Information About WS-X6516-GBIC
Engineered for integration into Cisco Catalyst 6500 chassis, the WS-X6516-GBIC connects through a single fabric channel interface to ensure high-speed backplane access. The module supports optional upgrade to distributed forwarding for improved scalability and offloaded traffic processing. Its use of GBIC technology provides adaptability across fiber or copper connections, depending on transceiver type.
Key Features:
-
16-Port Gigabit Ethernet: Provides sixteen 1000BASE-SX interfaces via GBIC slots, offering modular and flexible media support.
-
Single Fabric Channel Interface: Connects directly to the Catalyst 6500 switch fabric for high-throughput data transfer.
-
Upgradeable to Distributed Forwarding: Enhances performance by enabling the module to process packets independently from the switch supervisor.
-
Per-Port Buffering: Each port includes 512 KB of buffer memory to handle burst traffic and ensure smooth packet delivery.
-
Standards-Compliant Operation: Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3z, ensuring compatibility with other Gigabit Ethernet devices.
-
Simple Installation: Plug-in module design allows quick deployment within existing Catalyst 6500 infrastructure.
The WS-X6516-GBIC delivers high-density, standards-based Gigabit Ethernet switching for large-scale networks requiring scalable performance.
