C6880-X-16P10G is a 16-port multirate fiber port card with XL forwarding tables for a Catalyst 6880-X aggregation chassis, not a standalone switch. Its fixed SFP+ cages support 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections and supported 1-Gigabit SFP transceivers. The card provides non-PoE expansion for existing campus aggregation systems; a complete host chassis remains necessary for operation. The Cisco Catalyst 6880-X multirate port card is therefore an expansion or maintenance purchase rather than a complete switching system. The discontinued C6880-X-LE-16P10G carries standard tables instead of XL tables.
C6880-X-16P10G price for new stock is $1,779.75, a 92.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $25,000.00. C6880-X-16P10G refurb price is $1,017.45. C6880-X-16P10G is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

80 Gbps port-card bandwidth makes traffic allocation important when the interfaces operate at their highest supported speed. Default operation uses 2:1 oversubscription, while configurable performance mode enables eight ports at 1:1. C6880-X-16P10G supports 2097152 IPv4 route entries for forwarding-table requirements that exceed the standard-table card. Configuration and management remain with the host's Cisco IOS software rather than a separate card management interface. Chassis-provided airflow cools the installed module. Card status and individual port LEDs provide local indications during installation checks, with a green card status LED indicating normal operation without alarms.
ORM Systems offers C6880-X-16P10G new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished cards are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, and optics bay recognition. Specify the required condition, quantity, and compatible transceiver PIDs on your purchase order before ordering the card. New orders include up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished orders include up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply; Cisco's original one-year hardware warranty has ended, and Cisco service ended October 31, 2025. PO accepted, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume orders, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

An existing aggregation chassis with an available half-wide slot is the starting point for an expansion order. Catalyst 6880-X chassis accept four optional port cards. Review slot occupancy alongside the connection schedule, then specify the destination chassis, target slot, card quantity, and required transceiver PIDs on the purchase order.
A staging chassis being prepared for installation needs unused expansion slots covered before operation. C6880-X-CVR-E is the blank module used where a port card is absent. Keep blank modules separate from traffic-bearing cards in the installation inventory, and verify the remaining slot covers before approving the hardware order.
Standalone switching without a host chassis
C6880-X-16P10G is a chassis-installed port card, not a complete switch. A separate host chassis is required for operation; no direct replacement port card is available.
Sixteen nonoversubscribed 10G connections
C6880-X-16P10G operates sixteen 10G ports at 2:1 oversubscription; 1:1 performance mode enables eight. Different hardware is required for sixteen nonoversubscribed connections, and no direct replacement card is available.

Reliable 10G solution with smooth deployment.
C6880-X-16P10G identifies the Catalyst 6880-X multirate port card with XL tables. C6880-X identifies the family; 16P10G distinguishes the 16-port 10-Gigabit card configuration. Specify the complete hardware identifier on the purchase order rather than substituting the shorter chassis PID or the standard-table card identifier.
C6880-X-16P10G installs in the half-wide expansion slots of a Catalyst 6880-X chassis. The card is not independently rack-mounted or operated as a standalone switch. Before placing an order, confirm the installed chassis identity, available slot, and exact card PID required for the intended replacement or expansion.
C6880-X-16P10G is managed through its Catalyst 6880-X host chassis using the CLI over RJ-45 serial console, USB console, SSH, or Telnet, with SNMP available for network management. Include the chosen chassis management path in the installation handover and arrange operator access before the card enters service.
C6880-X-16P10G enables eight 10G ports in configurable 1:1 performance mode, compared with sixteen 10G ports in the default 2:1 oversubscribed mode. The operating-mode choice changes usable port density. Specify the intended mode and required active connections before selecting the card quantity for the purchase order.
The Catalyst 6880-X multirate port card supports SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-LR for 10G fiber connections, plus GLC-SX-MMD and GLC-LH-SMD for 1G connections. Match each transceiver to the remote interface and installed fiber. Include selected transceiver PIDs on the purchase order rather than describing only the card.
C6880-X-16P10G requires host software release 15.1(2)SY2 or later for port-card support. The installed chassis software must support the card before installation. Include the installed release and required feature set in the order review rather than treating physical fit as the only compatibility check for the hardware purchase.
Yes, C6880-X-16P10G is hot-swappable and supports online insertion and removal in its host chassis. For a replacement order, specify the exact card PID and coordinate physical installation with the network operator. Keep the replacement hardware and handling plan ready before starting work on the installed unit.
C6880-X-16P10G is discontinued: end of sale was October 30, 2020, and Cisco service and security support ended October 31, 2025. No direct replacement port card is available. Orders depend on existing hardware inventory, and continued operation requires buyer-selected support arrangements rather than active Cisco lifecycle coverage.
C6880-X-16P10G uses XL tables; the discontinued C6880-X-LE-16P10G uses standard tables. Both supply the same multirate port-card format. Larger forwarding-table requirements distinguish the XL card, while a standard-table configuration distinguishes the other. Both are discontinued maintenance purchases for existing chassis rather than current-generation platform refresh options.
ORM Systems offers C6880-X-16P10G new sealed with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, or certified refurbished with up to 1 year of ORM coverage. Both conditions include 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original one-year hardware warranty has ended, and Cisco service ended October 31, 2025. Refurbished cards are inspected and bench-tested.
