Cisco WS-F6K-VPWR= Network Switch Component Networking

The Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series provides the broadest selection of 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet media, Power over Ethernet (inline power) options, densities, performance, interoperability, and chassis deployment options. From basic wiring closets, small campus distribution/core layers, to high performance data centers, the Catalyst 6500 series 10/100 and 10/100/1000Mbps modules scale from 16-ports up to 1152-ports in a single Catalyst 6500 chassis. Catalyst 6500 10/100 and 10/100/1000Mbps modules offer:

Proven and widely deployed Cisco AVVID wiring closet solution—Cisco's most widely deployed IP telephony port-enabled campus switch
Choice of media and connector types—Available in copper unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), shielded twisted-pair (STP) using RJ-45 or RJ-21, multimode fiber (62.5/125 micron), and single-mode fiber using MT-RJ 100FX and 10FL

Note: See Catalyst 6500 Series Mixed Media Gigabit Ethernet Interface Modules datasheet for information on modular physical layer deployment options using GBICs and SFP form-factors


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power over Ethernet support (e.g., IP phone and wireless access point)—Support Power over Ethernet (PoE) field upgrade, NIC/Phone auto-detection (phone discovery), and voice VLANs
Simplified network operation with cable fault detection--Test cabling using Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) that sends signals down the cable to identify faults in each twisted pair (available on some 10/100/1000 Ethernet over copper interface modules)
Range of port densities—Available with 16 to 96 ports per module; enabling up to 1152 10/100Base-TX ports, 576 10/100/1000Base-TX ports, 288 ports of 100-Base-FX, or 10BASE-FL per 13-slot chassis (configured with 12 interface modules)
Scalable and predictable performance—Provide a selection of switch fabric connections and throughput options: 32Gbps, 256Gbps and 720 Gbps bandwidth with system throughput of: 15 Mpps, 30Mpps, 210Mpps and up to 400Mpps
IEEE 802.3 triple-speed autonegotiation—Allow switches to negotiate speed (10, 100, and now 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half or full) with attached devices
Superior traffic management—Available with large 1-MB-per-interface buffers and up to 4 transmit queues aid in congestion avoidance, traffic prioritization and policing; multiple thresholds can be configured to manage differentiated levels of service
Operational consistency—Configurations available for Catalyst 6500 3-, 6-, 9-, and 13-slot chassis running Cisco IOS® Software and Cisco Catalyst Operating System Software; interoperable with all other interfaces and services modules; and forward-compatible with all Catalyst 6500 supervisor engines
Maximum network uptime and resiliency—Support Cisco enhanced Per-Virtual LAN (VLAN) Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) protocol, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) protocol, Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree (PVRST) protocol, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Cisco EtherChannel®, and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation for fault-tolerant connectivity
Extensive management tools—Support CiscoWorks network management platform; Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions 1, 2, and 3; and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups (statistics, history, alarms, and events)
