Description
The Cisco 8800 36-Port 400G QSFP56-DD Line Card with MACsec is a high-density, transport-optimized line card designed for Cisco 8800 Series modular routers. Powered by advanced silicon architecture, this line card delivers ultra-high throughput and secure, line-rate performance for core, aggregation, and high-capacity service provider networks.
Featuring 36 QSFP56-DD interfaces, the card supports up to 14.4 Tbps of total bandwidth while enabling flexible port speeds including 400G, 200G, and 100G. Integrated MACsec support on all 36 ports provides hardware-based encryption for secure data transport without sacrificing performance. Built for carrier-class environments, the line card supports deep buffering, routed optical networking, and high-availability architectures to meet the demands of modern IP and optical networks.
