C8300-1N1S-6T is a Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Router built for 1G WAN edge deployments in a compact 1RU chassis. The platform is modular, with 1 Service Module slot, 1 Network Interface Module slot, and 1 Pluggable Interface Module slot for selected expansion rather than preinstalled add-on modules. Six embedded 1G Layer 3 Ethernet ports provide the fixed wired WAN or LAN interface base, with no integrated Wi-Fi radio or built-in cellular modem. Cisco positions the Catalyst 8300 family for enterprise branch routing, secure WAN, and Catalyst SD-WAN deployments using Cisco IOS XE. C8300-1N1S-4T2X is the closest 1RU sibling and differs with 2 x 10G plus 4 x 1G embedded Ethernet ports instead of six 1G ports.
Up to 19.7 Gbps of IPv4 forwarding throughput carries autonomous IOS XE routing workloads in the documented 1400-byte test condition. Up to 2 Gbps of Catalyst SD-WAN IPsec throughput applies with 1400-byte packets, while IMIX SD-WAN IPsec performance is listed at 1.8 Gbps. Six embedded 1G Ethernet ports support routed WAN or LAN designs, and the platform supports protocols including OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS, RIP, LISP, MPLS, HSRP, GRE, IPsec, and Layer 2 or Layer 3 VPN. C8300-1N1S-6T includes 8 GB default DRAM, 16 GB default M.2 USB storage, and integrated 8 GB onboard flash. Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.3.2 is the minimum software release, with management through CLI, SNMP, NETCONF, Cisco DNA Center, or Catalyst SD-WAN Manager depending on deployment mode.
C8300-1N1S-6T sits at the branch WAN edge, where it terminates 1G transport links, separates service-side and transport-side routing, and runs SD-WAN overlay or autonomous routing policy from a single rack-mounted platform. The 1RU form factor fits standard network racks, while modular NIM, SM, and PIM bays leave room for Ethernet, LTE, 5G, voice, or service expansion selected for the site design. ORM Systems supplies this router in new and certified refurbished condition, with full boot checks, interface testing, chassis inspection, slot verification, and software image review before dispatch. Request a quote for the required chassis condition, licenses, modules, power, rack kit, and delivery schedule. Volume procurement support is available for branch refreshes, staged rollouts, and spare-router inventory.
C8300-1N1S-6T price is $4,479.00, a 65.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $12,978.00. C8300-1N1S-6T is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

C8300-1N1S-6T sits at the branch WAN edge and terminates carrier Ethernet, broadband, or routed handoffs on six embedded 1G Layer 3 Ethernet ports. Engineers map transports into separate routing instances, apply QoS and NAT policies, and build encrypted SD-WAN or IPsec overlays from the same 1RU platform. The 1 SM, 1 NIM, and 1 PIM slot layout leaves room for selected expansion without moving to a 2RU chassis. The network gains a compact edge router with predictable 1G transport separation.
The router operates as a Catalyst SD-WAN edge device under Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN, where templates define VPN segmentation, application-aware routing, tunnel policy, and transport preference. C8300-1N1S-6T uses its six 1G Ethernet ports to separate service-side and transport-side connectivity while supporting SD-WAN IPsec throughput up to 2 Gbps with 1400-byte packets. Operations teams manage policy through Catalyst SD-WAN Manager rather than per-site manual changes. The network gains centrally governed branch routing with consistent overlay behavior.
The platform anchors branch services where the base router needs fixed 1G routed ports plus controlled expansion. Engineers place C8300-1N1S-6T in a 1RU rack position, reserve the NIM slot for Ethernet, LTE, or WAN interface expansion, and reserve the SM slot for service modules aligned to the site design. The six embedded ports handle core routed handoffs while modules add only the interfaces the branch requires. The network gains modular service growth without replacing the WAN edge chassis.

C8300 identifies the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Edge Platform family. The 1N1S section indicates one NIM slot and one SM slot, while 6T identifies the six 1G Ethernet port configuration. For buyers comparing Catalyst 8300 routers, C8300-1N1S-6T is the compact 1RU model focused on 1G WAN edge connectivity.
C8300-1N1S-6T is an enterprise edge router, not a standalone access switch. It provides embedded Layer 3 Ethernet ports and supports routing, SD-WAN, IPsec, QoS, NAT, firewall features, and application visibility through Cisco IOS XE. Switching expansion is handled through supported NIM or SM modules rather than fixed access switch ports.
C8300-1N1S-6T sits in the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms lineup, above smaller branch router classes and alongside other C8300 models with different slot and port layouts. It is designed for medium and large branch WAN edge roles where Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, secure routing, and modular expansion are required.
