WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ is a back-to-front-airflow Layer 3 aggregation switch with 16 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports, IP Base software and a rack-mount 1U chassis. The Catalyst 4500-X accepts 1G SFP interfaces in those cages and supports optional expansion through C4KX-NM-8SFP+. The discontinued WS-C4500X-16SFP+ uses front-to-back airflow instead, making rack airflow direction the distinction between these two 16-port configurations.
WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ price for new stock is $6,768.29. WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ refurb price is $341.25. WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

800 Gbps switching capacity and 250 Mpps forwarding support campus aggregation traffic. WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ provides 55000 MAC entries for Layer 2 forwarding. OSPF supports 1000 dynamically learned routes under IP Base, alongside EIGRP Stub and RIPv1/v2; BGP and IS-IS require Enterprise Services. 400W maximum system consumption provides the upper operating figure for power planning, rather than the installed supply’s 750W rating.
ORM supplies WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ in new sealed and certified refurbished condition. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration is wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Specify condition, quantity and required accessories on the purchase order; PO accepted and Net-30 for government support enterprise and volume orders.

WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ identifies a Catalyst 4500-X configuration: WS-C4500X is the family prefix, F indicates back-to-front cooling, 16 identifies the port count, and SFP+ identifies the 10G interfaces. IP Base is included; the power supply is excluded.
The Catalyst 4500-X supports CLI access through its RJ-45 console or Telnet, device manager, Cisco Network Assistant and SNMP management. A dedicated Ethernet management interface provides network access; initial setup requires addressing information and credentials.
IP Base is included with WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+; Enterprise Services requires software activation. Cisco ONE Software for Access Switching was also offered for this family. Verify the delivered license entitlement before ordering.
Yes, WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ supports OSPF for routed access, EIGRP Stub and RIPv1/v2 under IP Base. OSPF is limited to 1000 dynamically learned routes; BGP, IS-IS and full EIGRP require Enterprise Services.
No, WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ excludes the power supply. C4KX-PWR-750AC-F and C4KX-PWR-750DC-F match its back-to-front airflow. The chassis accepts two supplies, including a mixed AC/DC configuration, with redundancy requiring separately ordered hardware.
Yes, WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ reached end of sale on October 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2025. No direct replacement PID is assigned to this back-to-front model. Cisco service has ended.
WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ uses back-to-front cooling; WS-C4500X-16SFP+ uses front-to-back cooling. Both are discontinued. The former matches reverse-airflow rack positions, while the latter matches rack positions requiring front-to-back airflow.
WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ has 16 fixed interfaces, whereas WS-C4500X-F-32SFP+ has 32. Both are discontinued. The 16-port configuration suits lower connection counts; the 32-port configuration accommodates more fixed fiber connections.
WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ includes IP Base, while WS-C4500X-24X-ES includes Enterprise Services. Both are discontinued. IP Base suits limited routing requirements; Enterprise Services supports enhanced routing protocols unavailable in the included IP Base entitlement.
ORM offers WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+ 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 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco’s platform limited lifetime hardware warranty ended with Cisco support on October 31, 2025.
