Cisco WS-X6716-10GT-3C 16-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper Module

The Cisco WS-X6716-10GT-3C 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper module provides up to 130 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports in a single Cisco Catalyst 6509 Switch chassis and 260 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Virtual Switching System (VSS) 1440 and is primarily designed for data center access with a secondary use case for switch-to-switch connectivity. It consists of 4 port groups of 4 ports each. Users can operate each port group in either oversubscription mode (2 to 4 ports used per port group) or performance mode (1 port used per port group), providing the flexibility to use some ports for connection to servers and other ports for interconnection of switches. In performance mode, up to 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be used to create a virtual switch link in a VSS. The WS-X6716-10GT-3C is equipped with DFC3C for distributed forwarding, supporting 256,000 routes.

Cisco WS-X6716-10GT-3C 10 Gigabit Ethernet as a technology category provides the following benefits:

• Accelerates server virtualization
• Increases server network bandwidth, thereby removing I/O bottlenecks
• Provides higher virtual machine density per physical server
• Reduces cabling costs
• Reduces cabling by aggregating server connectivity
• Consolidates servers into fewer and more powerful servers
• Improves application performance
• Supports bandwidth-intensive applications including video, data backup, and network storage
• Supports high-performance computing (HPC) applications
• Enables unified fabric
• Consolidates LAN and iSCSI storage traffic onto a single Ethernet fabric network

The Cisco WS-X6716-10GT-3C 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper module is supported in the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis. When operating in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis (Cisco Catalyst 6503-E, 6504-E, 6506-E, 6509-E, or 6509-V-E) or Cisco Catalyst 6509-¬NEB-A chassis with dual fan tray, the configuration is NEBS 3 compliant, as it supports operating temperatures up to 55°C (131° F). When operating in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis other than an E-Series chassis (Cisco Catalyst 6506, 6509, or 6513) or Cisco Catalyst 6509-¬NEB-A with single fan tray, fan tray 2 and 2500 watts (W) or higher power supplies are required, and the configuration is not NEBS 3 compliant as it supports operating temperatures up to 40°C (104° F) only. The module can be deployed in all slots of a 3-, 4-, 6-, or 9-slot chassis. When operating in a 13-slot chassis, it must be deployed in slots 9 through 13. The module is not supported in the Cisco Catalyst 6503 non-E Series chassis or in the Cisco 7600 Series Routers.

The Cisco WS-X6716-10GT-3C 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper module is interoperable with all models of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks or Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720, including VS-S720-10G-3C, VS-S720-10G-3CXL, WS-Sup720, WS-Sup720-3B, and WS-Sup720-3BXL. Note that when DFCs are mixed in the same chassis, the chassis will operate in the lowest common mode.
