Cisco should make at least one 1U switch with real dual power built into the chassis or bring back a real RPS. Ah, but they *do* make such a switch. It's called the ME3400. There's also the 3750 Metro, the Catalyst 4948 and the ME-4900. -A ___

Agreed, what is so difficult about 1U plus dual power and 48 ports? That it would undercut several of their other products. For a data centre where you might have dozens of these, it is essential. We use Allied Telesyn switches, as their 8948 is a 1U box with dual power for a

Cisco should make at least one 1U 24 port GigE switch with real dual power built into the chassis for under $1000 street price or bring back a real RPS. I don't need L3 features for most applications. That's where our 6500s come in. We just need a switch for customer server setups in our

We are looking at options to provide redundancy for the internal A/C power supply in some 3550-48-EMIs. It seems that the following RPS models will work: RPS-300 RPS-675 RPS-2300 We plan to do a 1-1 config (1 RPS for 1 switch), so we are leaning towards the RPS-300 for cost reasons. I've
