Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-Slot Chassis

Build a resilient campus switching core with a 7-slot Catalyst 4500E chassis designed for high-density line cards and modular growth. This chassis ships without power supplies, giving infrastructure teams flexibility to match power architecture to the deployment. It fits environments that need controlled expansion, serviceability, and long-term platform stability. Scale campus switching capacity with a 7-slot chassis for modular line-card expansion Support high-density access aggregation using 48-port Gigabit Ethernet slot compatibility Preserve deployment flexibility with a chassis shipped without power supplies Maintain thermal stability via integrated fan support Simplify phased upgrades through a modular chassis architecture Fit enterprise network cores with a platform designed for long service life Align power planning to site requirements using a no-PS configuration Reduce replacement scope by expanding within the existing chassis footprint Key Features 7-slot modular chassis Supports 48-port Gigabit Ethernet line cards Fan included; no power supplies installed Cisco Catalyst 4500E platform Enterprise campus switching chassis Designed for modular network expansion FAQ What is included with this chassis? This configuration includes the 7-slot chassis and fan support. Power supplies are not included. What kind of deployment is this chassis suited for? It is suited for enterprise campus, aggregation, and core switching deployments that need modular line-card growth. Why choose a chassis instead of a fixed-port switch? A chassis lets teams expand capacity over time by adding line cards, which can reduce replacement scope during network growth. Does this chassis support high-density port modules? Yes. The platform is described for 48-port Gigabit Ethernet slot use, making it appropriate for high-density switching designs.
