Cisco Systems WS-X6516-GE-TX Switching Module

The Cisco WS-X6516-GE-TX is a 16-port gigabit Ethernet switching module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches, delivering 16 1000BASE-T ports for copper-based gigabit connectivity within a compatible chassis. Each port supports up to 1 Gbps, enabling scalable intra-network access for servers, workstations, and other network devices through a single modular slot. This line card expands the switching capacity of the Catalyst 6500 platform and integrates with the chassis’ backplane and supervisor to extend your network’s Gigabit Ethernet reach. Designed specifically as a 16-port 1000BASE-T gigabit switching module, WS-X6516-GE-TX is a straightforward upgrade for existing 6500 deployments that require additional copper Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
