Cisco Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-Slot Chassis 14RU | Enterprise Chassis — CON-L1NBD-N7K4S2

Design a modular switching core around the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Enhanced 9-slot chassis. This 14RU chassis is intended for enterprise environments that need a substantial hardware foundation for high-density network builds, migration projects, or controlled refresh programs. Because it JTFps without power supplies or a fan tray, it gives architects flexibility to specify the exact power and cooling configuration required by the deployment. That flexibility matters in real infrastructure planning. Teams can align the chassis with existing spares, standardize on preferred power modules, or stage a phased build-out without paying for components that are not needed at purchase time. For procurement, that can simplify budgeting on large refreshes. For operations, it supports a more deliberate system design where airflow, redundancy, and power architecture are selected to match the site. The Catalyst 6500 family has long been associated with demanding enterprise network roles, and this enhanced chassis continues that pattern by serving as the structural base for a serious modular platform. It is a fit for organizations that value control over the final configuration and need a chassis that can support a substantial switching investment. Ideal For Building a modular enterprise core switching system Replacing an existing Catalyst 6500 chassis in a refresh project Staging a chassis-first deployment before adding power and cooling modules Standardizing rack infrastructure across data center network rows Why This Product 1 9-slot modular chassis for dense switching builds 2 14RU footprint for enterprise rack planning 3 No power supplies included for configuration flexibility 4 No fan tray included for site-specific cooling design
