Ethernet Module Daughter Cards
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 five PoE daughter cards available for installation on Catalyst 6500 series modules. Table A-1 lists the PoE daughter cards and provides a brief description of their usage.
Table A-1 PoE Daughter Card Support
WS-F6K-VPWR=
Cisco prestandard PoE daughter card for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet modules. Provides 48 VDC over Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable up to 328 feet (100 meters).
Note
The WS-F6K-VPWR and WS-F6K-VPWR-GE PoE daughter cards are not interchangeable between Ethernet modules.

Warning
Centralized and Distributed Forwarding Daughter Cards
The centralized forwarding card (CFC) and the distributed forwarding cards (DFC) can be installed on select Ethernet switching modules in the field to upgrade the modules to support local switching. There is one CFC and six DFC daughter cards available for installation on Catalyst 6500 series modules. Table A-2 lists the available CFC and DFC daughter cards, provides a brief description of the daughter card, and lists the modules that the daughter card is supported on.
