Description
The Cisco 8201-SYS is a high-performance, fixed-system router designed for modern data centers and service provider networks requiring ultra-low latency and high throughput. Housed in a compact 1RU form factor, it features a robust design optimized for space-constrained environments while delivering powerful routing capabilities. It supports 10/25/40/100GbE interfaces and is built around Cisco’s Silicon One Q200 ASIC, enabling up to 10.8 Tbps of total system bandwidth. With redundant power supplies and fan trays, the system ensures high availability and reliability for mission-critical applications.
This model includes 24 QSFP-DD ports, enabling flexible connectivity options and high-density aggregation. It runs Cisco’s IOS XR operating system, offering advanced routing features, strong security, and programmability through model-driven APIs. Ideal for core, edge, or peering deployments, the 8201-SYS supports a wide range of protocols including BGP, OSPF, and Segment Routing. Buyers of used units will appreciate its solid construction, modular components, and long operational lifecycle, making it a cost-effective solution for scaling network infrastructure.
