About the Cisco 8608 400G MPA - 4 x 400G

Cisco 8608 400G MPA - 4 x 400G is a Cisco modular port adapter engineered for maximum throughput on the 8608 platform. Purpose-built for carrier-grade and hyperscale core switching requiring ultra-high-speed interconnection.

Key Features:

  • 4 ports × 400G = 1.6 Tbps full-duplex bandwidth per adapter
  • Coherent optics support for long-distance high-speed transmission
  • Ultra-low latency, non-blocking fabric architecture
  • Field-replaceable optics for 400G-LR4, 400G-ZR, and 400G-DR4 modules
  • Advanced telemetry and per-port performance monitoring

Ideal for:

  • Data center core and spine switching fabrics
  • Hyperscale cloud and content delivery networks
  • Submarine and long-haul backbone interconnections
  • Financial institutions requiring massive inter-data-center bandwidth
