Description
The Cisco 8818-SYS is an 18-slot modular router chassis from the Cisco 8800 Series, engineered for ultra-high-capacity core, peering, and data center interconnect deployments. Designed to scale with today’s most demanding networks, the 8818-SYS delivers massive throughput, deep buffers, and carrier-grade reliability in a fully modular architecture.
Built around Cisco Silicon One and Cisco IOS XR, the 8818-SYS supports high-density 400G and 800G line cards, redundant route processors, fabric modules, power supplies, and cooling components for nonstop operation. Its orthogonal design and hot-swappable components enable simplified maintenance, seamless upgrades, and long-term investment protection.
Ideal for service providers, hyperscalers, and large enterprises, the Cisco 8818-SYS provides the scale, performance, and resilience required for next-generation IP transport networks.
