Why Choose This Product?

• Mixed-speed port flexibility — 1G, 10G and 25G support lets buyers accommodate existing services while introducing faster aggregation links.
• Dense 1RU footprint — The compact chassis is useful for metro, edge and provider locations where rack space is limited.
• Dual AC power — Redundant AC power supports higher availability and avoids making the router dependent on one power source.
• 25G-ready aggregation — Two 10/25G interfaces provide a higher-speed tier for uplinks and network modernization.
• Conformal-coated iTEMP configuration — Provides a model specifically identified for temperature/environmentally demanding deployment requirements. 
• Cisco IOS XR ecosystem — Gives service-provider teams a familiar operating environment and routing feature set across compatible Cisco infrastructure.
• Modern routing capabilities — SR-MPLS and SRv6 support help organizations build networks capable of modern traffic engineering and IPv6-based architectures. Procurement precision — The exact N540X-4Z14G2Q-A PID distinguishes this Dual-AC configuration from the otherwise similar N540X-4Z14G2Q-D Dual-DC model.
