Cisco WS-X6148-RJ-21 Catalyst 6500 Series 48-Port 10/100 RJ-21 Classic Interface Module; upgradable to support Prestandard PoE Daughter Card (part number WS-F6K-VPWR=) or to IEEE 802.3af PoE daughter card (partnumber WS-X6148-21AF-UG=)

Cisco WS-X6148-RJ-21 Catalyst 6500 Series 48-Port 10/100 RJ-21 Classic Interface Module; upgradable to support Prestandard PoE Daughter Card (part number WS-F6K-VPWR=) or to IEEE 802.3af PoE daughter card (partnumber WS-X6148-21AF-UG=)

SKU: WS-X6148-RJ-21

The Cisco WS-X6148-RJ-21 is a robust classic interface module from the Catalyst 6500 Series, featuring 48 ports of 10/100 connectivity with RJ-21 connectors, ideal for high-density, enterprise-class data networking. This versatile module supports an upgrade option for Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, either through a prestandard PoE daughter card (WS-F6K-VPWR=) or an IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE daughter card (WS-X6148-21AF-UG=), enhancing its functionality to power PoE-enabled devices such as IP phones and wireless access points directly through network cables, thereby reducing additional power cabling and costs.

Frequent Ask Questions
  • What is Cisco WS-X6148-RJ-21?

    The Cisco WS-X6148-RJ-21 is a 48-Port 10/100 RJ-21 Classic Interface Module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches.

  • What devices is the WS-X6148-RJ-21 compatible with?

    The WS-X6148-RJ-21 is specifically designed for compatibility with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches.

  • What is the purpose of the prestandard PoE Daughter Card and the IEEE 802.3af PoE daughter card?

    These daughter cards upgrade the interface module to support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The prestandard PoE Daughter Card allows support for non-standard PoE applications, while the IEEE 802.3af PoE Daughter Card allows compatibility with the IEEE 802.3af standard for PoE.

  • How can I upgrade the WS-X6148-RJ-21 for PoE support?

    You can upgrade the WS-X6148-RJ-21 for PoE support by installing either the prestandard PoE Daughter Card (part number WS-F6K-VPWR=) or the IEEE 802.3af PoE daughter card (part number WS-X6148-21AF-UG=).

  • Is there any special requirement to install the PoE daughter card?

    The installation process generally involves powering down the switch and properly seating the daughter card onto the interface module following Cisco’s guidelines. Ensure that you are using the correct part number relevant to your needs, either WS-F6K-VPWR= for prestandard PoE or WS-X6148-21AF-UG= for IEEE 802.3af PoE.

  • What kinds of network speeds does the WS-X6148-RJ-21 support?

    The WS-X6148-RJ-21 supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speeds on all 48 ports.
