We rely on the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF for its speed and reliability. It supports high-demand environments and ensures smooth network operations.
The WS-X6148A-GE-45AF module is highly reliable. It provides fast, uninterrupted connectivity for all connected devices in our enterprise setup.
The WS-X6148A-GE-45AF is a Cisco Catalyst 6500 series 48-port Gigabit Ethernet line card with 802.3af PoE and enhanced PoE support and jumbo-frame capability.
It provides 48 auto-sensing RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates per port.
It supports IEEE 802.3af (up to 15.4 W per port) and Cisco enhanced PoE (up to 60 W per port with appropriate power supplies).
The total power budget is defined by the chassis power supply capacity (up to 6000 W in a fully populated Catalyst 6500) and can be allocated dynamically across the 48 ports.
Yes. It supports jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes to optimize large-packet throughput.
It is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engines SUP720, SUP720-3BXL, SUP2T and later supervisors with the required IOS image.
Each WS-X6148A-GE-45AF delivers up to 96 Gbps of bidirectional switching capacity per module.
You need the LAN Base or IP Services feature set licensed on the supervisor engine; no additional licenses are required per port for PoE.
Yes. Cisco Catalyst 6500 supports mixed line-card deployment as long as total power and slot-type requirements are met.
Slide the powered-off line card into an available 6500 slot, secure the captive screws, power on the chassis, and verify status via IOS show commands.
Operating temperature 0° to 40°C, humidity 10–90% non-condensing, compliant with NEBS Level 3 and RoHS.
Upgrade the supervisor’s IOS image; the line card runs the same firmware version as the installed supervisor engine.
It supports IEEE 802.1p/q, rate limiting, ACLs, DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and 802.1X port-based authentication.
Use IOS commands show power inline and show power inline detail to view real-time and historical PoE metrics per port.
