The Cisco WS-X5236-FX-MT is a 24-port 100BaseFX Fast Ethernet switch module for the Catalyst 5000/5500 Series modular chassis, with hardware support for Fast EtherChannel (FEC) and Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) queuing. It installs in a Catalyst 5000-family chassis alongside the Supervisor Engine to add high-density fibre port capacity, which made it a common choice for fibre-connected server farms or backbone-facing wiring closets built on the 5000 platform during its production run. FEC support lets several of its ports be bonded into a single logical link for extra bandwidth or resilience between switches, while WRED helps manage congestion on oversubscribed uplinks. This is a routine spare for existing Catalyst 5000/5500 deployments still in service, whether replacing a failed module or adding fibre port density to an installed chassis. Confirm chassis and Supervisor Engine compatibility before ordering. This is a refurbished unit, shipped worldwide from Tech-Star’s UK stock.
