Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBTBA62 Cluster Router

Equipment Overview

The Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBTBA62 is a cluster router from the NetEngine5000E series, designed for service provider and large enterprise core networks. This unit corresponds to the NetEngine5000E-X16A 400G (BTB) base configuration with AC power supply. The primary purpose of the device is to deliver high-capacity routing and switching in multi-chassis environments, supporting heavy traffic aggregation and forwarding. It is engineered for deployment in data centers and backbone networks requiring continuous operation and scalability.

Main Parameters

• Product Code: Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBTBA62
• System Throughput: 819 Tbit/s maximum, supporting 64 chassis (400G architecture)
• Non-blocking Switching Fabric: Yes, with multi-chassis support
• Port Throughput: 15 Tbit/s per single chassis (480G line rate)
• Slots: 16 slots per single chassis
• Chassis Type: NetEngine5000E-X16A 400G (BTB), base AC configuration
• Form Factor: Cluster router for modular expansion

Key Advantages

The CR5P5KBTBA62 is selected for enterprise and carrier-grade projects due to its industry-leading aggregate capacity, which allows seamless scaling from a single chassis to a 64-chassis cluster without performance degradation. The non-blocking switching fabric ensures deterministic latency and zero packet loss under full load, a critical requirement for core networks. Its 16-slot architecture provides high density for line cards and flexible service deployment.

Compatibility & Integration

The router supports multi-chassis clustering, enabling operators to build a unified routing domain across multiple physical units. It is designed for integration with existing Huawei NetEngine5000E family components and adheres to standard telecom rack mounting interfaces. The AC power configuration makes it suitable for facilities with standard power distribution without additional DC conversion infrastructure.
