Overview

NSa 3800

Twenty-four gigabit ports and ten SFP+ cages — the densest copper-and-fibre mix in the range below the 6800.

Where the NSa 3800 fits

Twenty-four gigabit ports and ten SFP+ cages — the densest copper-and-fibre mix in the range below the 6800. It suits a site that needs fibre uplinks in quantity — ten SFP/SFP+ cages, more than any other model below the 6800. Every Gen 8 NSa runs the same SonicOS 8 build and the same security services, so the choice between them is capacity rather than capability.
