“We are pleased to continue our long-standing collaboration with Edgecore. Broadcom’s DNX Jericho2 and Ramon are purpose-built for the Distributed Disaggregated Router model and provides a massively scalable architecture, enabling operators to address continuously expanding capacity requirements.”
The AS7926-40XKFB is a high-performance 100G deep packet buffer core router that can operate as a standalone device or be stacked with another unit to build a small core system. The AS7926-40XKFB can also be connected to Edgecore’s AS9926-24D Fabric switches to create a 96Tbps Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) router. This scalable and flexible system provides high throughput and efficient traffic management to eliminate network bottlenecks.
The AS7926-40XKFB is powered by Broadcom’s StrataDNX Jericho2 ASIC and delivers non-blocking line-rate performance across forty 100G Ethernet interfaces and thirteen fabric interfaces. The NEBS3 compliant AS7926-40XKFB is a thermally efficient design with redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans and supports telecom grade timing and synchronization. The chassis is more compact than competing solutions allowing for more versatile deployment options and easier installation.
