Overview
The Cisco MEM-NP8S-R4-P is an 8MB upgrade module that replaces the standard 4MB shared memory component in select Cisco networking platforms. Designed to boost buffer capacity, this module enhances packet processing performance and supports higher traffic loads without compromising stability. By expanding the shared memory pool, the upgrade helps maintain optimal throughput during peak usage and improves overall system reliability.
Key Features
- Doubling of shared memory from 4MB to 8MB for increased data handling
- Seamless drop-in replacement compatible with original Cisco hardware specifications
- Optimized for high-density routing and switching environments
- Improved packet buffering reduces loss during traffic spikes
- Fully tested to meet Cisco quality and performance standards
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: MEM-NP8S-R4-P
- Memory Capacity: 8 megabytes (shared)
- Form Factor: Direct replacement for 4MB shared memory module
- Operating Temperature Range: 0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Power Consumption: Low power draw consistent with original module
- Interface: Standard Cisco memory connector
- Compliance: Meets RoHS and FCC regulations
Applications
The 8MB upgrade is ideal for enterprises and service providers that require enhanced performance from Cisco routers and switches in demanding environments. Typical use cases include:
- Core and distribution layer devices handling large volumes of VoIP and video traffic
- Data center edge routers that need additional buffering for virtualized workloads
- Branch office routers experiencing growth in remote user connections
- Network segments with high burst traffic patterns such as financial trading platforms
- Any Cisco platform where the original 4MB memory limit constrains throughput or stability
By installing the MEM-NP8S-R4-P, customers can extend the life of existing Cisco equipment, achieve smoother traffic flow, and reduce the risk of packet loss during peak periods, all while maintaining full compatibility with their current network architecture.
