Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series 8S4X Edge Router C8500L-8S4X

Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series C8500L-8S4X

The Cisco Catalyst® C8500L-8S4X is a high-performance edge router designed for demanding enterprise and service provider deployments, delivering carrier-class routing capabilities in a compact 1RU form factor. As the flagship model of the Catalyst 8500 Series, it combines eight 10G/25G SFP28 ports with four 40G/100G QSFP28 uplinks to support high-density WAN aggregation and 5G mobile backhaul scenarios while enabling seamless cloud connectivity.

Built for next-generation networks, the C8500L-8S4X provides hyperscale routing performance with support for up to one million IPv4 routes, advanced network slicing for multi-service isolation, and 100G-ready interfaces for future-proof SD-WAN deployments. Its optimized architecture delivers wire-speed encryption and low-latency forwarding, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications and large-scale edge implementations requiring carrier-grade reliability.
