Cisco NCS540 24x110G Router | 100G QSFP28, Enterprise — SD-AR3K-NC55F554

Move large volumes of traffic with a Cisco NCS540 platform configured for high-density transport and aggregation. With 24 x 110G, 8 x 110/25G SFP/SFP28, and 2 x 100G QSFP28 interfaces, this model is built for environments where interface mix and port density directly affect network design. It fits infrastructure teams that need to consolidate high-speed links without sacrificing flexibility at the edge of the core. The combination of 110G, 25G, and 100G connectivity supports architectures that must carry heavy east-west and north-south traffic while preserving room for growth. For enterprise buyers, this is the kind of platform that justifies itself through scale and interface economics. It is not about basic connectivity; it is about building a transport layer that can absorb demand, simplify aggregation, and support higher-capacity network plans with fewer chassis and fewer compromises. Ideal For Core aggregation for high-capacity enterprise networks Transport layer deployment with mixed 25G and 100G optics Data center edge routing with dense uplink requirements Backbone expansion where port density and speed are critical Why This Product 1 Higher interface density than entry-level enterprise routers 2 Built for transport and aggregation rather than branch routing 3 Supports mixed 25G, 100G, and 110G connectivity 4 Better fit for backbone scale and optical planning
