The WS-X6708-10G-3C offers excellent value. It delivers fast 10GbE performance and enhances our network's speed and scalability.
We rely on the WS-X6708-10G-3C for high-speed connectivity. It supports our growing network needs and ensures stable performance under load.
The WS-X6708-10G-3C performs great. It ensures fast, stable 10GbE connections and integrates smoothly into our network setup.
The WS-X6708-10G-3C is essential for handling high-speed traffic. It provides excellent 10GbE performance, supporting our large network with ease.
The WS-X6708-10G-3C is a Catalyst 6500 series expansion card featuring eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with an integrated DFC3C for high-performance distributed forwarding.
The module supports eight independent 10 Gbps Ethernet ports via X2 optical transceivers, delivering up to 80 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth.
This module is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 6506-E, 6509-E, and 6513-E chassis equipped with Supervisor Engine 720 or later.
DFC3C stands for Distributed Forwarding Card 3C, which offloads Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet forwarding to deliver wire-rate performance.
Yes, the module requires Cisco X2 transceivers (for example X2-10GB-SR or X2-10GB-LR) to support multimode or single-mode fiber connections.
With DFC3C acceleration, the module delivers up to 80 Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth and up to 720 Mpps forwarding rate.
Yes, you can install or remove the WS-X6708-10G-3C while the chassis is powered on without disrupting other line cards.
The module consumes approximately 96 watts under typical load conditions; verify that your chassis power supply supports this requirement.
The module is supported on Cisco IOS Software 12.2(33)SX, 15.0(2)SY and later releases on Supervisor Engine 720 and above.
Yes, you can populate multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules in available slots, subject to Supervisor Engine and chassis slot capacity.
The module has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of approximately 315,000 hours under standard operating conditions.
It is ideal for data center server aggregation, core network uplinks, virtualized environments, and high-density campus connectivity.
Align the module rails with the chassis slot guides, gently slide until the ejector handle engages, and lock the handle to secure installation.
Fiber support depends on the X2 optics used: SR optics for multimode (850 nm), LR for single-mode (1310 nm), and ER for extended-reach (1550 nm).
No additional module license is required; the card operates under the existing Supervisor Engine license and feature set.
