The Cisco WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN2 Catalyst 6500 Series 6-Slot High-Speed Fan Tray is a chassis cooling assembly designed for the Cisco Catalyst 6506 modular switch. Featuring a six-fan configuration and airflow of up to 420 CFM, it provides forced-air cooling to help dissipate heat generated by installed switching modules and supervisor engines.
Designed for enterprise network infrastructure, the Cisco WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN2 supports thermal management in compatible Catalyst 6500 deployments. Its high-speed cooling design helps maintain appropriate operating temperatures and supports reliable hardware operation. The complete fan tray can be replaced during maintenance when the cooling assembly fails or requires replacement. Cisco specifies a chassis power supply of 2,500 W or higher for this fan tray.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN2 High-Speed Fan Tray is suitable for Catalyst 6506 chassis cooling, enterprise switching infrastructure maintenance, and replacement of failed or aging cooling assemblies. Before purchasing, verify chassis compatibility and power-supply requirements, as this model is not intended for the Catalyst 6506-E.
