Cisco Catalyst 6800ia Series (C6800IA-48FPDR) 48 Ports Managed Network Switch

Cisco Catalyst 6800ia C6800IA-48FPDR

Upgrade your network with the Cisco Catalyst 6800ia (C6800IA-48FPDR), a 48-port managed switch designed for aggregation and core layers that carry traffic between access switches, servers and the network edge.

It offers 48 ports, enough to connect workstations, servers, phones, access points and other network devices. Standards-based Ethernet ensures interoperability with routers, firewalls, servers and endpoints from other vendors. A wired connection delivers steadier speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi for fixed devices. Dense port counts help consolidate the wiring closet and reduce the number of switches to maintain.

Managed switching provides the visibility and control that business networks need as they grow. Management is based on Cisco IOS, a platform familiar to network engineers. Quality of Service settings prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as voice and video conferencing. Port mirroring and diagnostic tools make troubleshooting and traffic analysis faster. Plan which ports will serve end devices and which will act as uplinks to keep cabling tidy and future changes simple. Switching sends each frame only where it needs to go, which keeps the network efficient.

It is a cost-effective way to add capacity without redesigning the rest of your network. Quote C6800IA-48FPDR when ordering to receive this exact configuration. Mount it where air can circulate freely to support long service life. Redundant topologies with alternate paths are well supported at this layer. High-capacity links and routing at this layer help the network scale cleanly. As an aggregation or core switch it consolidates traffic from access switches and links it to servers and the WAN edge. For anyone sourcing Cisco Catalyst 6800 switching, the C6800IA-48FPDR combines Cisco engineering with practical, everyday performance.
