I'm not sure how it works in Europe, but in US I'm getting MTBF from my account
manager at Cisco. If there is no MTBF for 4500 indeed, one of the reasons might
be that 4500 is modular box and MTBF will depend on configuration. So while
there might be no single figure for generic spherical 4500 in vacuum, I can bet
there is numbers out there for all 4500 series components.

With best regards,
Andrey.
