Cisco C8300-2N2S-4T2X Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Router, 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet, 2-Port 10G, NIB

The Cisco Catalyst 8300 C8300-2N2S-4T2X is a high-performance, 5G-ready edge platform purpose-built for medium to large enterprise branch offices requiring high WAN IPsec performance with integrated SD-WAN services. This 2RU rack-mountable router combines 4x Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2x 10-Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+) ports, delivering robust throughput to support demanding branch operations, including up to 19.7 Gbps of IPv4 forwarding performance. Built on Cisco IOS XE, the C8300-2N2S-4T2X operates in both traditional routing mode and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN mode, giving IT teams the flexibility to modernize their WAN at their own pace. With two SM slots and two NIM slots, this platform offers expanded modularity for additional Ethernet, cellular/5G, voice, and WAN acceleration modules — more expansion capacity than its 1RU counterparts. It ships with 8GB DRAM and 16GB of M.2 SSD storage by default, and supports a redundant power supply for added reliability. Designed for secure, cloud-scale connectivity, the C8300-2N2S-4T2X delivers multi-layer security, Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA), and Cisco Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 for integrity verification and threat remediation — along with a clear migration path to Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures. It's well suited for larger branch deployments needing higher port density, additional expansion slots, and power redundancy beyond what a 1RU platform can offer. This unit has been professionally refurbished and fully tested to ensure reliable performance, offering significant savings over new equipment without compromising on quality or capability.
