Infinera DRX-30 chassis and network elements
Infinera is an independent optical networking vendor known for its photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology and, more recently, for open and disaggregated transport platforms developed in partnership with the Telecom Infra Project (TIP). The two part numbers we carry are both DRX-30 units, part of Infinera's DRX Series Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG) platform used for open mobile transport aggregation at the cell site.
How to read these part numbers
VQS-X30CHASS is the DRX-30 chassis itself. DRX30A-NE-DC48 is a DRX-30 network element configured for -48V DC power input. Both belong to the same DRX Series platform; confirm the power configuration your site requires (DC or AC) before ordering.

Ordering notes
Give the exact part number and confirm the power configuration (DC or AC) your installation requires — chassis and network element variants within the DRX Series are not universally interchangeable. Condition is stated per quotation — new, new-surplus or refurbished — and all stock referenced on this page is refurbished/used and sold on that basis; where a destination does not admit used network equipment we will say so and quote accordingly. Hardware only: software licensing and entitlements remain between the buyer and Infinera. Destination type approval and import permits (CST/SABER, TDRA, ICASA, CA, CMC, ARPCE) are the buyer's responsibility and we will flag this on the quotation.
Lifecycle and availability
Infinera remains an independent, actively operating optical networking vendor. The DRX Series, including the DRX-30, is part of its more recent Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway (DCSG) portfolio, developed with the Telecom Infra Project. Both items listed here are refurbished/used (condition REF) secondary-market stock rather than new-build.
Equipment condition
New — factory-sealed, supplied through the manufacturer's own channel or a qualified distributor, with full manufacturer warranty.
New surplus — unused factory stock, original packaging where available, sourced from decommissioned projects or distributor inventory. Manufacturer warranty may have lapsed; CRS PLUS warranty applies.
Refurbished / tested — previously deployed equipment, cleaned, firmware-checked and functionally tested against the manufacturer's specification before shipment. CRS PLUS warranty applies.
Condition is confirmed in writing on every quotation before you commit to an order.
Warranty
Warranty terms vary by item, by condition and by the supplier the equipment is sourced from. They are stated in writing on the quotation, per line item, before you commit to an order.
Where equipment is supplied new through the manufacturer's own channel, the manufacturer's warranty applies and is passed to you.
Send us the part numbers you need and we will confirm warranty terms alongside availability, condition, lead time and price.
