Cisco Catalyst 8500 C8500-20X6C High-Speed Network Switch

Build high-capacity enterprise and service-edge connectivity with the Cisco Catalyst 8500 C8500-20X6C switch. The listed configuration provides 20 10GE interfaces and six 100GE interfaces, giving network architects a clearly defined platform for dense aggregation, backbone, and data-center connectivity. This model is suited to infrastructure projects that require a substantial combination of 10GbE and 100GbE ports within one Catalyst 8500 system. Because high-speed interfaces must align with optics, cabling, software, power, and network topology, buyers should validate the complete deployment design before ordering.
