The WS-X6816-10G-2TXL is a 6800 Series 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber module with a DFC4XL for Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis and found in the Cisco interface cards range. Its ports take X2 transceivers, and the reach is set by the X2 transceiver fitted.
X2 transceivers supported by the module cover 15 m over InfiniBand-type cable, 100 m over Category 6A or 7 copper, 220 m to 300 m over multimode fiber, and 10 km, 40 km or 80 km over single-mode fiber. A 32-wavelength DWDM X2 reaches 80 km, and a converter lets SFP+ optics and Twinax cables sit in X2 ports.
The DFC4XL brings 1 million forwarding entries, 256K ACL entries and 1024K NetFlow entries, with 60 Mpps for IPv4 and up to 30 Mpps for IPv6. The module draws 503.5 W, connects to the fabric at 2 x 20 Gbps full duplex, and holds 1 GB of memory by default.
It occupies any slot in 6503-E, 6504-E, 6506-E, 6509-E and 6509-V-E chassis and slots 1 to 6 and 9 to 13 of a 6513-E. Only E-Series chassis are supported, and the module works with Supervisor Engine 2T and 2TXL.
