Overview
Overview
The Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet switch is an Ethernet access switch in a 1.5 RU standalone chassis. There
are two models of the Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet switch:
•ME-C6524GS-8S—This model of the Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet switch has 24 Ethernet SFP
downlink ports and 8 Ethernet SFP uplink ports. SFP transceivers must be installed in the port
sockets for the ports to be active.
•ME-C6524GT-8S—This model of the Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet switch has 24 10/100/1000
downlink ports and 8 Ethernet SFP uplink ports. Only the uplink ports require that SFP transceivers
be installed in the port sockets for the ports to be active.
Chassis features for both chassis are identified in the following three figures. Figure 1 identifies the front
panel features of the ME-C6524GS-8S chassis. Figure 2 identifies the front panel features of the
ME-C6524GT-8S chassis. Figure 3 identifies the rear panel features that are common to both chassis.
