WS-C6506  Catalyst 6500 Series Switches
WS-C6506 CATALYST 6506 CHASSIS
Ideal for many wiring-closet and core-network deployments, the 6-slot Cisco Catalyst 6506 provides intermediate port densities and supports a range of power supply options, including redundant power supplies ranging from 1000W AC or DC to 2500W AC or DC. When equipped with a single Catalyst 6500 Series supervisor engine, five payload slots are available to support a wide range of interface or services modules. Redundant supervisor engine configurations using fast 1-3 second failover are also supported for maximum network uptime. The Catalyst 6506 also features field upgradable fan trays for easy service
