Cisco 8200 32x400G QSFPDD 1RU Fixed System | Layer 3, Enterprise, Rack Mount — SD-AR3K-820132FH

Consolidate high-speed connectivity into a compact 1RU platform with the Cisco 8200 fixed system configured for 32 x 400G QSFPDD. This is the kind of hardware procurement teams choose when port density, rack efficiency, and routing scale need to move together. The value is in the form factor as much as the interface count. A fixed system reduces design complexity, shortens deployment decisions, and gives network architects a predictable building block for aggregation, edge routing, or high-capacity interconnect roles. In environments where every rack unit is accounted for, that matters. With 400G-class interfaces, the platform is suited to modern backbone and data center designs that need to absorb growth without multiplying chassis footprint. It is a strong fit for teams standardizing on compact, high-throughput infrastructure and looking to avoid the overhead of larger modular systems when a fixed configuration is enough. Choose it when you need density, speed, and a disciplined hardware profile that supports long-term network planning. Ideal For High-density data center aggregation at 400G speeds Compact Layer 3 routing in space-constrained racks Backbone interconnect deployment for enterprise campuses Network standardization where fixed systems are preferred over modular chassis Why This Product 1 32 x 400G QSFPDD ports deliver far higher density than lower-speed edge platforms 2 1RU fixed design preserves rack space in dense deployments 3 Layer 3 class routing fits aggregation and backbone roles 4 Fixed architecture simplifies planning versus modular chassis systems
