependable enterprise uptime.
Strong backbone stability under heavy traffic conditions.
Reliable enterprise performance with smooth scalability.
The C6800-48P-TX-XL is a fixed 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 line card for the Catalyst 6800/6500-E chassis with an integrated fabric-enabled Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC4XL) for high-performance switching.
This module provides 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, delivering wire-speed forwarding for all ports simultaneously.
Yes. The “-P” variant supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ with up to 30 W per port, subject to available power-supply capacity in the chassis.
Fabric-enabled DFC4XL integrates a forwarding ASIC on the line card, off-loading traffic from the supervisor engine to deliver low latency and up to 160 Gbps full-duplex slot bandwidth.
This module is supported in Cisco Catalyst 6800 and 6500-E chassis equipped with Supervisor Engine 2T, 2T+, or newer supervisor engines that support DFC4XL.
Power off the chassis or use hot-swap procedures, slide the module into an empty line-card slot until it latches, then power on. The module is hot-insertion and hot-removal capable.
The C6800-48P-TX-XL delivers up to 160 Gbps full-duplex slot switching capacity and maximum line-rate forwarding at 48 Gbps aggregate ingress and egress.
No. This fixed-port module provides only RJ-45 copper ports; fibre or SFP uplinks require a separate uplink or supervisor module with SFP/SFP+ cages.
The line card draws approximately 150 W (non-PoE). With full PoE+ load, power consumption can reach up to 1,600 W, depending on port usage and chassis power supplies.
It runs Cisco IOS XE 16.x or later. An IP Base license enables Layer 2/3 core features; the Network Advantage or DNA Advantage license unlocks advanced routing, fabric, and security services.
Operating temperature is 0 to 45 °C (32 to 113 °F) with 10–90 % non-condensing humidity. Storage temperature range is –40 to 70 °C (–40 to 158 °F).
Use Cisco IOS CLI commands (e.g., “show interface status”, “show platform hardware throughput level”) or integrate with SNMP/Cisco Prime for real-time monitoring and alerting.
The module is covered by Cisco’s Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty with next-business-day replacement and 90 days of technical support. Extended coverage is available via Cisco SMARTnet.
Yes. The module supports hot insertion and removal without disrupting traffic on other line cards, provided you follow Cisco’s hot-swap guidelines.
Ideal for high-density Gigabit access in campus distribution, enterprise wiring closets, and data-center top-of-rack deployments requiring PoE+ and advanced QoS/security.
Purchase Cisco genuine modules and spares through authorized Cisco channel partners or the Cisco Commerce website to ensure full warranty and technical support coverage.
