The Cisco WS-X6516-GE-TX is a Catalyst 6500 16-port 10/100/1000 RJ-45 interface module, a Cisco Express Forwarding 256 interface module. Its 16 ports run full or half duplex at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps and are split into two port groups, ports 1 to 8 and ports 9 to 16.
Each port reaches 328 ft (100 m) over Category 5, 5e or 6 UTP or STP cable. Buffering is 512 KB per port, with 3 egress queues and 2 ingress queues (Tx 1p2q2t, Rx 1p1q4t), and frames up to 9216 bytes are accepted.
The module has no chassis or slot restrictions and can occupy any slot in a Catalyst 6500 or Catalyst 6500-E chassis. It connects to the 32-Gbps shared bus and works with Supervisor Engine 2, 32, 32 PISA, 720 and 720-10GE. Module power is 144.90 W at 3.45 A, and AC heat dissipation is 618.54 BTU/hour.
For a 48-port copper card, compare the WS-X6748-GE-TX 48-port module, or pair the module with a WS-SUP720-3B Supervisor Engine 720. More Catalyst 6500 line cards are in the Cisco switch range.
