Benefits of ACX7000 Family of Routers

  • Modular and compact designs—Includes a range of fixed and modular platforms, optimized for access, aggregation, and metro core applications.

  • High-port density and throughput—Port speed flexibility with support for 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) through 400GbE, providing the scale needed for modern traffic demands.

  • Next-generation capabilities—Support for next-generation protocols including segment routing, segment routing for IPv6 (SRv6), MPLS, and Ethernet VPN—Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN).

  • Advanced timing features—Class C and Class D timing capabilities for low-latency 5G services.

  • Zero-trust security—Cryptographically bound and tamper-proof device identity that cannot be forged or replicated by hackers.
