Key Features & Benefits

• Broad ASR 9000 Chassis Compatibility: Fully compatible with Cisco ASR 9922, ASR 9912, ASR 9010, ASR 9006, and ASR 9004 chassis systems, route switch processors (RSPs), and existing line cards, with no hardware upgrade required to chassis or cooling systems.
• Flexible Modular Port Adapter Support: Requires separately-ordered modular port adapters (A9K-MPA-20x1GE, A9K-MPA-2x10GE, A9K-MPA-4x10GE, A9K-MPA-8x10GE, A9K-MPA-1x40GE, A9K-MPA-2x40GE), enabling customers to mix and match interface types within a single slot.
• 80 Gbps Modular Bandwidth: Delivers up to 80 Gbps of bandwidth capacity, with total available bandwidth dependent on the number and type of RSPs installed in the chassis.
• Two Expansion Slots: Features two expansion slots for modular port adapters, providing scalability for diverse networking requirements and traffic types.
• Packet Transport Optimized (TR) Design: Specifically optimized for packet transport applications, distinguishing it from the SE (Service Edge) variant of the same Mod80 card family.
• Custom Port Density Flexibility: As an example, a 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPA can be matched with a 20-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet MPA within the same slot, enabling precise port customization.