C8300-1N1S-6T has six embedded 1G Ethernet ports. Cisco describes these as embedded Layer 3 Ethernet ports for WAN or LAN use, depending on the platform configuration and network design. Additional Ethernet density can be added through supported Cisco NIM and SM modules when the branch design needs more interfaces.
C8300-1N1S-6T supports up to 2 Gbps Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN IPsec throughput with 1400-byte packets and 1.8 Gbps SD-WAN IPsec throughput with IMIX traffic. In autonomous mode, Cisco lists up to 19.7 Gbps IPv4 forwarding throughput and up to 1.9 Gbps IPsec throughput with 1400-byte packets.
C8300-1N1S-6T supports major enterprise routing protocols through Cisco IOS XE, including IPv4, IPv6, static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS, RIP, multicast routing, MPLS, and Layer 2 or Layer 3 VPN features. This makes it suitable for branch edge routing, private WAN connectivity, and SD-WAN migration projects.
C8300-1N1S-6T supports IPsec and VPN services as part of Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst SD-WAN deployments. Cisco lists SD-WAN overlay tunnel scale up to 6000 tunnels for the C8300 family. It also supports cryptographic functions used in secure WAN overlays, branch segmentation, and encrypted site-to-site connectivity.
C8300-1N1S-6T supports WAN redundancy through its embedded Ethernet ports, modular NIM or PIM expansion, routing protocols, SD-WAN transport policies, and optional cellular connectivity modules. Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN designs commonly use multiple transports, such as MPLS, broadband, LTE, or 5G, to maintain branch connectivity during link failure.
C8300-1N1S-6T is managed through Cisco IOS XE tools in autonomous routing mode or through Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager in controller-based SD-WAN mode. Cisco also references Cisco DNA Center for network operations management. Smart Licensing is used for Cisco software entitlement and license visibility across the organization.
C8300-1N1S-6T is used for enterprise branch WAN edge, secure routing, SD-WAN connectivity, encrypted site-to-site transport, direct internet access, and cloud application access. Its six 1G Ethernet ports suit designs that need multiple WAN or LAN handoffs without moving to a larger 2RU chassis.
C8300-1N1S-6T is best suited for medium to large branch environments that need secure WAN edge routing and SD-WAN services in a compact 1RU form factor. It fits networks with multiple 1G handoffs, modular expansion requirements, and branch designs that need Cisco IOS XE routing plus Catalyst SD-WAN control.
C8300-1N1S-6T suits WAN edge workloads such as encrypted IPsec transport, cloud application routing, QoS enforcement, NAT, segmentation, branch firewall services, and application-aware traffic steering. It is not positioned as a high-density access switch. Its role is to aggregate, secure, and route traffic at the branch edge.
C8300-1N1S-6T works in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN deployments when licensed and configured for the required software mode. Cisco lists the Catalyst 8300 Series as supporting Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN Software for secure branch connectivity, application-aware routing, segmentation, IPsec overlay tunnels, and centralized SD-WAN management.
C8300-1N1S-6T supports Cisco Catalyst 8300 compatible NIM, SM, and PIM options. Examples listed by Cisco include C-NIM-1X, C-NIM-1M, C-NIM-2T, C-NIM-4X, C-NIM-8T, C-NIM-8M, LTE pluggable modules, and 5G pluggable modules. Module selection should match IOS XE release, slot type, and deployment design.
C8300-1N1S-6T supports wireless WAN integration through supported Cisco pluggable modules and external cellular gateways. Cisco lists 5G Sub-6 GHz and LTE Advanced pluggable options for the Catalyst 8300 family. This allows branch designs to use cellular transport for backup, active-active redundancy, or locations without reliable wired WAN.
C8300-1N1S-6T is offered with Cisco DNA Software subscription options for Catalyst 8300 routing and SD-WAN use. Cisco lists Catalyst Routing Essentials, Cisco DNA Essentials, and Cisco DNA Advantage as subscription options. License choice affects software features, SD-WAN deployment model, and support entitlement, so ordering should align with the intended architecture.
C8300-1N1S-6T orders commonly require the correct Cisco DNA software subscription, rack mount kit, power cords, optics, transceivers, NIMs, SMs, PIMs, and support services. Cisco lists 19-inch and 23-inch rack mount kits for 1RU C8300 platforms. Buyers should confirm module compatibility, software release, and port media before purchase.
C8300-1N1S-6T is the 1RU 1G WAN model with six 1G Ethernet ports. C8300-1N1S-4T2X is the 1RU 10G WAN model with two 10G ports and four 1G ports. Buyers choose C8300-1N1S-6T for 1G edge designs and C8300-1N1S-4T2X when native 10G WAN handoff is required.
