There is also the 6509-V-E chassis (which kinda looks like the Nexus only less shiny) that supposedly offers 80Gbps/slot (which is not exactly what you are looking for I guess but still might be worth investigating). http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/data_sh eet_cisco_catalyst_6509_enhanced_vertical_chassis_ps708_Products_Data_Sh eet.html

Cisco are currently positioning the CRS-1 as a 100Gbps/slot solution. The issue here would be (tri-speed) port density if you want to carry trunks and customers in the same chassis. > and 7600/6500 would have it. 6500 and 7600 currently have 40Gbps/slot support (2x 20Gbps channels on the SUP720/RSP720). There are plans for additional switch fabric capacity per slot, but not 100Gbps. Again, if you want that, Cisco recommend migrating to the CRS-1. With any luck, there will be a product to fill this gap in the future. Else, you would probably need to consider other vendors.
