Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBASD6A Cluster Router

Equipment Overview

The Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBASD6A is a carrier-grade cluster router from the NetEngine5000E series, delivered in a base configuration for the NetEngine5000E-X16A chassis with 400G DC power. This unit is packaged as a multi-chassis kit containing 12 units, designed for deployment in high-capacity core network environments. The router supports a non-blocking switching fabric and enables multi-chassis clustering to meet demanding scalability requirements. Its primary purpose is to serve as a foundational element in large-scale IP/MPLS backbone networks, providing robust data forwarding and network aggregation capabilities.

Main Parameters

• Product Code: Huawei router - CR5P5KBASD6A
• Switching Capacity: Non-blocking fabric, multi-chassis support
