Cisco Catalyst 4500-X 32 Port 10G IP Base | Layer 3 Enterprise Switch — CON-L14OS-WSC3852S

Keep aggregation traffic moving with a switch built for dense 10 GbE connectivity and controlled airflow. The Cisco Catalyst 4500-X 32 Port 10G IP Base delivers 32 high-speed ports for campus core, aggregation, and high-bandwidth access designs where port density matters more than oversized chassis complexity. IP Base software support gives network teams the routing and segmentation tools needed for common enterprise Layer 3 deployments, while the front-to-back cooling path aligns with modern rack airflow standards. That makes this model a practical fit for mixed vendor racks, structured cabling environments, and facilities that standardize on front-to-back thermal design. This configuration JTFps without a power supply, which is useful when the deployment plan already includes centralized power design or replacement planning. For teams comparing against lower-density switches, the 4500-X class offers a stronger fit when the goal is to consolidate uplinks, reduce aggregation bottlenecks, and preserve headroom for growth without moving to a larger modular platform. Ideal For Campus aggregation for high-density 10 GbE access switches Core uplink termination in front-to-back airflow racks Layer 3 distribution in enterprise network closets Replacement of older aggregation switches with denser 10 GbE port counts Why This Product 1 Higher port density than smaller 10 GbE aggregation switches 2 Front-to-back airflow suits standardized rack cooling 3 IP Base supports common enterprise Layer 3 needs 4 No power supply included for custom power planning
