CISCO WS-X6148-GE-TX, Cisco 6500 Ethernet module

Cisco 48-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet Switching Module WS-X6148-GE-TX

The 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T switching module WS-X6148-GE-TX provides 48 switched, 10/100/1000-Mbps autosensing, full- or half-duplex ports.  The module has 48 RJ-45 connectors for use with either Category 3, Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable. This module can be upgraded with an inline-power daughter card to support IP phones.

The WS-X6148-GE-TX is a popular Ethernet card used for IP telephony.  The Catalyst 6500 offers the high performance 48 port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module featuring an optional field-upgradable Ethernet in-line power daughter card that can support IP phones, IP video cameras and wireless access points using Cisco in line power capabilities or the forthcoming IEEE 802.3af inline power standard in the near future. These modules are compatible with all Catalyst 6500 Supervisors, chassis configurations, modules, as well as operating system software. To enhance operational manageability, the WS-X6148-GE-TX features an integrated Time Delay Reflectometer, allowing network managers to more easily monitor and isolate faults on their copper based wiring infrastructure.  Supporting Cisco's AVVID architecture, the WS-X6148-GE-TX is ideal for performance oriented wiring closet deployments using the Catalyst 6500's 256Gbps switch fabric. Now Enterprise customers can realize Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop and productivity enhancing IP communications, or can add inline power via a daughter card in the future, providing additional investment protection
