Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-Slot Chassis | Enterprise Modular Switching — CON-SSSNE-FPR4125N

Support critical campus and aggregation workloads with a Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-slot chassis designed for modular growth. This chassis gives network teams a flexible foundation for building a switching platform around their own power and line-card requirements, rather than paying for bundled components they may not need. The 48 Gbps-per-slot architecture is suited to environments that need predictable throughput across multiple service modules, while the included fan assembly helps maintain thermal performance in dense rack deployments. Because this configuration JTFps without power supplies, it is a strong fit for standardized infrastructure programs where power redundancy, capacity, and sourcing are defined separately. That separation can simplify procurement and make it easier to align the chassis with existing spare strategies, site power budgets, or approved PSU inventories. For organizations extending the life of a campus switching standard, the 7-slot form factor provides room to scale without forcing a platform change. Choose this chassis when you need a proven modular base for enterprise switching and want control over the final system build. It is a practical fit for teams that value architecture consistency, serviceability, and deployment flexibility over fixed, all-in-one bundles. Ideal For Campus distribution layer deployments requiring modular switching capacity Aggregation builds where power supplies are sourced separately Enterprise refresh programs standardizing on Catalyst 4500E chassis Network expansions that need slot-based growth without platform replacement Why This Product 1 Offers 7 slots for modular expansion instead of fixed-port switching 2 Provides 48 Gbps per slot for higher-capacity line-card deployments 3 JTFps without a power supply for custom power planning 4 Includes fan support for thermal management in rack environments
