Catalyst 4500 Chassis
The Classic and E-Series Catalyst 4500 chassis come in four sizes: ten-slot, seven-slot, six-slot, and three-slot.
Catalyst 4500 Supervisor
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 is capable of supporting 1+1 supervisor-engine redundancy in the "R" models (4510R+E, 4507R+E, 4510R-E, 4510R, 4507R).
Catalyst 4500 Line Cards
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series offers two classes of line cards: classic and E-Series. Classic line cards provide 6 gigabits of switching capacity per slot. E-Series line cards increase the per slot switching capacity to 24 gigabits or 48 gigabits depending on the line card model and supervisor.
Catalyst 4500 power supplies
The 4500 is able to deliver high densities of Power over Ethernet across the chassis. Due to this, power supplies are a key element of configuration. The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series offers AC power with several internal supplies: 1000W (data only), 1400W (data only), 1300W (data and PoE), 2800W (data and PoE), 4200W (data and PoE), and 6000W (data and PoE).
The Cisco Catalyst 4500 E-Series has two DC power options—one is optimized for data-only deployments in service provider central offices (part number PWR-C45-1400DC), and the other is used for high-power PoE deployments (PWR-C45-1400DC-P).
Catalyst 4500 operating systems
The Catalyst 4500 currently supports Cisco IOS Operating System.