C8300-1N1S-6T uses a compact 1RU chassis with one SM slot and one NIM slot. C8300-2N2S-6T uses a 2RU chassis with two SM slots and two NIM slots while keeping the six 1G Ethernet port profile. C8300-2N2S-6T is better for designs needing more module expansion.
C8300-1N1S-6T is a 1RU platform with six 1G Ethernet ports and fewer module bays. C8300-2N2S-4T2X is a 2RU platform with two 10G ports, four 1G ports, two SM slots, and two NIM slots. The 2RU 4T2X model fits higher bandwidth and heavier module expansion requirements.
C8300-1N1S-4T2X is the closest 1RU alternative when the design needs higher embedded port speed. It keeps the same one SM slot and one NIM slot layout but changes the port profile to two 10G Ethernet ports plus four 1G Ethernet ports. C8300-1N1S-6T stays focused on six 1G ports.
C8300-1N1S-6T pricing is based on condition, configuration, software subscription, support requirement, module selection, and order quantity. New, refurbished, and bulk pricing can differ significantly. ORM Systems can quote the router with required accessories, licensing, optics, and support options so buyers compare a complete deployable configuration rather than chassis price alone.
C8300-1N1S-6T may be sourced in new or refurbished condition depending on current supply, channel availability, and buyer requirements. Refurbished units are often useful for branch refreshes, spare inventory, budget-controlled rollouts, and like-for-like network expansion. Buyers should confirm condition, included accessories, software entitlement, and warranty terms before ordering.
C8300-1N1S-6T belongs to the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms, which Cisco continues to document as current Catalyst 8000 edge routing platforms. Production and channel status should still be checked at quote stage because availability changes by region, distributor inventory, Cisco lifecycle notices, and required software bundle.
C8300-1N1S-6T lead time depends on stock position, condition, ordered modules, licensing, testing requirements, and shipping destination. Chassis-only refurbished stock may move faster than new configured bundles with software and support. ORM Systems can provide current lead time during quotation after confirming the exact router configuration and delivery location.
Bulk discounts for C8300-1N1S-6T are commonly evaluated by quantity, condition, configuration consistency, and procurement timeline. Multi-site branch rollouts often benefit from standardizing the same router, licenses, rack kits, power cords, and modules across locations.

ORM Systems can supply C8300-1N1S-6T with warranty coverage based on product condition, availability, and quoted terms. Warranty length should be confirmed before purchase, especially when comparing new, refurbished, and mixed-condition options. Buyers should also distinguish hardware warranty from Cisco software subscription support and any separate Cisco support contract.
Refurbished C8300-1N1S-6T units should be tested before dispatch for power, boot, port recognition, chassis condition, memory, storage, fan status, and basic hardware health. Buyers should request confirmation of included power supplies, rack mount hardware, blanks, and serial information. Testing helps reduce deployment risk when routers are purchased for production branches.
Cisco lists safety and compliance certifications for Catalyst 8300 platforms, including UL 60950-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1, EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1, AS/NZS 60950-1, and multiple EMC standards. Buyers with regulated environments should validate the exact compliance requirement against Cisco documentation and local procurement rules.
C8300-1N1S-6T first-use configuration depends on whether the router is deployed in autonomous IOS XE mode or Catalyst SD-WAN mode. Network teams usually confirm software release, licensing, management reachability, interface assignments, routing design, security policy, and module detection before connecting production circuits. The minimum Cisco IOS XE requirement listed for the platform is 17.3.2.
C8300-1N1S-6T is offered with Cisco DNA Software subscription options for Catalyst 8300 routing and SD-WAN. Cisco lists Catalyst Routing Essentials, Cisco DNA Essentials, and Cisco DNA Advantage. The correct subscription depends on whether the router is used for traditional routing, SD-WAN, security services, automation, or advanced policy features.
C8300-1N1S-6T deployment requires rack space, power, management access, compatible IOS XE release, required software license, WAN circuit details, IP addressing, optics or copper cabling, and any ordered NIM, SM, or PIM modules. SD-WAN deployments also require controller reachability, device onboarding details, templates, certificates, and transport-side policy planning.
UK buyers can purchase C8300-1N1S-6T through ORM Systems by requesting a quote for the required condition, license, modules, and delivery schedule. A quote should confirm chassis configuration, included accessories, warranty terms, lead time, and any software or support requirements. This helps procurement compare complete Cisco Catalyst 8300 router options.
ORM Systems can support international sourcing requests for C8300-1N1S-6T depending on destination, export requirements, stock location, carrier availability, and product configuration.
