Information About WS-F6K-48X2-SPLTR
The Cisco WS-F6K-48X2-SPLTR is a Y-Type splitter accessory engineered to enhance the port density of the WS-X6148X2-RJ-45 Ethernet module, part of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series. By utilizing the two unused wire pairs within standard RJ-45 Ethernet cabling, the splitter bar effectively doubles the number of available 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports—from 48 to 96 total connections—within a single line card slot. Each splitter bar allows a single physical port on the line card to function as two logical Ethernet ports, offering cost-effective scalability for environments that require a high number of Fast Ethernet connections without expanding the switch’s physical footprint.
Key Features:
-
Port Doubling Functionality: Expands 48 RJ-45 ports to 96 by leveraging unused cable pairs.
-
High-Density Network Expansion: Enables significant port expansion without additional modules or switch chassis.
-
Optimized for WS-X6148X2: Specifically built to enhance this Cisco line card’s capabilities.
-
Simple Deployment: Installs easily into existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 setups.
-
Compatibility Assured: Works seamlessly with all Catalyst 6500 Series switches supporting the WS-X6148X2 module.
The WS-F6K-48X2-SPLTR offers a streamlined method to increase connectivity for enterprise Ethernet deployments using existing hardware infrastructure.
