The Cisco WS-C6K-9SLOT-FAN2 Catalyst 6500 Series 9-Slot High-Speed Fan Tray Assembly is a chassis cooling component designed for compatible Cisco Catalyst 6509 modular switches. Featuring a nine-fan configuration and airflow of up to 630 CFM, it provides forced-air cooling to help dissipate heat generated by installed supervisor engines, switching modules, and other internal components.
Designed for enterprise network infrastructure, the Cisco WS-C6K-9SLOT-FAN2 supports thermal management in compatible Catalyst 6500 deployments. Its high-speed cooling capability helps maintain appropriate operating temperatures, including in configurations that require Supervisor Engine 32 or Supervisor Engine 720. The hot-swappable fan tray can be replaced as a complete assembly during maintenance, and Cisco specifies a chassis power supply rated at 2,500 W or higher for this model.
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 WS-C6K-9SLOT-FAN2 High-Speed Fan Tray is suitable for Catalyst 6509 chassis cooling, enterprise switching infrastructure maintenance, and replacement of failed or aging cooling assemblies. Before purchasing, verify the exact chassis model, supervisor configuration, and power-supply requirements to ensure compatibility.
Designed For: Catalyst 6509, 6509 chassis, 6509 Firewall and IDS Security System, 6509 Firewall and VPN Security System, 6509 Wiring Closet Bundle; Supervisor Engine 720, 720 with PFC3B
