Designed for deployment in wiring closets, high-density Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Classic 10/100 and 10/100/1000 interface modules provide line-rate 10/100 Ethernet forwarding and gigabit bandwidth to the desktop capabilities. These interface modules feature PoE field-installable daughter cards for pay-as-you-grow investment protection and flexibility.
The WS-X6196-RJ-21 module doubles the port density in the system in the same footprint, using the stacked standard RJ-21 connectors. Port-density improvement can be achieved with no incremental investment in the cable infrastructure. With the 802.3af PoE daughter card, this module can support up to 96 Class 2 devices or 62 Class 3 devices per module (960W of PoE per module).
