Used Cisco WS-X6708-10G-3CXL helps create powerful network infrastructure.
Cisco Systems® announces a used cisco WS-X6708-10G-3CXL 8 port 10G ethernet module for the Cisco® Catalyst® 6500 Series. The 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module doubles the 10 Gigabit Ethernet density on the Catalyst 6500 Series, providing up to 64 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a single Catalyst 6500 chassis. It is ideal for deployment in the data center for aggregating bandwidth from servers and in the LAN distribution layer for consolidating uplinks from the LAN access layer. Cisco is also announcing a price drop of the LX4 and SR X2 modular optics. This reduces per port 10 Gigabit Ethernet pricing by 30 percent, bringing this to a new price/performance level of 10 times the bandwidth at just 5 times the price of Gigabit Ethernet. The new 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module complements the existing integrated services on the Catalyst 6500 Series, enabling customers to build a scalable, resilient, and manageable data center to meet their growing business needs to consolidate and virtualize servers and storage to maximize resource utilization and drive down capital expenses.
Cisco data center switching delivers relentless velocity:
• Architecture scalability supports growth in any direction.
• Operational speed increases service velocity and IT staff productivity.
• Comprehensive resilience addresses many sources of downtime.
The used Cisco 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.
The 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber module (Figure 3) provides up to 66 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single Cisco Catalyst 6509 used cisco switch chassis and 132 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a VSS. It supports 64 Gbps of local switching, making it ideal for deployment in the core or aggregation layer of LAN campuses and data centers. All 8 ports can be used to create a virtual switch link in a VSS.
