Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series Switch Family
Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series provides scalable, fixed-campus aggregation solutions in space-constrained
environments. The solution provides flexibility to build desired port density through two versions of base switches
along with optional uplink module. Both the 32- and 16-port versions can be configured with optional network
modules and offer similar features. The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) interface supports both
10 Gigabit Ethernet and 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing customers to use their investment in 1 Gigabit Ethernet
SFP and upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet when business demands change, without having to do a comprehensive
upgrade of the existing deployment. The uplink module is hot swappable.
Following are key offering from this product family:

In addition, both 32 port and 16 port versions are available with front-to-back and back-to-front airflow. The
front-to-back airflow switch comes with matching burgundy color fan and power supply handle to indicate warm
side. Similarly back-to-front airflow switch fan and power supply handles are color coded blue to indicate cool side.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show rear view of the switch with front-to-back and back-to-back airflow respectively.
