Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Mixed Media Gigabit 
Ethernet Modules 

The Cisco Catalyst

®

 6500 Series switch—the premier modular multilayer switch—delivers 

secure converged services from the wiring closet to the core, to the data center, to the 

WAN edge. 

Figure 1.    Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Gigabit Ethernet Interface Modules 

 

Designed to complement the many roles that the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series plays in a network, 

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series mixed media Gigabit Ethernet modules offer the broadest selection of 

media, densities, performance, interoperability, and chassis deployments for enterprises and service 

providers. These modules are ideal for gigabit Ethernet over fiber to the desktop, gigabit uplinks, 

aggregation of high-density 10/100 interfaces, Metro Ethernet, backbone and high-speed server farm 

or data center connections as well as mixed media environments supporting both fiber and copper 

cable connections. The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Gigabit Ethernet modules offer: 

 

Flexible configurations for any deployment: Range of port densities, media choices, and 

performance speeds for any deployment requirement 

 

Choice of media and connector type: Support multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber using 

GBIC or SFP modules or MT-RJ fixed optics 

Note:  

  For Gigabit Ethernet over Copper requirements please refer to the Catalyst 6500 series 

10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface module data sheet. 

 

High mixed media Gigabit Ethernet port densities: From 8 up to 48 ports per module, and 

up to 410 mixed media/fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports per system
