Increase backplane in C6506

[lps05073]

I have 32 Gbps in backplane and I need increase to 128 Gbps and other device a 256 Gbps.

I buy WS-C6500-SFM or not.

What can do ??

Correct. However, all linecards in the switch need to be fabric enabled otherwise the switch will revert back to the backplane bus i.e 32Gbps. Additionally, the the Switch Fabric Module requires a Supervisor Engine 2.
