C6800IA-48TD is a managed, data-only Instant Access client with 48 Gigabit Ethernet access ports and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. The Layer 2 access hardware occupies a 1U rack-mount chassis and connects locally powered workstations, servers and other Ethernet devices. Unlike an independently managed access switch, the Cisco Catalyst 6800ia Series operates within a parent-controlled campus architecture. The copper interfaces support 10/100/1000 connections, while the uplink cages accept compatible SFP or SFP+ transceivers. The discontinued C6800IA-48FPD differs by providing PoE+ endpoint power. This configuration therefore addresses replacement and expansion requirements in retained Instant Access installations rather than a standalone switching requirement.
C6800IA-48TD price for new stock is $5,203.80. C6800IA-48TD refurb price is $168.05. C6800IA-48TD is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

47W internal power consumption at 120V AC and 60 Hz provides a reference for electrical planning; the maximum input rating is separately expressed as 0.049 kVA, not an equivalent wattage measurement. C6800IA-48TD contains 512 MB of DRAM, 128 MB of flash and 4 MB of egress buffering. Host traffic travels to the Instant Access parent, which makes the switching and forwarding decisions, so this client does not provide independent local routing. Cisco Catalyst Instant Access inherits the parent’s software capabilities rather than supplying a separately selectable access-switch feature tier. Energy-Efficient Ethernet reduces interface power during idle periods without dropping the link. The dedicated stacking connections remain separate from the Ethernet uplinks and host interfaces.
C6800IA-48TD is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM coverage leading because Cisco service ended April 30, 2023. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, stack adapter negotiation, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and required accessories on the purchase order: new units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns, with terms applying. For enterprise and volume orders, PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock and RMA across the UK, EU, US and MEA are available.

When preserving a campus built around Virtual Switching System, access-client replacement must fit the existing parent-controlled design rather than introduce independent access-switch configuration. Catalyst Instant Access supports Virtual Switching System and multichassis EtherChannel. Identify the retained parent pair and validate the existing attachment arrangement before specifying the replacement order.
When preparing replacement clients on a staging bench, simultaneous console connections can change which terminal receives input. The USB console takes precedence over the RJ-45 console, and Windows requires the Cisco USB console driver. Confirm the intended console connection and prepare the staging computer before scheduling acceptance testing.
When supplying clients for sites that may be unheated before commissioning, distinguish operating temperature from startup temperature. The minimum ambient temperature for a cold start is 0°C, even though operation extends below freezing. Check the commissioning environment and arrange suitable startup conditions before approving the site equipment order.
Standalone switching without an Instant Access parent
C6800IA-48TD performs no local packet forwarding. Host traffic requires an Instant Access parent to make forwarding decisions, so the client cannot replace an independent access switch.
PoE power for connected endpoints
C6800IA-48TD is the data-only configuration and supplies no endpoint PoE. Connected phones, access points or other powered devices require a separate power arrangement.
Two internal redundant power supplies
C6800IA-48TD has one built-in power supply, not two internal redundant modules. Its supported backup arrangement uses an external redundant power system instead.

C6800IA-48TD simplifies access layer management with reliable performance.
C6800IA-48TD identifies the Catalyst 6800 Instant Access data-only client configuration. C6800IA identifies the Instant Access family, 48 identifies the access-port count, and TD distinguishes the data-only configuration. The complete model has Gigabit copper access interfaces, two 10G SFP+ uplinks and software features inherited from its parent.
C6800IA-48TD is managed through its Instant Access parent, with local CLI console access through RJ-45 or USB mini-Type B connections and a dedicated Ethernet management interface. Treat parent administration and local service access as separate requirements when preparing the installation and selecting the equipment needed for commissioning.
C6800IA-48TD is discontinued, and Cisco support ended April 30, 2023. End of sale occurred April 30, 2018, followed by the end of software maintenance on April 30, 2019. Purchasing remaining stock or refurbished hardware does not restart those milestones or restore Cisco service eligibility.
ORM Systems offers C6800IA-48TD new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco’s original Limited Lifetime Warranty coverage ended April 30, 2023.
C6800IA-48TD inherits its software feature set from the Instant Access parent rather than carrying an independently selectable access-switch tier. Client hardware selection alone therefore does not establish the available network features. Confirm the retained parent’s software image and entitlements when preparing the complete equipment and software purchase order.
The Catalyst 6800ia data-only client accepts compatible SFP and SFP+ transceivers in its two 10G uplink cages. SFP-10G-SR= provides a multimode-fiber option, while SFP-10G-LR= provides a single-mode-fiber option. Match the selected transceiver to the installed fiber and the receiving interface before specifying the uplink components.
C6800IA-48TD supports five-member Instant Access stacks with compatible parent software, including Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)SY. FlexStack-Plus stacking hardware is integrated, and partners must belong to the Catalyst 6800ia family. Specify CAB-STK-E-0.5M, CAB-STK-E-1M or CAB-STK-E-3M according to the required spacing between members.
No, the Catalyst 6800ia data-only client does not make independent routing or local forwarding decisions. Host traffic is sent to the Instant Access parent for forwarding. Evaluate routing requirements against the parent’s capabilities and entitlements rather than treating the client as a separately licensed Layer 3 access switch.
Yes, C6800IA-48TD supports external power backup through PWR-RPS2300, but its internal supply is fixed and not internally redundant. The external arrangement uses CAB-RPS2300-E=, and PWR-RPS2300 excludes power supplies. Include the required external components explicitly when preparing a purchase order that requires backup power.
Yes, C6800IA-48TD has a full-width 1U rack-mount chassis measuring 444.5 mm wide and 279.4 mm deep. RCKMNT-1RU= is a compatible spare rack-mount kit. Confirm the mounting hardware included with the selected condition and allow space for power, uplink and stacking connections before completing the order.
C6800IA-48TD provides data-only access ports, while C6800IA-48FPD adds PoE+ with a shared 740W endpoint-power budget. Both models are discontinued Instant Access clients. The data-only model fits retained installations with separately powered endpoints; the PoE+ model addresses legacy replacement requirements where endpoint power must come from the access client.
C6800IA-48TD uses a single built-in power supply, while C6800IA-48FPDR supports two removable redundant power supplies. Both models are discontinued Instant Access clients. The former fits like-for-like replacement of fixed-supply clients; the latter concerns retained installations whose replacement requirement specifically includes internal power-supply redundancy.
