Feature Description
Ports per module 16
Connector type SC (optical) or RJ-45 (copper)
Cabling distance Depends on the GBIC transceiver installed in the module port. Refer to
Appendix B for supported GBIC transceiver types and cabling
distances.
Speed 1 Gbps
Buffer size
• Tx—1.17 MB per port
• Rx—166 kB per port
Maximum frame size Up to 9216 bytes per frame
Supervisor engine support Supported by the following supervisor engines:
• Supervisor Engine 2 (requires a Switch Fabric Module or SFM2 be
installed in the switch chassis and a DFC3 daughter card installed
on the WS-X6816-GBIC)
• Supervisor Engine 720 (requires a DFC3A, DFC3B, or DFC3BXL
daughter card be installed on the module)
Queues per port
• Tx—1p2q2t
• Rx—1p1q4t
Note Rx is 2q8t when using dCEF.
Chassis/slot restrictions Can occupy any slot in any Catalyst 6500 or Catalyst 6500-E chassis
with the exception of the Catalyst 6513 chassis where the module can
occupy only slots 9 through 13.
Bus connection Connects to the switch fabric using dual 20-Gbps channels.
