Ethernet Interface Modules
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Ethernet interface modules, designed for wiring closet, distribution and
core network, and data center applications, as well as service provider and Metro Ethernet
environments, use one of the following types of Ethernet interfaces.
●
10/100 Mbps over Copper: For wiring closets providing 10/100-Mbps performance with
autonegotiation and support for IEEE 802.3af PoE (inline power); up to 96 ports per
module; includes Classic and CEF256 interface modules.
●
10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit over Copper: For wiring closets and data centers providing
10/100/1000-Mbps performance with autonegotiation and support for IEEE 802.3af PoE
(inline power); up to 48 ports per module; includes Classic, CEF256, and CEF720 interface
modules.
●
100 Mbps over Fiber: For secure wiring closets and long-haul router and switch
interconnects; up to 24 ports per module; includes Classic and CEF256 interface modules.
●
1 Gbps: For distribution and core layers and for data centers providing 1-Gbps
performance; up to 48 ports per module; includes Classic, CEF256, dCEF256, and CEF720
interface modules.
●
10 Gbps: For distribution and core layers providing 10-Gbps performance in 2-port or 4-
port modules; includes CEF256 and dCEF720 interface modules.
