REDUCES DEPLOYMENT COSTS
Two Switch 4500 models provide Power over Ethernet
(PoE). PoE provides electrical power and data
connectivity over a single Ethernet cable—resulting in
significant cost savings when deploying devices like IP
phones, wireless access points and IP security
cameras.

INCREASES FLEXIBILITY AND SCALABILITY
Dual-personality ports allow for both copper and fiber
Gigabit uplink connections. The switch supports true
stacking with the ability to stack up to eight switch
units—384 10/100 ports per stack—with single IP
management and distributed aggregated links for
high uplink resiliency. Alternatively, cluster manage
up to 32 geographically distributed devices together,
with any mix of Switch 5500G, 5500, 4500G, 4500,
4200G and 4210s.
