Cisco Catalyst 4500-X 32 Port 10G IP Base | Front-to-Back, Enterprise — CON-OS-UCSAE18D

Move more traffic through the aggregation layer without adding unnecessary complexity. The Cisco Catalyst 4500-X 32 Port 10G IP Base is designed for environments that need dense 10 Gigabit connectivity, managed control, and a cooling path that matches front-to-back rack airflow. That makes it a practical fit for data center edge, campus core, and distribution roles where thermal planning and port density both matter. With 32 10G ports, this switch supports high-bandwidth uplinks and aggregation designs that need more headroom than standard access hardware can provide. IP Base gives infrastructure teams the management foundation for routed and segmented network designs while keeping the feature set aligned to common enterprise requirements. The no power-supply configuration is useful when the deployment plan already includes a separate power strategy or when the platform is being integrated into a larger system design. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, this model delivers the port density and airflow profile needed for disciplined, high-performance network builds. Ideal For Data center edge aggregation with 10G uplinks Campus distribution layers requiring dense high-speed ports Rack environments with front-to-back cooling standards Network builds where power provisioning is handled separately Why This Product 1 32 10G ports for aggregation and uplink density 2 Front-to-back airflow for predictable rack cooling 3 Managed Layer 3 switching with IP Base 4 No power supply for custom power planning
