Product Overview

The Cisco 8201 is a space-efficient 1RU router engineered for advanced enterprise or carrier-grade network infrastructures. It provides ultra-high-speed wired connectivity with 8 QSFP56-DD ports supporting 400GbE and 24 QSFP28 ports for 100GbE, making it ideal for modern data centers and aggregation layers in service provider networks. With a total port count of 37, this unit ensures flexible deployment and easy adaptation to evolving bandwidth demands.

Powered by an Intel Broadwell 4-core 2.4 GHz processor and equipped with 32 GB of DRAM, the router efficiently handles heavy access and transport layer traffic. Connectivity is enhanced by an auxiliary set of interfaces, including 1GbE management, USB 2.0, and a standard RS-232 console. Operating within a 0 to 40°C temperature range and supporting humidity conditions up to 95% non-condensing, it is robust enough for varied deployment scenarios. Its TAA compliance and country of origin (Mexico) further support procurement flexibility in regulated environments.

With only 205W power consumption and a compact 17.3-inch width design, the Cisco 8201 delivers powerful performance in a low-power, rack-efficient form factor, providing a strong ROI for high-capacity networking applications.
