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
