PRODUCT BULLETIN NO. 1931
END-OF-SALE AND END-OF-LIFE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE
CISCO CATALYST 5000 AND 5500 SERIES
Cisco Systems announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for the Cisco Catalyst®5000 and 5500 series of modular
switches, including all related Cisco Catalyst 5000 and 5500 series chassis and modules. The Cisco Catalyst 5000 and 5500
series chassis and modules will be orderable through June 30, 2003.
For those Cisco Catalyst 5000 and 5500 series customers who need to purchase Catalyst 5000 and 5500 series modules after the end-of-sale date,
Cisco Systems Capital offers refurbished equipment through Cisco authorized resellers. Cisco Systems will continue to offer technical support on
the Cisco Catalyst 5000 and 5500 series software for three years and on the hardware for five years after the end-of-sale date, through June 2008.
Table 1 describes the end-of-life milestones, definitions, and dates for the Cisco Catalyst 5000 and 5500 Series. Table 2 lists the product part
numbers affected by this announcement and relevant information for migrating to the replacement product.
Customers planning new deployments should consider the award-winning Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series or the new Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series of
modular multilayer switches. These next-generation multilayer modular switches offer higher performance and greater port density, and support
a more robust set of technologies required by many Web-enabled applications, and the convergence of voice, video.
For those Cisco Catalyst 5000 and 5500 series customers considering an upgrade to Cisco Catalyst 6500 or Catalyst 4500 series, Cisco offers
numerous incentives and support programs intended to make it even easier to migrate now. Contact your Cisco sales representative or Cisco

* In some cases, a Cisco Catalyst 6500 or Catalyst 4500 series chassis with a fewer number of slots may support an equivalent number of ports because of the
higher port density of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Catalyst 4500 series and slot-efficient module/line-card options. The Cisco Catalyst 6500 and Catalyst 4500
series offer multiple power supply options to support a variety of power requirements that are dependent on selection of modules, number of IP phones supported
with inline power, and redundant or load-sharing power systems. Consult the data sheet for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series and Catalyst 4500 Series and your
Cisco sales representative for additional information.
