48×25G SFP28 + 6×100G QSFP28 | Enterprise SONiC Switch | PTP + GNSS Module | Optional Marvell OCTEON 10 DPU CN103

The CX306P-48Y-M-H is a high-performance 2Tbps switch powered by the Marvell Falcon ASIC and Enterprise SONiC, ensuring stable operation at campus core and data center leaf layers. Designed for versatility, it supports modular PTP and GNSS options to meet time-sensitive network demands. With two optional Marvell Octeon10 CN103 DPUs, it extends beyond traditional switching by integrating routing and security functions to deliver a unified Switch + Router + Security platform, ideal for large campus networks and medium-sized service-provider edge deployments.

Switching Performance

CX306P-48Y-M-H integrates 48×25G SFP28 and 6×100G QSFP28 interfaces, leveraging Marvell Falcon ASIC and Enterprise SONiC to deliver comprehensive Layer 2/3, VXLAN, BGP EVPN, EVPN-MH, and MPLS support for campus core and data center leaf scenarios.
Highlights: Supports rear-panel 1PPS, 10 MHz and ToD I/O (independent time-sync interfaces), GNSS timing via an external GPS antenna, and full PTP (IEEE 1588v2) with ~20 ns-class precision for 5G timing, O-RAN fronthaul, and financial timestamping.

Routing & Security with OCTEON DPU(Optional)

What truly sets the CX306P-48Y-M-H apart is its scalable design — supporting dual Marvell Octeon10 CN103 DPUs for high-performance routing and security tasks. With these two intelligent engines, the CX306P-48Y-M-H delivers efficient, flexible, and secure networking in large campus cores, cloud access layers, 5G edge, and medium-sized service provider gateways. No longer just a “data forwarder,” the switch evolves into an intelligent computing platform integrating switching, routing, and security, enabling multi-service convergence.
