The Catalyst 6000 family consists of the Catalyst 6000 series and Catalyst 6500 series switches. The Catalyst 6000 series consists of the Catalyst 6006 and 6009 switches, and the Catalyst 6500 series consists of the Catalyst 6506 and 6509 switches. These high-performance, modular, frame-based switches support high-density Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in both campus-backbone and server-aggregation environments. The six-slot Catalyst 6006 and nine-slot Catalyst 6009 have a 32-Gbps switching capacity. The six-slot Catalyst 6506 and nine-slot Catalyst 6509 support a backplane architecture that scales from 32 Gbps to 256 Gbps. All platforms share the same supervisor engines, switching modules, and software, and support redundant configurations of supervisor engines, power supplies, and port interfaces.The 24-port 100FX switching module (WS-X6224-100FX-MT) provides 24 switched, 100-Mbps, full- or half-duplex ports. Ports have MT-RJ connectors for MMF cable. This module is a Class 1 laser product.
