Cisco ME 6500 Series Ethernet Switch

The Cisco

ME 6500 Series Ethernet Switch is a next-generation, fixed-configuration

switch built around the requirements of next-generation Carrier Ethernet networks. Based

on ground-breaking Cisco Catalyst

6500 technology, the Cisco ME 6500 Series cost-

effectively delivers on the stringent performance, reliability, and QoS requirements of

triple-play services, as well as VPN services for Ethernet-to-the-Home (ETTH), Ethernet-

to-the-Business (ETTB), and DSLAM Aggregation deployments in a space- and power-

optimized 1.5-rack unit package. The Cisco ME 6500 Series completes the Cisco Carrier

Ethernet solution portfolio by extending the most advanced MPLS, QoS, multicast, and

IPv6 features into Ethernet access and aggregation networks, enabling scalable and

service-rich Gigabit Ethernet access for both fiber and copper deployments.
