The Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series (WS-C4500X-F-32SFP+) is a high-density, secondary-airflow aggregation switch designed for modern data centers. It provides 32 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet in a 1RU form factor. At SKYRS Pakistan, we specialize in the procurement and technical lifecycle of the “F” (Back-to-Front) variants, ensuring they are integrated correctly into specialized cooling environments.
The “F” model is specifically engineered with Back-to-Front Airflow (Blue color-coded handles), meaning the air is pulled from the rear of the chassis and exhausted through the port side.
| Feature | Specification |
| Fixed Ports | 32 x 1G/10G SFP+ |
| Airflow Direction | Back-to-Front (Reverse Airflow) |
| Switching Capacity | 800 Gbps |
| Forwarding Rate | 250 Mpps |
| Expansion Slot | 1 (Supports 8-port 10GE module) |
| Total Max Ports | 40 x 10G SFP+ |
| Redundancy | Dual hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies |
| Software Support | IP Base or Enterprise Services |
SKYRS maintains a specialized inventory of the 32-port 4500-X series to meet the diverse cooling needs of Pakistani data centers:
WS-C4500X-F-32SFP+: The 32-port base unit with Back-to-Front airflow (Blue handles).
WS-C4500X-32SFP+: The standard 32-port unit with Front-to-Back airflow (Burgundy handles).
C4KX-NM-8SFP+: Optional 8-port network module to expand either variant to 40 ports.
C4KX-PWR-750AC-F: Spare Back-to-Front AC power supplies available for redundancy.
C4KX-FAN-F: Spare Back-to-Front fan trays specifically for the “F” series chassis.
The deployment of a Back-to-Front airflow switch requires careful environmental auditing. SKYRS provides a dedicated installation team for this purpose:
Airflow Verification: We ensure the WS-C4500X-F is deployed in racks where the cold aisle is at the rear of the switch, preventing thermal recirculating that could lead to equipment failure in high-ambient Pakistani temperatures.
Fiber Infrastructure: Professional installation of high-density SFP+ cabling (SR, LR, or Twinax) with specialized cable management to avoid blocking the port-side exhaust.
VSS High Availability: We configure Virtual Switching System (VSS) for dual-switch deployments. This creates a single logical 80-port 10G entity, providing sub-second failover and eliminating Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) bottlenecks.
Configuration services are available exclusively through our certified engineering desk at SKYRS:
Layer 3 Routing: Implementation of full Enterprise Services including BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP for robust core routing.
Network Segmentation: Configuration of VRF-lite and Private VLANs to secure multi-tenant or departmental data.
Security Hardening: Deployment of Control Plane Policing (CoPP), hardware-based ACLs, and MACsec-128 encryption.
Performance Monitoring: Integration with NetFlow for granular traffic visibility and SNMPv3 for secure remote management.
