Cisco Catalyst 3750V2-48TS-E – 48-Port Gigabit Managed Switch

Equipment Overview

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750V2-48TS-E is a stackable enterprise LAN switch designed for high-density wiring closet and access layer deployments. It provides 48 10/100 Ethernet ports with four SFP uplink interfaces for fiber connectivity. The Enhanced Image software enables advanced Layer 3 routing and QoS features for scalable network management. This model is primarily used to aggregate user traffic and deliver reliable connectivity in medium to large enterprise networks.

Main Parameters

• Ports: 48 x 10/100 Ethernet + 4 x SFP
• Software Image: Enhanced Image (IP services feature set)
• Form Factor: Rack-mountable, 1U chassis
• Stacking: Cisco StackWise technology for unified management
• Forwarding Rate: Wire-speed switching on all ports
• Power Supply: AC input, standard internal unit
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 45°C (per Cisco specifications)

Key Advantages

This switch is selected for enterprise projects due to its proven stability and support for stacking, which simplifies network expansion and reduces administrative overhead. The Enhanced Image provides advanced routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, EIGRP) and robust access control, making it suitable for converged networks. Its 10/100 port density with SFP uplinks offers a cost-effective migration path for legacy infrastructure.

Compatibility & Integration

The WS-C3750V2-48TS-E is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 3750 series stacking modules and standard SFP transceivers (1000BASE-SX/LX). It supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3z standards, and integrates with Cisco IOS-based management systems, including SNMP, Telnet, and SSH. The switch operates in mixed stacks with other Catalyst 3750V2 models, enabling flexible deployment in existing Cisco environments.
