The WS-C6503-E-RF is a Cisco Remanufactured (RF) version of the Cisco Catalyst 6503-E Switch chassis. This 3-slot chassis is compact (4 rack units high) and designed for multi-Gbps secure data centers, remote access, e-commerce, and converged network solutions. As a remanufactured part, it is officially relicensed hardware, Smart Net Approved and Eligible, and comes with a valid IOS loaded. The base WS-C6503-E chassis supports supervisor engines in slots 1 and 2 and supports up to two Catalyst 6500 series modules.
