WS-C4506E-S6L-1300 Cisco 4500 Switch

WS-C4506E-S6L-1300 Exact Bundle Identity

WS-C4506E-S6L-1300 is the Catalyst 4506-E six-slot bundle with a Supervisor 6L-E, two WS-X4648-RJ45V+E line cards and a 1300W power supply. Cisco identifies the same pair of 48-port PoE-ready Gigabit Ethernet line cards as the larger variants, but couples this PID to the 1300W power option.

What the PID does not establish

Ninety-six physical access positions do not mean ninety-six simultaneously powered endpoints. Redundant power, optics, accessories, licenses and support are not guaranteed by the PID.

Receiving and configuration gate

Verify the 1300W supply rather than relying on the chassis faceplate, then inventory powered endpoints and line-card draw. Confirm whether the received system includes any additional supply and whether facility power matches it.

Deployment planning

This lower-power variant requires the strictest PoE admission check in the three-model set. Use measured endpoint classes and the actual redundancy configuration before deployment, particularly for phones, cameras and wireless access points.

Lifecycle and migration context

This exact PID is in Cisco's Supervisor 6L-E retirement table, with end of sale on 2 February 2015 and last support on 29 February 2020.
