Cisco Catalyst 6500 Chassis Core Switches - Refurbished, Used, New
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 series is a high-performance modular switching platform built for enterprise core, aggregation, and data center deployments. With chassis sizes ranging from 3 to 13 slots, this series supports dense connectivity and scalable bandwidth from Gigabit up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet, making it a proven choice for mission-critical networks.
Equipped with modular supervisor engines such as the Supervisor Engine 2T, the Catalyst 6500 can deliver up to 80 Gbps per slot and scale to multiple terabits of system capacity when configured with Virtual Switching System (VSS). These capabilities allow enterprises to consolidate large-scale traffic flows while maintaining resiliency and performance.
The Catalyst 6500 also integrates advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, including distributed Cisco Express Forwarding for optimized packet handling. Security modules and options such as VLAN segmentation, intrusion detection, and MACsec provide strong protection at the network core. Hot-swappable line cards, redundant supervisors, and multiple power supply options ensure high availability, even during upgrades or maintenance.
At NetworkTigers, customers can purchase both refurbished and used Cisco Catalyst 6500 switches. Refurbished units undergo rigorous testing and verification to ensure they meet performance standards. Used units are confirmed ready for production networks, ensuring reliable operation from day one. Inventory is kept in stock, orders ship quickly, and every purchase includes a 365-day warranty, delivering long-term confidence and value.
