Description
The Cisco WS-X6724-SFP-3CXL is a high-performance 24-port Gigabit Ethernet module designed for the Catalyst 6500 Series switches. Equipped with Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces, this line card supports a wide range of fiber and copper transceivers, offering flexible connectivity options for enterprise and data center environments. Built with the Cisco 3CXL (Centralized Caching and Classification) fabric-enabled architecture, it provides enhanced scalability and performance, particularly in high-demand Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching scenarios. The module is ideal for dense aggregation points requiring reliable throughput and robust traffic management.
This model includes a dedicated Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC3CXL), enabling distributed forwarding and reducing the processing load on the supervisor engine. With support for up to 48 Gbps of switching capacity per slot and advanced QoS, ACLs, and multicast features, it ensures efficient traffic handling even under heavy network loads. The WS-X6724-SFP-3CXL is compatible with a variety of Cisco IOS software versions, making it a versatile choice for upgrading legacy systems or expanding current infrastructure. When purchasing used, buyers should confirm the condition of SFP ports and ensure the DFC3CXL is intact for optimal performance.
