BlackDiamond 6808 and 6816 Switches
The BlackDiamond 6808 and 6816 chassis are uniquely designed with
carrier-class fault tolerance for IP data networks that require the
highest level of availability as well as scalability from 10/100BASE-T
to 1 Gigabit and Ten Gigabit Ethernet. Both switches provide wire-speed
Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching for consistent performance regardless of
traffic patterns or network load.
BlackDiamond 6808
- The
BlackDiamond 6808 supports up to 64 Gigabit Ethernet ports when
populated with the 8-port G8Xi or G8Ti modules, and 96 Gigabit
Ethernet ports when populated with the G12SXi module.
- The
BlackDiamond 6808 supports a maximum of 768 10/100 Mbps ports when
fully populated with the F96Ti, or 224 100BASE-FX ports with fully
populated with the F32F module.

6816 (Picture)
- The
BlackDiamond 6816 leads the industry in density with up to 192
Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single chassis.
- The
BlackDiamond 6816 supports a maximum of 1,152 10/100BASE-TX ports
when fully populated with the F96Ti. In addition, when fully
populated with the F48Ti,the BlackDiamond chassis will accommodate a
maximum of 576 10/100BASE-TX ports, or 448 100BASE-FX ports when
fully populated with the F32F module.
- The
BlackDiamond 6816 supports a maximum of 128 Gigabit Ethernet ports
when fully populated with the G8Xi and G8Ti modules, or 192 Gigabit
Ethernet ports when fully populated with the G12SXi modules.
