WS-C4507R-E is a seven-slot modular enterprise access chassis, not a complete fixed-port switch. The Catalyst 4500E chassis accommodates five switching modules and redundant supervisor engines; access connections, uplinks, routing features, and endpoint power depend on the components installed. A WS-X4597-E fan tray is included, but power supplies are ordered separately. This distinction matters when replacing a chassis while retaining existing switching hardware: the chassis PID alone does not specify a working port configuration or software entitlement. The discontinued WS-C4506-E provides the closest smaller comparison, retaining five switching-module positions but supporting only one supervisor engine. Specify the required hardware configuration rather than treating either chassis as a populated switch.
WS-C4507R-E price for new stock is $3,350.55. WS-C4507R-E refurb price is $472.50. WS-C4507R-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

240 Gbps backplane capacity provides the chassis interconnect, with 24 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth per switching-module slot; actual forwarding performance remains dependent on the installed supervisor configuration. WS-C4507R-E uses right-to-left chassis airflow, so cabinet placement must leave the side ventilation paths unobstructed. The WS-X4597-E assembly contains eight fans, and a failed individual fan requires replacement of the complete WS-X4597-E assembly. A populated Cisco Catalyst 4500E system supports CLI administration and Cisco Prime Infrastructure management; compatible software also provides a Device Manager web interface. No fixed access ports, installed uplinks, or chassis-only routing image accompany this hardware PID.
WS-C4507R-E is offered new sealed or certified refurbished; certified refurbished chassis are inspected and bench-tested, including module bay recognition and fan status. Specify the condition and an itemized component list on the PO, separating the chassis from the hardware required to complete the order. Cisco service ended April 30, 2018; ORM provides new hardware with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished hardware with up to 1 year, plus 30-day returns on every condition, with terms applying. POs are accepted, government buyers can use Net-30, and enterprise or volume orders can specify UK, EU, US or MEA stock and RMA with advance replacement.

Network architects in a global enterprise campus deploy the WS-C4507R-E Catalyst 4500 E-Series 7-Slot Chassis with dual Supervisor Engines and hot-swappable fans to deliver a redundant distribution layer. This configuration ensures 99.999% uptime, seamless failover, and reduces maintenance windows, enhancing network resilience and operational continuity.
A retail chain consolidates IP telephony, Wi-Fi access points, and surveillance cameras in regional stores using the WS-C4507R-E Catalyst 4500 E-Series 7-Slot Chassis equipped with modular PoE+ line cards. The solution supports up to 240 PoE+ ports in a compact footprint, streamlines remote provisioning, and lowers total cost of ownership.
IT teams in a mid-sized data center implement the WS-C4507R-E Catalyst 4500 E-Series 7-Slot Chassis with 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks to aggregate virtual server workloads at the network edge. The redundant supervisor capability allows non-stop software upgrades and on-demand capacity expansion, delivering high performance and agility for virtualization platforms.
An existing installation needing a matching chassis spare must preserve its supervisor placement: the primary position is slot 3 and the secondary position is slot 4. Inventory the retained components and their slot assignments before approving the spare, and specify the required chassis condition on the PO.
A staging bench can show a false power-supply output failure when the minimum component configuration is missing. A single-supply system requires a fan assembly and supervisor; a dual-supply system also requires an additional module. Specify the necessary test components before interpreting the power-supply status indication.
Cisco-supported hardware procurement
WS-C4507R-E passed its last date of support on April 30, 2018. C9407R is the current seven-slot migration chassis to specify instead.
WS-X4712-SFP+E line-card reuse
WS-X4712-SFP+E does not boot in this chassis. A retained WS-X4712-SFP+E therefore cannot form part of the proposed configuration; select a different supported line card.

WS-C4507R-E identifies a Catalyst 4500 E-Series seven-slot chassis with redundant-supervisor capability: 4500 identifies the family, 7 identifies the slot count, R indicates supervisor redundancy, and E identifies E-Series. The chassis includes a fan assembly but no power supply; the number does not describe seven Ethernet ports.
A populated Catalyst 4500E switch supports CLI management, Device Manager web management, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. CLI access includes SSH and Telnet, with availability and defaults depending on the software release. WS-C4507R-E is the chassis, so management requires an installed supervisor and its operating software.
WS-C4507R-E reached end of sale on April 16, 2013, and its last date of support was April 30, 2018. Cisco service has ended. The initial replacement, WS-C4507R+E, is also discontinued; the forward migration chain ends at the seven-slot Catalyst 9400 chassis C9407R.
New sealed and certified refurbished WS-C4507R-E chassis carry ORM coverage: new hardware has up to a 3-year extended warranty; certified refurbished hardware has up to 1 year. Returns are accepted for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original limited lifetime hardware warranty and service ended April 30, 2018.
The Catalyst 4500E chassis does not select a software feature set by itself; the supervisor configuration determines the software requirement. LAN Base, IP Base, and Enterprise Services are the feature-set choices. Software-activation licenses enable upgrades, while Cisco ONE provides another purchasing option. Specify software separately from the chassis.
WS-C4507R-E replaced WS-C4507R, whose end-of-sale date was July 31, 2010. Both product numbers identify seven-slot chassis with redundant-supervisor capability, but the E-Series identifier distinguishes the replacement hardware. For a legacy spare order, verify the installed chassis label rather than treating the two part numbers as interchangeable.
WS-C4507R-E does not include a power supply; a compatible supply must be specified separately. The chassis accepts one or two internal supplies. PWR-C45-1000AC is a data-only AC option, while PWR-C45-1300ACV supports integrated PoE power. Supply selection must match the complete installed hardware configuration rather than the chassis alone.
WS-C4507R-E supports redundant supervisor engines, whereas the discontinued WS-C4506-E supports only one supervisor engine. Both accommodate five switching modules, so the extra chassis slot serves supervisor redundancy rather than another line card. For legacy spares, the former suits redundant-supervisor installations and the latter matches single-supervisor installations.
WS-C4507R-E accommodates five switching modules, while the discontinued WS-C4510R-E accommodates eight. Both chassis are discontinued, so this comparison concerns matching legacy installations rather than choosing a current migration destination. The smaller chassis matches five-module configurations; the larger chassis matches installations requiring the additional switching-module positions.
C9407R is the Catalyst 9400 seven-slot migration chassis, while WS-C4507R-E is the Catalyst 4500E chassis whose Cisco support ended April 30, 2018. Both PIDs identify chassis rather than complete port configurations. C9407R suits a platform migration; WS-C4507R-E suits maintaining matching legacy equipment outside Cisco service.
