Who it buys from and sells to
Company filings show Cisco relies on chip supplier TSMC, along with unnamed contract manufacturers and suppliers and memory supplier Nanya, while counting Acacia among its customers. This kind of supply relationship matters because it shows how Cisco's hardware production and sales depend on a web of chipmakers, assemblers and downstream buyers across the technology sector.
