Cisco C6800-48P-SFP=

Overview

The Cisco C6800-48P-SFP= is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet fiber module designed for Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series switches. It expands your Catalyst chassis with 48 SFP slots, allowing network administrators to select the appropriate optical transceivers for varying bandwidth and distance requirements. This module supports both single-mode and multimode optics, enabling connections that range from short runs within wiring closets to long-distance links up to 80 km.

Compatible with Catalyst 6800ia, 6807-XL, 6880-X, and 6880-X chassis models, it integrates seamlessly into existing network infrastructures. The module uses the same software image and command set as other 6800 family devices, ensuring consistent management and compatibility with current monitoring and automation tools. This makes it a practical choice for enterprise headquarters, university campuses, data centers, and service provider facilities seeking to increase port density and optical flexibility.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
