4500 Series line cards for

delivering Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)

fulfill the high-density, high-bandwidth,

and long-reach requirements that network

operators have to build the next generation

of metropolitan-area access networks.

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series EFM line cards

(Figure 1) let service providers deliver any

combination of data, voice, and video

services over a single optical connection to

residential homes, business parks, and

multitenant units.

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series EFM line cards

are also appropriate for manufacturing

facilities, transportation monitoring, and

fiber-to-the-desktop applications.

Ethernet over fiber enables operation in

noisy electromagnetic environments,

providing physical security and longer

reaches with the same well-understood

Ethernet transport.

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series EFM line cards

are the industry’s highest-density line cards

for optical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit

Ethernet with full support of IEEE 802.3

standards for Ethernet over fiber. The

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series line cards are

designed with functional transparency that

allows full integration with the supervisor

engine’s capabilities to increase deployment

lifetime. New capabilities are delivered to

each line card port simply by swapping the

supervisor engine.  Cisco Catalyst 4500

Series switches deployed with the

Cisco Catalyst 4000/4500 Supervisor

Engine 4 offer quality of service,

sophisticated traffic management,

and comprehensive security.
