Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-Slot Chassis | Enterprise Switch Chassis — CON-SSSNT-P8EK90E2

Anchor campus aggregation and distribution on a chassis built for modular scale. The Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-slot chassis provides space for high-density line cards, including 48-port Gigabit Ethernet modules, while preserving the operational discipline that large networks require. With fan support included and no power supplies installed, it gives architects the freedom to align power redundancy, capacity, and maintenance strategy to the site design. This platform is suited to organizations that value predictable lifecycle management over frequent forklift upgrades. The chassis form factor supports phased expansion, allowing teams to add capability as port demand grows without replacing the entire switching layer. That makes it a practical fit for enterprise campuses, aggregation closets, and network cores where uptime, serviceability, and consistent performance matter more than low-entry pricing. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, the 4500E chassis remains a familiar foundation for resilient access and distribution designs. It is a hardware platform intended to support critical network services with the mechanical and thermal structure required for sustained operation. Ideal For Campus distribution layer requiring modular port growth Network core refresh where chassis reuse reduces migration scope Aggregation closet deployments with planned power provisioning Enterprise switching environments standardizing on Cisco Catalyst Why This Product 1 7-slot chassis supports modular expansion instead of fixed-port limits 2 No power supplies included for site-specific power design 3 Fan support included for chassis thermal management 4 Built for enterprise campus and aggregation roles
