Cisco 8000 32 x 100G QSFP28 Router

Keep pace with backbone growth using the Cisco 8000 32 x 100G QSFP28 platform with Cisco XR. This routing platform is built for environments that need dense 100G connectivity and the operational model of Cisco XR, making it a strong fit for core, aggregation, and high-capacity transport designs. The value here is density with discipline. Thirty-two 100G QSFP28 interfaces create room for serious traffic engineering, while the Cisco XR software family is known for carrier-grade routing operations and service-provider control. That combination matters when you are consolidating links, building scale-out cores, or designing a network that must absorb growth without constant forklift changes. This is not a branch router and not a commodity edge appliance. It is the kind of platform chosen when port count, forwarding scale, and routing consistency justify a higher entry point. For teams responsible for critical infrastructure, that difference is the product.
