The Cisco Catalyst 6509 chassis (part number: WS-C6509-2500AC=) is a high-performance network switch designed for enterprise-level applications. This chassis supports up to nine modular slots, providing flexible configurations to accommodate varying network demands. Its compatibility with Cisco's comprehensive range of modules ensures adaptability in network environments that require both core and distribution layer functionality.
This switch is designed for reliable operation in high-demand environments, featuring a power supply rated at 2500W AC to ensure consistent power distribution to the entire system. The dual-power option provides redundancy, minimising the chance of network downtime, which leads to improved operational reliability.
One of the key components of the Cisco Catalyst 6509 is its integration of the Cisco IOS software for handling substantial data streams, providing comprehensive functionality that can be managed at various levels. Additionally, the chassis supports backbone switching and converged IP services, making it highly suitable for use in large-scale data centres, service provider infrastructures, and extensive campus environments.
The unit also supports both desktop and rack-mount configurations, allowing for flexibility based on the network’s physical setup. It uses port modules that can be upgraded or swapped easily, thereby ensuring long-term scalability as your enterprise networking requirements evolve. Fans are built-in to provide enhanced cooling during continuous operation, particularly critical in temperature-sensitive environments.
