Cisco Catalyst 3750G-48TS-E – Managed Gigabit Switch

Equipment Overview

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750G-48TS-E is a managed enterprise Ethernet switch designed for high-performance network aggregation and access layer deployments. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports with four additional SFP slots for fiber uplinks, enabling flexible connectivity in server racks and distribution points. This model is equipped with the IP Services (IPS) image, offering advanced Layer 3 routing and security features for medium to large networks. The switch is primarily intended for environments requiring high port density, redundant uplinks, and robust traffic management.

Main Parameters

• Ports: 48 x 10/100/1000T (Gigabit Ethernet copper)
• Uplinks: 4 x SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) slots
• Software Image: IP Services (IPS) with enhanced routing and QoS capabilities
• Switching Capacity: Stackable architecture supporting Cisco StackWise technology
• Form Factor: 1U rack-mountable chassis
• Model Family: Catalyst 3750 Series
• MPN: WS-C3750G-48TS-E

Key Advantages

This switch is selected for enterprise projects due to its proven reliability in mission-critical access and aggregation roles. The IPS image delivers advanced features such as policy-based routing and ACLs without the need for external hardware. Its stackable design simplifies management and scales capacity across multiple units, reducing operational overhead.

Compatibility & Integration

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750G-48TS-E integrates seamlessly with existing Cisco network infrastructures, supporting standards-based protocols including IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab. It is compatible with Cisco IOS CLI and works with third-party SFP modules, making it suitable for mixed-vendor environments. The switch supports VLAN trunking (802.1Q), link aggregation (LACP), and SNMP for unified network management.
