WS-C4506E-S6L-2800 Cisco 4500 Switch

WS-C4506E-S6L-2800 Exact Bundle Identity

WS-C4506E-S6L-2800 is the Catalyst 4506-E six-slot bundle with a Supervisor 6L-E, two WS-X4648-RJ45V+E line cards and a 2800W power supply. Cisco's exact description establishes ninety-six PoE-ready copper Gigabit Ethernet positions across two line cards and the 2800W power-supply variant.

What the PID does not establish

It does not establish redundant power, guaranteed powered-device capacity, optics, current licenses, software media, rack hardware or active support.

Receiving and configuration gate

Inspect both WS-X4648-RJ45V+E cards, Supervisor 6L-E and the 2800W supply label. Model the endpoint power requirement and redundancy policy before deciding whether this variant can carry the intended PoE load.

Deployment planning

The 2800W variant trades input and PoE headroom against the 4200W bundle. Compare actual facility power, line-card utilization and failure-mode requirements instead of treating the three power variants as interchangeable.

Lifecycle and migration context

Cisco's Supervisor 6L-E notice gives an end-of-sale date of 2 February 2015 and a last-support date of 29 February 2020 for this exact bundle.
