About the Cisco Catalyst 6500/6800 WS-C6500-3000W Cisco Catalyst switch
The Cisco Catalyst 6500/6800 WS-C6500-3000W power supply module is purpose-built for enterprise-grade network backbone deployments where redundancy and continuous availability are non-negotiable. Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams rely on this modular AC power supply to deliver consistent, fault-tolerant power to mission-critical switching environments across distributed data center and campus networks.
The WS-C6500-3000W is a genuine Cisco hardware component engineered for seamless integration with Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series chassis. With 3000W output capacity and support for N+1 and full redundant power configurations, this hot-swappable module eliminates single points of failure in power delivery. Input flexibility spans 200–240V AC at 50–60 Hz, accommodating global electrical standards. Integrated Cisco IOS chassis management enables real-time power monitoring and automated fault reporting, while inline Power over Ethernet (PoE) support allows the module to contribute to the chassis PoE budget when paired with PoE-capable line cards. Its modular form factor fits directly into Catalyst 6500/6800 power supply bays, enabling rapid deployment and field replacement without service interruption.
