Cisco C6800‑48P‑SFP – High‑Density 48‑Port 1 GbE SFP Module for Catalyst Chassis
The Cisco C6800‑48P‑SFP is a 48‑port Gigabit Ethernet SFP expansion module with integrated DFC4 acceleration, designed for Cisco Catalyst chassis to deliver scalable fiber‑based connectivity and robust switching performance.
The Cisco C6800‑48P‑SFP is a high‑performance expansion module designed to enhance network capacity and flexibility in Cisco Catalyst 6800 and compatible chassis. This module features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with SFP interfaces, allowing the use of a wide range of fiber optic SFP transceivers for multimode or single‑mode connectivity, depending on network needs. Integrated with Distributed Forwarding Card 4 (DFC4) technology, it offloads traffic processing from the supervisor engine to improve hardware switching performance and support demanding network environments. The module supports extensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 features such as VLANs, Spanning Tree protocols, advanced QoS, ACLs, and IPv4/IPv6 routing. Thanks to hot‑swappable design and compatibility with Cisco IOS XE software, it delivers reliable scalability and uptime for enterprise core, data center, or campus networks.
Key Features:
48× 1 GbE SFP Ports – Flexible fiber connectivity for multimode or single‑mode deployments.
Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC4) – Hardware‑assisted forwarding for improved performance.
