C8140-G2 Description
The C8140-G2 is a Cisco 8100 Series Secure Router for fanless small-branch sites with many wired devices. The router has two 1GE RJ-45/SFP combo WAN ports, two Flex ports and six LAN ports, with 5.6 Gbps of forwarding, 1.5 Gbps of IPsec across 250 tunnels and a 66W external supply. SD-WAN runs from Cisco IOS XE 26.2.1 at 900 Mbps, no Threat Protection throughput is published, and the chassis has no cellular option or NIM and SM bay.

Product Performance
Key Features
Two combo WAN ports, two Flex ports and six LAN ports give ten 1GE positions on one chassis. Eight are RJ-45 and two are RJ-45/SFP combo.
Forwarding is 5.6 Gbps at 512 bytes, with 1.5 Gbps of IPsec and 250 IPsec tunnels. A multi-gigabit internet circuit can be routed without the chassis becoming the limit.
Each WAN port accepts either an RJ-45 cable or an SFP, so the media for each circuit is decided at install time.
Autonomous routing starts at Cisco IOS XE 17.18.1, and SD-WAN is supported from 26.2.1 at 900 Mbps. No Threat Protection throughput is published.
The base 8100 scale tier applies: 280K IPv4 routes, 260K IPv6 routes, 2K ACLs, 5K ACEs and 100K NAT sessions.
The chassis measures 1.09 x 6.9 x 12.7 in and weighs 3.57 lb, drawing 20W typical from a 66W external supply. Mounting options are rack, desktop, under desk, DIN-rail or wall.
Application Scenarios
A small office connects printers, phones and desktops directly to the six LAN ports, with the two Flex ports available for further local devices.
A branch with two internet circuits lands one on each RJ-45/SFP combo WAN port, using copper for one and fibre for the other, and routes between them at up to 5.6 Gbps.
Where a fast internet circuit terminates in an occupied room, the fanless chassis forwards 5.6 Gbps of 512-byte traffic without fan noise.

C8140-G2 and C8130-G2 share the 280K IPv4 route and 1K VRF tier and both reach SD-WAN only from Cisco IOS XE 26.2.1, but C8140-G2 forwards 5.6 Gbps against 1.9 Gbps and has six LAN ports against two, at 20W of typical draw against 16W. A branch that needs more than two LAN ports or a circuit above 1.9 Gbps therefore needs this model. A site that needs SD-WAN before 26.2.1, 1 Gbps of Threat Protection, 500K routes with 4K VRFs, or an optional pluggable LTE or 5G module moves to C8151-G2, which keeps the 5.6 Gbps of forwarding in a 5.1 lb body against 3.57 lb and draws 23W.
