The 9-slot Cisco Catalyst 6509 Enhanced Vertical Switch (6509-V-E) provides capabilities to support system bandwidth capacity (80 Gbps per slot) up to 1440 Gbps and enhanced cable management capabilities. It also provides front-to-back airflow that is optimized for hot and cold aisle designs in colocated data center and service provider deployments and is compliant with Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) deployments. Cisco Catalyst 6500 E-Series chassis offer exceptional investment protection by supporting multiple generations of products on the same chassis thereby reducing total ownership costs. The Cisco Catalyst 6509-V-E chassis supports both the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32 and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720 family along with associated LAN WAN and services modules.

The Catalyst 6000 Family supports a number of features designed to protect customer investments. Both the Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series support the same line-card modules supervisors and power supplies enabling common sparing and cost-effective performance upgrades. Interface flexibility is supported on all Gigabit Ethernet ports such that interface requirement changes do not require a completely new module but can be satisfied by a simple Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) change. And since the Catalyst 6000 Family leverages the industry-leading software and management infrastructure of the Catalyst family customers can apply their existing knowledge of Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) CWSI and CRM tools without the need to learn a new CLI or management system.Modular chassis within both Catalyst 6000 and 6500 Series are offering slot densities of 6- and 9-slot systems. Catalyst 6006 6009 6506 and 6509 support a wide range of configuration and price/performance options. Both switches series support the same suite of supervisors interface line cards and common equipment easing sparing requirements and protecting investments with upward performance migration.
