The WS-X6148-FE-SFP is a 48-port 100Base-X line card for the Catalyst 6500 series that requires Cisco SFP transceivers for fiber connectivity.
This module provides 48 independent 100Base-X ports, each running at up to 100 Mbps full-duplex over fiber using SFPs.
It supports Cisco 100Base-X SFPs, including 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-BX, and other Cisco-approved 100Base-X optics.
The module is compatible with Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engines 720, 2T, 32GB, and 3845, provided they run Cisco IOS with LAN switching feature sets enabled.
When installed, it contributes up to 9.6 Gbps of full-duplex switching capacity per module within the Catalyst 6500 chassis.
The WS-X6148-FE-SFP consumes approximately 83 W of power under full load, subject to SFP type and chassis power-budget constraints.
Yes. It requires Cisco IOS Catalyst release 12.2(33)SXH or later with LAN Base, IP Services, or Advanced Enterprise Services feature sets.
Power down the chassis, insert the module into an available slot, secure with retention screws, then power on and verify module initialization via CLI.
Yes. Cisco supports heterogeneous modules in the same chassis, provided overall slot power, cooling, and supervisor compatibility requirements are met.
Common use cases include enterprise access aggregation, data center top-of-rack fiber connectivity, campus distribution, and service provider edge deployments.
Yes. It leverages Catalyst 6500 QoS, policing, marking, and hardware-accelerated ACLs for granular traffic management at line rate.
