Ethernet Module Daughter Cards

Revised: August 2012

This appendix describes the daughter cards that are available for installation on certain Catalyst 6500 series Ethernet modules. The daughter cards are divided into two groups: Power over Ethernet (PoE) daughter cards and Distributed Forwarding Card (DFC) daughter cards.

PoE Daughter Cards

The PoE daughter cards can be installed either at the factory or in the field on select 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet switching modules to upgrade the Ethernet switching modules to provide inline power support, which allows the system to power inline devices, such as IP phones, video phones, and wireless access points, over standard copper cabling. There are six PoE daughter cards available for installation on Catalyst 6500 series modules. Table A-1lists the PoE daughter cards and provides a brief description of their usage.
