The CISCO WS-X6548-GE-45AF is a high-density, 48-port Gigabit Ethernet module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches, offering both IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and Cisco prestandard PoE support on all ports. This module is engineered to meet the increasing demands of high-performance, power-dependent network applications such as IP telephony, wireless access points, and IP surveillance cameras, providing the convenience of centralized power distribution across the network. With its ability to deliver up to 15.4 Watts of power per port to connected devices, it greatly simplifies the network infrastructure by reducing cable clutter and power supply requirements. Additionally, it supports high-speed data connectivity and advanced QoS, security, and multicast features, making it an ideal choice for enterprise and service provider environments looking to optimize their network performance and reliability while expanding their PoE device deployments.
