What is a WS-X45-SUP6L-E?

[miwitte]

I am trying to configure a 4507 and was using a SupV. I tried putting a 24 port fiber card and it complained and said you could replace with a WS-X45-SUP6L-E which is about 5k cheaper. I cannot find any info on this supervisor at all. Does is have the same features and backplane as the WS-X45-SUP6-E whats the difference?
