Description
The Cisco NCS 5508 Modular Chassis is a high-performance, carrier-class routing platform designed for large-scale WAN aggregation, service provider core, and data center interconnect environments. Built for scalability and longevity, the NCS 5508 delivers massive throughput with support for 100G and 400G interfaces while maintaining operational efficiency and redundancy.
With up to eight line card slots and a fully distributed fabric architecture, the NCS 5508 enables non-blocking performance, predictable latency, and seamless expansion as network demands grow. Redundant route processors, system controllers, fabric cards, fan trays, and power supplies ensure continuous operation in mission-critical deployments. Running Cisco IOS XR, the platform supports advanced routing, automation, telemetry, and service provider features required for modern IP networks.
