Cisco Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-Slot Chassis, 14RU | Enterprise Chassis — CON-L14HR-3172PQXL

Support demanding campus and data center switching architectures with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-slot chassis. This 14RU platform is built for modular network designs where slot density, service flexibility, and chassis-level control matter more than fixed-port convenience. By JTFpping without power supplies or fan tray, it gives architects the freedom to configure the system around specific redundancy, airflow, and capacity requirements. For teams standardizing on the Catalyst 6500 family, this chassis serves as the structural core for a long-lived switching investment. The 9-slot layout supports expansion planning without forcing a forklift replacement when port counts, line-card mix, or service modules change. That makes it a practical fit for environments where uptime, maintenance windows, and lifecycle consistency carry real cost. This is the kind of chassis chosen when the network is too important for compromise. It is intended for enterprise infrastructure programs that need a proven modular platform and the control to assemble the right power and cooling architecture for the deployment. Ideal For Core campus switching deployments requiring modular expansion Enterprise network refreshes built around Catalyst 6500 line cards Data center aggregation layers needing chassis-based switching Standardized rack builds where power and cooling are specified separately Why This Product 1 9-slot modular chassis versus fixed-port switching 2 14RU rack footprint for structured deployments 3 No power supplies included for site-specific configuration 4 No fan tray included for custom cooling design
