C8300-1N1S-4T2X Description
The Cisco C8300-1N1S-4T2X is a high-performance, cloud-edge router designed for enterprise branches requiring multigigabit WAN connectivity. Unlike standard Gigabit models, this 1RU platform integrates two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports directly onto the chassis, making it the ideal choice for locations with high-speed fiber internet or heavy aggregation needs.
Powered by a multicore architecture, it delivers up to 19.7 Gbps forwarding throughput and 6.6 Gbps of IPsec encryption performance. It combines SD-WAN intelligence, advanced security, and edge compute capabilities into a compact footprint, supporting modular expansion via Service Module (SM) and Network Interface Module (NIM) slots to adapt to evolving business requirements.

Key Features
Features two built-in 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, enabling direct fiber connectivity for bandwidth-heavy branches without consuming expansion slots. This supports modern high-speed ISP links and eliminates bottlenecks for cloud applications.
Optimized for the cloud edge, delivering up to 19.7 Gbps forwarding performance. It ensures low-latency processing for thousands of SD-WAN overlay tunnels, maintaining superior user experience for voice, video, and SaaS traffic.
Integrates enterprise-grade security including Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), intrusion prevention, and URL filtering. Hardware-anchored crypto acceleration provides high-speed encryption to protect data in transit without degrading router performance.
Includes a dedicated Pluggable Interface Module (PIM) slot to support sub-6 GHz 5G and LTE CAT18 modules. This allows businesses to use cellular networks as a primary gigabit transport or a robust failover link.
Designed with backward compatibility for a wide range of existing Cisco WAN, LAN, and voice modules. The mix of SM and NIM slots allows for tailored expansion, preserving previous hardware investments while upgrading the core platform.
Edge Intelligence & Compute
Supports Cisco UCS-E compute modules to host virtualized applications and VNFs directly on the router. This “Branch-in-a-Box” capability reduces the need for separate servers, saving rack space and energy.
Application Scenarios
Ideal for regional headquarters or large branches connecting via 10G fiber circuits. The embedded SFP+ ports handle heavy data replication and cloud backups efficiently while leaving modular slots open for other services.
Serves as a secure local breakout point for SaaS applications. Its high throughput and integrated security features enable safe, direct connectivity to Microsoft 365 or Salesforce, bypassing centralized data centers to reduce latency.
Acts as a compact aggregation router for smaller campus environments. It connects downstream switches via 10G uplinks and manages WAN routing and security policies in a space-saving 1RU form factor.

Selection Guide
- Select for 10G Fiber Requirements Choose this model if your branch has a 10 Gigabit fiber uplink. It is the only 1RU model in the C8300 series with native 10G SFP+ ports, saving you the cost of an expansion module.
- Select for High Encryption Needs Ideal for sites with heavy VPN or SD-WAN traffic. It offers 6.6 Gbps of crypto throughput, making it significantly more powerful than the entry-level C8300-1N1S-6T.
- Select for Space-Constrained Racks Best for locations that need high performance and modularity (Voice/LAN/Compute) but only have 1RU of rack space available.
