can i replace a faulty WS-X4548-GB-RJ45 ethernet card of Catalyst 6006 with any refurbished?

[rsardinha]

We have a damaged card on Catalyst 6006 chasis (show faulty with red led), we find cards from several Providers but I have doubts about compatiblity, is there any advice about firmware, any thing else to look up before buy?

That looks like a line card for a 4500. You can verify the line cards you have with a show module

We change the faulty card to slot 6 but the red light is still on. So we are looking replace it.

We have quote for WS-X6248-RJ-45 from Curvature, but have doubts about compatibility.

Best Regards,

Is it worth it?
Your Sup1A was made 20 years ago. Are you willing to risk a refurbished spare part that may/may not last 1 year?

The line cards from a 6K chassis will not fit in a 4K chassis.
