Cisco WS-C3750X-48T-E 48-Port Gigabit Managed Switch

Equipment Overview

The Cisco WS-C3750X-48T-E is a Catalyst 3750X series stackable switch with 48 data ports and an IP Services feature set. It is designed for enterprise LAN deployments requiring high-density Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, advanced Layer 3 routing, and stackable scalability. The switch serves as a core aggregation or access layer device, supporting dynamic routing protocols and enhanced security features. Its primary purpose is to deliver reliable, high-performance data switching for medium-to-large network environments.

Main Parameters

• Model: WS-C3750X-48T-E
• Port Configuration: 48-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet data (non-PoE)
• Software Edition: IP Services (full Layer 3 feature set, including OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP)
• Form Factor: Stackable switch, Catalyst 3750X series
• Uplink Support: Compatible with optional 10G uplink modules (via modular slots)
• Stacking Technology: Cisco StackWise Plus for resilient, high-bandwidth stacking

Key Advantages

This model is selected for enterprise projects requiring advanced IP routing capabilities without PoE power requirements.
