Feature Description
Ports per module 24
Connector type LC (optical) or RJ-45 (copper)
Cabling distance Depends on the SFP transceiver installed in the module port. Refer to
Appendix B for descriptions of the SFP transceiver types and supported
cabling distances.
Speed 1 Gbps
Buffer size
• Rx—166 kB per port
• Tx—1.17 MB per port
Maximum frame size Up to 9216 bytes per frame
Supervisor engine support Supported by the Supervisor Engine 720 only.
Queues per port
• Tx—1p3q8t
• Rx—1q8t
Note Rx is 2q8t when using dCEF.
Chassis/slot restrictions The module is not supported in the Catalyst 6503 chassis.
Bus connection Connects to the switch fabric using a single 20-Gbps channel.
Module upgrades available
PoE support Not supported.
Distributed forwarding
support
Ships with the WS-F6700-CFC daughter card factory-installed. The
module can be upgraded in the field to support dCEF with the
installation of a dCEF daughter card (WS-F6700-DFC3A,
WS-F6700-DFC3B, or the WS-F6700-DFC3BXL).
Note Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series CFC, DFC3A, DFC3B, and
DFC3BXL Installation Note for additional information and
field upgrade procedures.
Pluggable transceivers
support
SFP transceivers are supported. Refer to your software release notes to
determine which SFP transceivers are supported. Refer to Appendix B
for additional information on the SFP transceivers.
