Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-Slot Chassis CON-SSSNC-C6880XCA | Enterprise — CON-SSSNC-C6880XCA

Support a modular network core with the Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-slot chassis. This platform is built for environments where slot availability, serviceability, and controlled expansion matter more than fixed-port convenience. It gives infrastructure teams a chassis foundation that can be populated according to current requirements while leaving room for future growth. The 7-slot design is well suited to enterprise switching programs that need to separate chassis selection from line-card planning. With a fan included and no power supply, this configuration is especially relevant for organizations that already standardize on specific power modules or want to source them separately to match redundancy and capacity targets. For procurement teams, the value is in flexibility and lifecycle control. A chassis-based design can extend the useful life of the switching platform, simplify phased upgrades, and support more deliberate capital planning. In dense campus, distribution, or core environments, that matters more than a lower-cost fixed switch when uptime, expansion, and operational consistency are on the line. Ideal For Enterprise core switching where modular expansion is required Campus distribution deployments with planned line-card growth Replacement chassis for Cisco-standardized switching environments Projects that source power supplies separately to match redundancy policy Why This Product 1 Modular chassis design offers more expansion flexibility than fixed-port switches 2 No power supply included for tailored power planning 3 Included fan supports chassis cooling requirements 4 7 slots provide room for phased line-card deployment
