Information About WS-X6716-10G-3CXL
The WS-X6716-10G-3CXL delivers sixteen 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports via X2 optical interfaces and supports the 10GBASE-X cabling standard for high-speed fiber connectivity. Built as a plug-in module, it is equipped with the DFC3CXL (Distributed Forwarding Card) engine, which supports up to 1 million IPv4 routes, enabling advanced Layer 3 scalability for routing-intensive environments.
This module is designed to enhance core switching infrastructures by providing wire-speed 10GbE throughput with low latency and robust traffic handling capabilities. It integrates seamlessly into Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 Series chassis and is ideal for applications requiring high bandwidth and resiliency, such as data center interconnects, large campus networks, and high-speed metro Ethernet access.
Key Features:
- Type: 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface module for Catalyst core switches
- Port Configuration: 16 x 10GbE ports via X2 optical transceivers
- Cabling Standard: Ethernet 10GBASE-X for fiber connectivity
- Forwarding Engine: DFC3CXL with support for 1 million IPv4 routes
- Data Link Protocol: 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 10 Gbps per port
- Form Factor: Plug-in module for modular switch chassis
- Expansion Slots: 16 dedicated X2 slots for high-performance optical uplinks
- Compatibility: Cisco Catalyst 6500 and 7600 Series switches
- Dimensions: 14 in x 16 in x 1.2 in for rack-integrated deployments
- Application: Delivers scalable 10G aggregation and core-layer bandwidth in dense network environments
The WS-X6716-10G-3CXL provides high-performance 10G connectivity with robust Layer 3 forwarding, ideal for scaling enterprise or metro core networks with superior resiliency and modularity.
