Cisco Catalyst 4948 Switch L3 managed 48 x 10/100/1000 + 4 x shared SFP rack-mountable Network Switch

Cisco Catalyst 4948 WS-C4948-S-RF

The Cisco Catalyst 4948 (WS-C4948-S-RF) is a managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch from Cisco, part of the Catalyst 4900 Series, built for distribution and core roles in medium and large enterprise networks. It belongs to a family built for top-of-rack and aggregation switching.

Its port layout is 48 x 10/100/1000, 4 x shared SFP, giving you a clear, flexible mix of connections. Modular optical slots give you flexible fiber uplinks for longer distances and electrical isolation. Standards compliance means it integrates with existing routers, servers and client devices, whatever the vendor. Optical links resist electrical noise and reach far beyond copper limits, which is useful between buildings.

Managed switching provides the visibility and control that business networks need as they grow. With Layer 3 features it can route traffic between subnets locally for a more efficient, scalable design. Management is based on Cisco IOS, a platform familiar to network engineers. Applying vendor firmware updates, where offered, is good practice for security and reliability. Diagnostic features help engineers trace faults and analyze traffic without extra hardware. Switching sends each frame only where it needs to go, which keeps the network efficient.

Its rack-mountable form factor fits neatly into equipment rooms, cabinets or workspaces. Condition: Cisco Certified Refurbished (-RF). It creates a tidy, central hub for all wired devices in the area it serves. Adding this unit expands capacity without a costly network redesign. The WS-C4948-S-RF part number makes it easy to source identical units for future expansion. Bandwidth and routing at the distribution layer are key to a scalable design. Choose the Cisco WS-C4948-S-RF when you need Cisco Catalyst 4900 switching you can rely on.
