Cisco Catalyst 4900
Network Equipment > Catalyst Switch > 4900



Critical to your business is the maintenance of consistent up-time for mixed data types. Telephony systems in particular need consistent up time. With built-in data and power redundancies, the 4900 Cisco Catalyst Switch can help your business maximize its network capabilities.

For Layers 2 and 3 network edge deployments, the 4900 Cisco Catalyst Switch is a great choice. Like the 4500 options, Cisco 4900 switches provide great reliability and redundancy to support your mixed data types. For even more up time, you can choose the optional internal AC/DC 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies, and a hot-swappable fan tray.

There are two basic options of Cisco 4900 switches. The first, the 4948, is a wire-speed, low-latency, 1 RU fixed-configuration switch designed for Layers 2-4. It offers great performance for low-density multilayer aggregation for workstations and high-performance servers. With 48 ports wire speed 10/100/1000BASE-T and four alternative wired ports for 1000BASE-X SFP optics, you should have more than enough flexibility and scalability for most mid-sized businesses. And of course, the Cisco 4948 offers the high-redundancy AC/DC 1+1 power option.

The second option i-e. Cisco Catalyst 4948 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) Switch supports 2 ports of wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (X2 optics) in addition to everything supported by the standard Cisco 4948.

Like all Cisco products, you can expect high reliability and high flexibility with Cisco 4900 switches. And because Cisco controls about 80% of the Ethernet router market, you will also be able to find high-quality refurbished networking equipment compatible with these switches, as well as a number of refurbished 4900 switches.

Cisco networking gear is known throughout the industry for being high-quality, redundant, tough equipment. While some of its competitors offer similar equipment for lower prices, Cisco's policy of continual improvement, maintained despite its domination of the market, ensures that your Cisco system will always be the best and most reliable network available, and will save you more money on the long run than going to a cheaper competitor would save you.

Even better, Cisco networking gear continues adding features and improvements like more robust support for switches to address the critical need for always-up support for telephony. With an 80% market share, Cisco remains alert and responsive for problems with its products and ways to make themselves even more competitive. This means that using Cisco 4900 switches for your company's networking needs ensures you the best possible architecture in today's competitive world.

Availability of Cisco products is in general very comprehensive, but you can also get high-quality refurbished networking equipment at a fraction of the cost that works just as well as the new products.
