Cisco Catalyst 3750X-48T-S Gigabit Ethernet Switch

Usage Area

The Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750X-48T-S is a fixed-configuration enterprise Ethernet switch designed for deployment in campus local area networks (LANs) and distribution or access layers of medium-to-large organisations. It supports high-density 10/100/1000BASE-T connectivity for endpoint devices such as workstations, servers, and IP phones. The switch is suitable for environments requiring resilient stacking and advanced IP routing at the network edge. Its IP Base feature set provides essential Layer 3 capabilities for inter-VLAN routing in segregated network segments.

Construction Features

• 48 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (10/100/1000BASE-T) for high-density data connectivity
• 4 optional uplink slots supporting 10G SFP+ or Gigabit SFP modules for uplink flexibility
• StackWise Plus technology enabling stacking of up to 9 switches for unified management and high availability
• Modular power supply and fan tray design for field-replaceable components and serviceability
• Rack-mountable 1RU chassis with front-to-back airflow for standard 19-inch cabinets
• Runs Cisco IOS IP Base software image, providing static routing, RIP, and EIGRP stub
