Cisco CAT4500 E-Series 6-Slot Chassis, Fan, No PS | Enterprise Rack — CON-SNT-WS296XPL

Maintain network availability with a modular chassis built for enterprise switching environments that need room to grow. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series 6-slot chassis gives infrastructure teams a flexible foundation for campus aggregation, distribution, or core edge deployments where uptime and serviceability matter. Its 6-slot architecture supports a modular design approach, letting teams align line cards and supervisor capabilities to current requirements while preserving a path for future expansion. The included fan assembly helps support thermal management in dense rack environments, and the no-power-supply configuration gives procurement teams the freedom to match the chassis with the right redundant or capacity-specific power design. For organizations standardizing on Cisco switching, this chassis is a practical platform for extending the life of an existing architecture without overcommitting to a fixed configuration. It is suited to environments where network change is expected, rack space is valuable, and operational control matters more than bundled commodity hardware. Ideal For Campus distribution switching where modular expansion is required Aggregation layer deployments that need chassis-based serviceability Network refresh projects that reuse or specify separate power infrastructure Enterprise rack builds standardizing on Cisco Catalyst switching Why This Product 1 Modular 6-slot chassis versus fixed-configuration switching 2 Fan included for thermal support versus bare chassis options 3 No power supply included for custom power planning 4 Cisco Catalyst platform for enterprise network standardization
