CISCO7606-S Cisco 7606-S Chassis High-Performance 6-Slot Modular Routing Chassis for Scalable WAN and Edge Deployments The Cisco 7606-S Modular Router Chassis (CISCO7606-S) is a high-performance, carrier-class edge and aggregation routing platform designed for service provider and large enterprise WAN environments. As part of the proven Cisco 7600 Series, the 7606-S delivers modular scalability, advanced routing services, and high availability to support demanding applications such as MPLS, VPN, Metro Ethernet, and broadband aggregation. Built on a 6-slot modular architecture, the Cisco 7606-S supports two supervisor/route processor slots and four line card slots, enabling flexible deployment of LAN, WAN, and service modules. With a 720 Gbps switching fabric and system bandwidth, the chassis provides robust throughput and investment protection as network demands grow. Compatibility with Supervisor 720, RSP720, and Supervisor 2T allows organizations to scale performance and feature sets based on operational requirements. Running Cisco IOS Software, the 7606-S supports a wide range of advanced networking capabilities, including IPv4/IPv6 routing, MPLS, policy-based routing, NetFlow, and integrated security services (with appropriate modules). Redundant supervisors, power supplies, and fan trays ensure carrier-grade reliability and nonstop operations in mission-critical deployments. Designed in a 12RU rack-mountable form factor, the Cisco 7606-S features integrated high-speed cooling and supports AC or DC power options, making it suitable for both data center and central office environments. Comprehensive management via CLI, SNMP, SSH, RMON, and NetFlow provides full visibility and control over network performance and health. With its combination of modular flexibility, high throughput, and proven Cisco reliability, the Cisco 7606-S remains a solid choice for organizations requiring a scalable edge router for service provider and enterprise WAN infrastructures.
