Cisco Catalyst 6800 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Module

The Cisco C6800-48P-SFP= is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet fiber module for Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series switches. It instantly adds 48 SFP slots to a Catalyst chassis, giving network teams the freedom to choose the optic that matches each link's bandwidth and distance needs.

Each port accepts a standard SFP transceiver, so you can mix optics for different tasks: short multimode runs within a wiring closet, building-to-building links across a campus, or single-mode circuits that extend up to 80 km. Upgrading or repurposing a link is as simple as swapping the transceiver instead of replacing cables or hardware.

The module operates natively in Catalyst 6800ia, 6807-XL, 6880-X, and 6880-X chassis models. Because it uses the same software image and command set as the rest of the 6800 family, day-to-day management remains familiar, and existing monitoring and automation tools continue to work without changes.

Enterprise headquarters, university campuses, data centers, and service provider facilities can all benefit from the added port density and optical flexibility this module provides. Use it to aggregate access switches, connect server farms, or deliver dedicated fiber hand-offs to tenants and customers while keeping the switching core compact and efficient.

By maintaining full feature parity with the Catalyst 6800 line, the module supports advanced security, quality of service, and high availability options that are already in production networks. This approach protects current investments and prepares the infrastructure for future growth.
