PRODUCT OVERVIEW
As the leading switch in 10 Gigabit Ethernet deployments, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series delivers 10-Gbps performance and high port density for
data centers and network cores. Building upon the award-winning Catalyst 6500 Series, these 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules enable service providers
and enterprises to offer new Layer 2 through 7 services and network capabilities to increase revenue and user productivity without complete
equipment upgrades.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 10-Gigabit Ethernet modules provide a broad selection of features, including:
Enable New Bandwidth-Intensive ApplicationsEnable new applications, including storage networking, e-learning, computer hard drive data
backup, imaging and 3D modeling, and grid computing with intensive bandwidth requirements
Smooth Migration Path from Gigabit EtherChannel TechnologyAttractive price per port encourages Gigabit EtherChannel deployments to
migrate to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
High 10 Gigabit Ethernet Port DensityHigh port density, up to 32 ports per system
Enable Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series End-To-End SolutionsSuitable for distribution, core, and data center traffic aggregation, or for
interbuilding, points of presence (POPs), WAN edge, and MAN connections
Superior Traffic ManagementSupports eight transmit queues with one strict priority queue and multiple thresholds for traffic prioritization
and policing

APPLICATIONS
These 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface modules are suitable for distribution, core, and data center traffic aggregation, or for interbuilding, points of
presence (POPs), WAN edge, and MAN connections. Examples of these applications include data center campus connectivity applications, storage
networking applications, and GRID computing applications.
Data Center Campus Connectivity Applications
Productivity and business continuity are top concerns of companies today. Applications like e-learning and video broadcasting help improve
corporate communications and information sharing anytime, anywhere. Daily desktop backups can be scheduled over the corporate network to
ensure that critical information is not lost when computer hard drives fail. With improved video cameras and picture cameras, digital files are
becoming larger and larger. Having a 10 Gigabit Ethernet data center connectivity prepares the network for e-learning, video broadcasting, and widescale desktop backups applications (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Applications: Data Center Campus Connectivity
at both sites can be synchronized periodically using 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gigabit EtherChannel connections to provide instant disaster recovery
(Figure 3).

** According to the IEEE 802.3ae standard. Requires 5 dB 1550 nm fixed loss attenuator for <20 km; a 5 dB fixed loss attenuator is available as a spare, part number
WS-X6K-5DB-ATT=. To calculate the exact distances that your module will support before installation, see Table 4 and Figure 6. The exact distance supported
varies according to the number of splices and connectors in a single-mode fiber strand.
*** Any passive mux demux can be used with the DWDM XENPAKs. The ONS 15216 Flexlayer filters is one of the options.
