Product overview
The Cisco Catalyst 6500-E 9-Slot Switch chassis (EOL) is supplied under part number WS-C6509-E. A switch is rarely the whole order: optics, breakout cables, the right power orientation and a rail kit all have to arrive with it. Send the topology and we will quote the complete bill of materials.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against WS-C6509-E specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.

No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is WS-C6509-E genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the Cisco warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will WS-C6509-E work in my server?
- Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
