WS-X6704-10GE brings four 10-Gbps ports to a Catalyst 6500. Ports take XENPAK transceivers, and the connector is SC or InfiniBand 4X depending on the transceiver chosen, and digital optical monitoring is available on some XENPAKs. Buffer memory is 16 MB, with eight egress queues.
Unlike the 10/100 and gigabit cards, it uses two switch-fabric connections at 20 Gb/s each: fabric channel 1 serves ports 3 and 4, and fabric channel 2 serves ports 1 and 2. Oversubscription is approximately 1:1 and frames up to 9216 bytes are accepted. Inline power is not available.
Supervisor Engine 720 and 720-10GE work with it, and Supervisor Engine 2T works when the module carries a CFC daughter card or a DFC4-A or DFC4-AXL card. The Catalyst 6503 chassis does not support it, and in a 6513 chassis it is limited to slots 9 to 13.
In the field it can be upgraded with a WS-F6700-DFC3A, WS-F6700-DFC3B, WS-F6700-DFC3C or WS-F6700-DFC3CXL forwarding card. With the CFC card the module draws 7.03 A and 295.26 W, with 369.08 W of AC input and 1260.39 BTU/hour, and its weight is 9.0 lb (4.08 kg). Eight-port 10 Gigabit cards such as the WS-X6708-10G-3C 8-port 10 Gigabit module are also in Cisco interface cards.
