densities, from 10/100 Mbps to 10 Gbps and
DS0 to OC-48, for a comprehensive,
end-to-end, converged solution.
Using the same supervisor modules and line
cards from the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, the
Cisco Catalyst 6503 offers maximum
investment protection and broadens the
deployment options of the Cisco Catalyst 6500
in the wiring closet, distribution, core, data
center, and WAN edge.
48-Port 10/100 Ethernet Modules
To expandtherangeoftheCiscoCatalyst6500
Series wiring closet deployments, Cisco is also
announcing two new 48-port 10/100 Ethernet
modules (RJ-45 and RJ-21 interfaces) with
IEEE 802.3af inline power upgrade
capabilities.
Offeringthe standard Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series rich feature set and high availability, these modules are optimized to provide
a scalable future-proof and cost-effective wiring closet solution on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series.
Available in RJ-45 or RJ-21 interfaces, these modules provide standard 48-port 10/100 Ethernet connectivity and are field
upgradable to Cisco Inline Power by the addition of the Cisco Inline Power Voice Feature Card for the deployment of a
converged multiservice voice, video, and data network.
These latest-generation 10/100 modules can be upgraded in the field to support the emerging IEEE 802.3af inline power
standard in the future, offering maximum investment protection to the customer.
Table 1 lists the new product offerings, and Table 2 gives software requirements.
