ACX5448-R-DC-AFO

ACX5448, ACX5448-D, and ACX5448-M System Overview

The ACX5400 routers have a high-throughput Packet Forwarding Engine, and the performance of the control plane running on ACX5400 routers is enhanced by the 1.9-Ghz six-core Intel CPU with 32-GB of memory and two 100-GB enterprise-grade solid-state drives (SSDs) for storage.

We ship the ACX5400 routers with redundant fans and redundant power supply modules (PSMs). You can order the routers with front-to-back airflow (airflow out or AFO) or back-to-front airflow (airflow in or AFI), and with AC or DC PSMs.

Benefits of ACX5400 Routers

• Optimized space—The ACX5400 router has a 1 U form factor and is ideal for Ethernet service aggregation. Its innovative design helps service providers build high-density, high-performance 100-Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures where rack space and cooling are limited.

• High performance

  • The 52 ports on the ACX5448 router support 10-Gbps and 100-Gbps speeds providing a total throughput of up to 800 Gbps. The router provides full metro Ethernet and IP/MPLS VPN services in a space-optimized platform.

  • The innovative design of the ACX5448-D helps service providers develop converged packet optical solutions.

• Simplified network architecture— The ACX5400 line of routers simplify access and aggregation architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers and network overlays, resulting in significant operational savings.

• Advanced security capabilities— The ACX5448-M router supports advanced security capabilities such as Media Access Control Security (MACsec) on the 10-Gigabit or 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports to protect against potential network vulnerabilities.
