Description

The Cisco NCS 540 N540X-4Z14G2Q-A is a 1RU industrial-temperature, conformal-coated IOS XR router built for 5G cell-site routing, mobile backhaul and access aggregation. It suits indoor and outdoor cabinet deployments, as well as utility, Smart Grid and other harsh-environment sites where extended temperature range and board protection matter.

The port layout is 14x 1GE SFP (including 4 combo SFP/RJ45), 4x 1/10GE SFP/SFP+ and 2x 1/10/25GE SFP28 uplinks, with forwarding performance of up to 125 Mpps. A 4-core 2GHz CPU with 8GB DRAM and 16GB eMMC storage supports the router. This AC variant uses 1+1 fixed redundant AC power supplies, 3+1 fixed redundant fans, and is rated for -40C to +70C operation at altitudes up to 300 m. Dual-AC, iTemp and conformal coating distinguish it from the DC sibling.

It runs Cisco IOS XR, first supported in release 7.4.1. Rackmount kits for 19", 23" and ETSI racks and a cable bracket are available for the AC variant, and optics follow the Cisco Optics-to-Device Compatibility Matrix.
