6E12X-26 AND 6E13X-25 OVERVIEW
 
The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25, shown in 
modules for Cabletron Systems 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis.
The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 are high-speed network switch devices that 
support 802.1D switching (bridging), 802.1Q switching, and Cabletron 
Systems SecureFast Switching Virtual Network technology. Ports 25 and 
26 of the 6E12X-26 support optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and 
can provide uplinks to 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet 
networks. The 6E13X-25 is capable of being equipped with a High Speed 
Interface Module (HSIM) that provides for additional connectivity to 
other high speed networking technologies such as Asychronous Transfer 
Mode (ATM), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Fiber Distributed Data 
Interface (FDDI).
The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 can be used to connect individual 
high-bandwidth user devices, such as workstations, and to provide a 
central switching point for multiple Ethernet segments using devices such 
as Cabletron Systems HubSTACK or other third party stackable devices.
