Cisco WS-X6708-10GE-3C is an 8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card for Catalyst 6500‑series switches, delivering eight independent 10 GbE interfaces in a single module for high‑density uplinks in core or distribution deployments. The card ships with a Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC3C) for distributed forwarding, with the WS-X6708-10G-3C offering up to 256,000 routes and the WS-X6708-10G-3CXL variant up to 1,000,000 routes. Power draw is 444.36 W (10.58 A at 42 V) for the 3C model, reflecting its substantial capacity within the chassis; this module is designed to operate with a compatible Catalyst 6500 chassis, supervisor engine, and backplane to enable eight 10 GbE connections.
