A10-Thunder-5960 - Overview
A10-Thunder-5960 is a genuine A10 Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) Gateway from A10 Networks, built to the original factory specification so it integrates predictably with existing A10 deployments. Belonging to the Thunder Series family, this unit ships as pre-owned hardware inspected and firmware-verified by LinkNewNet.
The A10 Networks Thunder 5960 is a 1U Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) gateway in the A10 Thunder series. It is purpose-built for large-scale CGNAT, IPv4 address-space extension and IPv6 migration / translation at service-provider scale - not as a load-balancing ADC. Running A10 ACOS, the Thunder 5960 delivers 300 Gbps of CGN throughput, 2.3 million full TCP connections per second and 256 million concurrent sessions, with software-accelerated processing (ADP 1023). This unit is offered as pre-owned used equipment by LinkNewNet.
Every unit at LinkNewNet is inspected and tested before dispatch, and stock is graded, cleaned and firmware-verified. Our warranty coverage and responsive support protect the purchase, and our team can confirm revision levels and ACOS compatibility before you order.

A10-Thunder-5960 - Product Notes
This listing is a specific SKU variant of the Thunder Series A10-Thunder-5960 family. Specifications above reflect the platform datasheet - confirm compatibility with your existing infrastructure, ACOS software version, mounting and interface requirements with our team before ordering.
This unit is positioned as a Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) Gateway in the A10 Thunder portfolio, not as a general-purpose load-balancing ADC. Confirm with our engineers that the deployment scenario (CGN/transit, DDoS scrubbing, ultra-low-latency trading) is supported by your ACOS license and the hardware revision on offer.
For volume requirements we offer configuration checks and staged delivery options. Our team can confirm revision levels, software compatibility, and lead time before you place an order.
