5164

Ciena’s 5164 is a hardened, dual-redundant–powered, MEF 3.0–compliant, 800 Gb/s router. As a compact 1RU power-efficient access and aggregation device, it offers 32 ports of 1/10/25GbE—all of which support Ethernet, eCPRI, and XGS-PON and are 25GS-PON ready— with 4 x 100/200GbE fixed ports, including support of coherent WaveLogic 5 Nano (WL5n) pluggable optics. Its flexibility sets a new benchmark for broadband, 5G, and enterprise use cases, all on a common infrastructure.

Features and benefits

  1. Temperature-hardened (-40°C to +65°C) for temperature-challenged or space-constrained locations

  2. 32 x 1/10/25GbE and 4 x 100/200GbE fixed ports

  3. Carrier Ethernet, IP routing, SR-MPLS, and SRv6

  4. Service isolation using FlexEthernet (FlexE)

  5. Rich timing and synchronization

  6. Hardware-assisted routing and switching OAM scaled to deliver 25GbE services with guaranteed SLA differentiation
