Cisco ASR 9000 2-port 100GE Modular Port Adapter – A9K-MPA2X100GE

Cisco ASR 9000 A9K-MPA2X100GE 100GE Port Adapter

Expand high-speed routing connectivity with the Cisco A9K-MPA2X100GE modular port adapter for ASR 9000 platforms. This two-port 100GE component is designed for network operators that need additional high-capacity interfaces within an established routing architecture. Its modular format provides a focused way to support backbone, aggregation, and service-provider connectivity projects without sourcing an entirely new router. The ASR 9000 platform designation is central to compatibility, so buyers should verify the host chassis, supported line card, slot, software, optics, and system configuration before installation.
