Benefits of ACX5400 Routers

Optimized space—The ACX5400 router has a 1 U form factor and is ideal for Ethernet service aggregation.
Its innovative design helps service providers build high-density, high-performance 100-Gigabit Ethernet
infrastructures where rack space and cooling are limited.
High performance
The 52 ports on the ACX5448 router support 10-Gbps and 100-Gbps speeds providing a total
throughput of up to 800 Gbps. The router provides full metro Ethernet and IP/MPLS VPN services in
a space-optimized platform.
The ACX5448-D router supports 10-Gigabit, 100-Gigabit, and 100G/200G dense wavelength-division
multiplexing (DWDM) ports with a system throughput of up to 800 Gbps. The innovative design of
the ACX5448-D helps service providers develop converged packet optical solutions.
Simplified network architecture— The ACX5400 line of routers simplify access and aggregation
architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers and network overlays.
Advanced security capabilities— The ACX5448-M router supports advanced security capabilities such
as Media Access Control Security (MACsec) on the 10-Gigabit or 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports to protect
against potential network vulnerabilities.

ACX5448, ACX5448-D, and ACX5448-M System Overview

The ACX5400 routers have a high-throughput Packet Forwarding Engine, and the performance of the
control plane running on ACX5400 routers is enhanced by the 1.9-Ghz six-core Intel CPU with 32-GB of
memory and two 100-GB enterprise-grade solid-state drives (SSDs) for storage.
We ship the ACX5400 routers with redundant fans and redundant power supply modules (PSMs). You
can order the routers with front-to-back airflow (airflow out or AFO) or back-to-front airflow (airflow in
or AFI), and with AC or DC PSMs.
Figure 7 on page 22 shows the important components on the front of the ACX5448 router.
