SD-WAN · Integrated Security · WAN Edge
Intelligent WAN connectivity with security built in from the start. The Catalyst 8300 is Cisco’s enterprise edge platform that collapses traditional WAN router, firewall, and SD-WAN controller functions into a single, programmable appliance. Cisco IOS XE’s software-defined capabilities allow centralized policy management across all WAN edge locations, enabling consistent security policies and application-aware routing from headquarters to the smallest branch. With integrated hardware security acceleration, it delivers firewall, intrusion prevention, and SSL inspection without impacting WAN throughput.

Cisco Catalyst 8300 Modular Router — Buy with Direct China Supply
Cisco Catalyst 8300 (Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms) is a line of
high-performance modular enterprise-class routers designed to replace the popular Cisco ISR 4400
series. The platform is specifically engineered for deploying Catalyst SD-WAN
software-defined networks, secure cloud connectivity, and integrating high-speed
5G/LTE interfaces in medium and large branch offices. The devices run on the
unified Cisco IOS XE operating system and support hardware encryption acceleration.
Use Cases
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 modular router is the optimal solution for organizations requiring:
- Building resilient SD-WAN networks in branches with high throughput
- Secure connectivity to cloud services and SaaS applications
- Integration of 5G/LTE wireless backup or primary links
- Hardware-accelerated IPsec encryption for corporate traffic protection
Key Benefits
Modular architecture and investment protection
SM (Service Module), NIM (Network Interface Module), and
PIM (Pluggable Interface Module) slots ensure backward compatibility with modules
from previous ISR series. Ethernet switching, voice interfaces (FXO/FXS, DSP), and Cisco UCS-E
compute blades are supported.
5G readiness
The dedicated PIM slot enables direct connection of swappable 5G Sub-6 GHz or
LTE Advanced Pro cellular modems, forming reliable backup or primary wireless
branch connectivity.
Multi-layer security
Integrated next-generation firewall (NGFW), intrusion prevention systems (IPS),
streaming antivirus (AMP), and URL filtering. Security management is unified through Catalyst
SD-WAN Manager.
Carrier-class reliability
All models come with dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies (AC, DC, PoE).
M.2 NVMe SSD support up to 2 TB for local container deployment.
