Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Modules
Product Overview
The Cisco Catalyst
®
6500 Series Switches offer a variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules to serve different needs in
the campus and data center for enterprise, commercial, and service provider customers: the Cisco Catalyst 6500 16-
port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper Module, 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Module, 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber
Module, and 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Module. The copper module supports RJ-45 connectors and provides
operational distance of up to 100m over Category 6, 6A, and 7 type cabling. The fiber modules support pluggable
optics and provide operational distances of up to 80 km over single-mode fiber and 300m over multimode fiber.
16-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper Module
The 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper module (Figure 1) provides up to 130 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports in a
single Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch chassis and 260 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Virtual
Switching System (VSS) 1440 and is primarily designed for data center access with a secondary use case for switch-
to-switch connectivity. It consists of 4 port groups of 4 ports each. Users can operate each port group in either
oversubscription mode (2 to 4 ports used per port group) or performance mode (1 port used per port group),
providing the flexibility to use some ports for connection to servers and other ports for interconnection of switches. In
performance mode, up to 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be used to create a virtual switch link in a VSS.

16-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Module
The 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber module (Figure 2) provides up to 130 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single
Cisco Catalyst 6509 chassis and 260 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a VSS and is designed for LAN campus
aggregation and data center access, where fanout and port density are very important. It consists of 4 port groups of
4 ports each. Users can operate each port group in either oversubscription mode (2 to 4 ports used per port group)
or performance mode (1 port used per port group), providing the flexibility to use some ports for connection to
servers in performance mode and others for uplinks to wiring closets in oversubscription mode. In performance
mode, up to 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be used to create a virtual switch link in a VSS.
