Brand: Cisco · SKU: WS-X6708-10G-3CXL · MPN: WS-X6708-10G-3CXL · Category: Networking
The Cisco WS-X6708-10G-3CXL is a high-density, 8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module for the Catalyst 6500 Series and 7600 Series switches. It is designed for the distribution and core layers of campus and data center networks where high-speed traffic aggregation is required. The module features 8 ports of 10GbE using X2 transceivers and includes a pre-installed Distributed Forwarding Card 3CXL (DFC3CXL). This card provides hardware-based Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding and supports an expanded routing table of up to 1,000,000 IPv4 routes. The module connects to the switch fabric with a 40 Gbps connection, resulting in a 2:1 oversubscription ratio when all ports are active. It supports advanced features such as hardware-based Quality of Service (QoS), Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Jumbo Frames up to 9216 bytes.
