The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Fiber Interface Module (part number: WS-X6524-100FX-MM) is a high-performance switching module designed for network professionals looking to enhance their infrastructure. This module is intended for plug-in functionality within Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches, offering seamless integration and enhanced network capabilities. It supports 24 ports of 100BASE-FX for fibre-based Fast Ethernet connections. The module is ideal for providing high-speed, reliable communications in demanding network environments that require fibre connectivity.
Each of the 24 ports is equipped with a multimode (MM) transceiver, allowing for efficient data transmission over fibre-optic connections. The use of 100BASE-FX fibre-optic technology means enhanced data transport over distances significantly further than those possible with traditional copper cabling. The module’s Fast Ethernet capability ensures data transmission rates of up to 100 Mbps, making it highly suitable for enterprise-level networking needs.
The WS-X6524-100FX-MM is also designed with management features that allow system administrators to monitor and optimise network performance. It supports a range of monitoring protocols to ensure networks can be easily managed, configured, and adjusted according to specific requirements. The addition of plug-in modularity means this interface can be quickly installed or replaced in a compatible Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series chassis, enabling versatile configuration and future scalability.
Overall, this switching module provides an excellent option for organisations looking to expand or maintain their fibre-optic network with a reliable, high-speed solution.
