Cisco 8100 Series Secure Routers
Secure networking
for the small branch
Enterprise-grade security in a compact, fanless form factor — with integrated NGFW, SD-WAN, and post-quantum cryptography readiness for small branch environments.
Purpose-built for small branch environments.
The 8100 Series delivers robust security and high performance in a compact, energy-efficient form factor — simplifying management while scaling with your business.
Compact & fanless
Silent, fanless design fits retail, kiosk, and small office environments where noise and space are constraints.
Post-quantum ready
Encryption designed to remain unbreakable even in the era of quantum computing, built into every 8100 model.
Integrated SD-WAN
Hardware-accelerated SD-WAN with IPsec, QoS, deep packet inspection, and flexible NetFlow on supported models.
Flexible connectivity
Standard GE, DSL, XGSPON, and optional 5G/LTE pluggable modules cover every small branch WAN scenario.
