Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-Slot Chassis, No PS | Enterprise Switching — CON-PSUT-C1008PLG

Build the switching core around a chassis that gives you room to grow. The Cisco Catalyst 4500E 7-slot chassis is designed for environments that need modular expansion, high slot bandwidth, and a deployment model that lets teams choose the right power configuration for the site. With support for 48 Gbps per slot, it is built for campus and aggregation layers where oversubscription and chassis constraints can quickly become bottlenecks. This chassis is a strong fit for organizations standardizing on the Catalyst 4500E family and looking for a platform that can scale with changing access, distribution, and service requirements. The fan support helps maintain thermal stability in dense network closets and equipment rooms, while the no-power-supply configuration gives procurement and engineering teams flexibility to align the chassis with existing power strategy. For buyers comparing lower-cost alternatives, the difference is architectural control. A chassis like this is not just a frame — it is the foundation for a longer-lived switching investment, where slot capacity, serviceability, and platform consistency matter more than the lowest initial price. That makes it a practical choice for enterprise networks that need predictable expansion and a cleaner path for future module additions. Ideal For Campus distribution switching in enterprise networks Aggregation-layer deployments requiring modular expansion Network refresh projects standardizing on Catalyst 4500E Sites that need chassis capacity without bundled power supplies Why This Product 1 7-slot chassis for modular growth 2 48 Gbps per slot for higher throughput planning 3 Fan included for thermal management 4 No power supply for flexible deployment design
