Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBTBA62 Cluster Router

Equipment Overview

The Huawei NetEngine5000E CR5P5KBTBA62 is a cluster router from the NetEngine5000E series, delivered in the NetEngine5000E-X16A 400G (BTB) base configuration with AC power. It is designed for service provider and large enterprise core networks, providing high-capacity routing and switching in a multi-chassis cluster setup. The system supports non-blocking switching fabric and is intended for deployment scenarios requiring scalable throughput and carrier-grade reliability. This unit serves as a foundational element for building high-density 400G infrastructure.

Main Parameters

• Product code: Huawei CR5P5KBTBA62
• System capacity: Up to 819 Tbit/s with 64 chassis (400G)
• Port throughput: 15 Tbit/s per single chassis (480G)
• Slots/CLC: 16 slots per chassis
• Power type: AC base configuration
• Form factor: NetEngine5000E-X16A 400G (BTB) cluster router

Key Advantages

This model is selected for enterprise projects requiring massive scalability, as the cluster architecture allows expansion to 64 chassis without blocking. The non-blocking switching fabric ensures consistent line-rate performance across all ports, which is critical for high-traffic core environments. Its 400G-ready design provides future-proofing for bandwidth-intensive applications and long-term infrastructure investments.

Compatibility & Integration

The router supports multi-chassis clustering, enabling seamless integration into existing core network topologies. It is compatible with standard 400G optical interfaces and adheres to industry-standard routing and switching protocols used in carrier-grade networks. The AC power configuration simplifies deployment in facilities where DC power is not available.
