Wired Router Cisco C8300-1N1S-6T Gigabit Ethernet Grey

The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platform C8300-1N1S-6T is a wired Gigabit Ethernet router designed for enterprise branch offices. Powered by Cisco IOS XE with SD‑WAN capabilities, it combines high WAN IPSec performance, multiple interface options, and a programmable software architecture. The device supports broad WAN, LAN and voice modules, offers a redundant power supply capability, and includes a 16 GB SSD for storage. Built-in Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 features provide platform integrity verification and remediation to protect against threats and vulnerabilities.

Advantages

The C8300-1N1S-6T delivers secure, cloud-scale SD‑WAN services integrated with routing and security functions, enabling automated deployments and zero-touch provisioning through APIs and a programmable IOS XE platform. It offers higher WAN port density, support for IPv4/IPv6 access control lists, and compatibility with common networking standards (IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.3ah). The platform’s modular design allows selection of different WAN/LAN/voice modules to match branch requirements.

Suitable for

• Medium and large enterprise branch offices
• Sites requiring high WAN IPSec throughput and SD‑WAN services
• Environments needing redundant power and modular interface options
• Deployments that use IPv4/IPv6 with advanced access control lists
