uCPE

The Cisco Catalyst ™8300 Series Edge Universal Customer Premises Equipment (uCPE) is a purpose-built

x86 platform that is designed for branch virtualization. It enables device consolidation across network and

security functions, improves operational flexibility and service agility, simplifies network operations, and

results in reduced deployment times and fewer truck rolls for delivery of add-on services.

Hardware Features

•USB-A 3.0 and Micro-USB Console port:You can use this port to connect a mouse, keyboard, or any

other USB device. Using a USB hub, you can connect more than one USB device to this port. Because

this port is backward compatible, you can also use an older version of USB devices on this port.

•Front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports: There are 4 SFP ports and 4 Copper ports (GE0 supports 802.3bt

POE standard and UPOE+ PD if compliant with 802.3bt).

•M.2 storage module: This is a high capacity storage component. The OS is installable in this module.

The storage capacity of this module is upgradeable. The storage capacity is 75GB USB M.2 or 600GB

NVME M.2 or 2TB NVME M.2.

•CPU: Ice Lake 20-core HCC with all core turbo frequency of 2.5 GHz, D2796NFT base frequency is 2

GHz and max turbo frequency of 3.1 GHz.

•Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs): Stores the running configuration and routing tables and is

used for packet buffering by the network interfaces.

• Supports maximum of 128 GB of main memory with 4 x 32 GB DDR4

DIMMs.

• Four DIMM slots, numbered from 0 to 3 with a frequency of 3200 MHz .

• Uses DDR4 DIMMs for the main memory.

• Memory DIMM combinations allowed: 1 x 32GB, 2 x 16GB, 2 x 32GB, 4

x 16GB, 4 x 32GB.

Note

•Network Interface Module (NIM): The device supports one NIM when you need additional ports. See,

data sheet for supported NIMs.

•Pluggable Interface Module (PIM): The device supports one PIM for cellular connectivity. See data

sheet for supported PIMs.

For proper thermal functioning of the system, all module slots or optional

components (PIM, NIM, E1.S, M.2 and U.2) that do not have a functional module

installed must be provisioned with a blank filler.

Note

Status Indicators and LEDs for Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The front panel Gigabit Ethernet ports has eight ports: four RJ45 ports and four SFP ports.
