CS84-128Q1A

400G Ultra High-Bandwidth Switch

Overview

The CS84-128Q1A is a purpose-built 400GbE Ethernet switch, optimized for spine/leaf deployment in hyperscale datacenter networks.

Housed in a 4RU chassis, this high-density platform provides 128 × 400GbE QSFP112 ports (supporting 400G/200G/100G flexibility) and achieves up to 102.4 Tbps non-blocking switching capacity with full L2/L3 functionality.

Pre-installed with ONIE, the CS84-128Q1A supports open-source SONIC and multiple commercial NOS options for diverse datacenter environments.
