About the Cisco cBR-8 CBR-PEM-AC-6M Cisco cBR-8 converged broadband router
The Cisco cBR-8 CBR-PEM-AC-6M AC Power Entry Module delivers carrier-grade high availability through hot-swappable redundant power modules supporting N+1 power redundancy, ensuring continuous operation even during planned or unplanned power component failures. Network engineers and service-provider infrastructure teams depend on this architecture to minimize downtime at headend, hub site, and central office deployments where service continuity is non-negotiable.
The CBR-PEM-AC-6M is a purpose-built AC power entry module engineered for the Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Router chassis. As a critical component of Cisco's converged CMTS platform with distributed MAC and PHY capability and Remote PHY readiness, this module integrates seamlessly with the multi-slot modular, rack-mountable chassis architecture. The module supports the full routing protocol stack—BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, and VRF—at the platform level via Cisco IOS-XE, alongside DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 cable access standards. Management flexibility includes Cisco IOS-XE CLI, NETCONF/YANG, SNMP, and Cisco Prime Cable Provisioning integration, giving operations teams multiple pathways for automation and monitoring. Combined with redundant supervisors, redundant fan trays, and the redundant power entry module design, the cBR-8 ecosystem delivers the high availability features required by modern service-provider networks.
