The Cisco Catalyst 6800 8-Port 10GE, part number C6800-8P10G-XL=, offers eight ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet on a single line card, designed for integration into Catalyst 6800 Series switches. It is the ideal networking solution for high-performance businesses that require scalable and reliable core and distribution layers in their network architecture. This line card supports SFP+ modules, ensuring a flexible and easily customisable approach to dense 10 GE deployments. The card provides support for both fibre and copper connectivity, depending on the type of SFP or SFP+ module installed, maximising adaptability.
A key feature of this part is the pre-configured DFC4XL (Distributed Forwarding Card) that comes integrated within the card itself. The DFC4XL allows for distributed forwarding across the network, relieving the central processing unit (CPU) from handling all traffic processing tasks and helping to reduce bottlenecks, thus significantly improving overall network efficiency. This is critical for organisations operating data centres, or for enterprises managing large user bases where continuous high performance is essential.
Additionally, the Catalyst 6800 8-Port 10GE card with part number C6800-8P10G-XL= is refurbished (RFB), which ensures that you receive a fully functioning product that has undergone rigorous testing. As part of Cisco’s refurbished product line, this unit is a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure without purchasing brand-new hardware.
