Cisco ASR 9000 Series 16-Port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Packet Transport Line Card A9K-16X100GE-TR

Description :

Cisco ASR 9000 Series 16-Port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Packet Transport Line Card

The Cisco^® ASR 9000 Series 16-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Packet Transport Line Card delivers industry-leading high density, with line-rate 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, to any slot of a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. These high-capacity line cards are designed to remove bandwidth bottlenecks in the network that are caused by a large increase in Video-on-Demand (VoD), IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud services traffic. A single 100 Gigabit Ethernet port can now replace large 10 Gigabit Ethernet link aggregation bundles to simplify network operations. Based on QSFP technology, this line card has flexible interfaces that support 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, 50 Gigabit Ethernet, 25 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet modes, so it gives customers the flexibility to mix and match interface types on the same line card.

These different interface modes can be configured easily through the Command Line Interface (CLI) without resetting or restarting the line card. Using a "green design," these line cards also let customers put an unused slice in power-saving mode to reduce power consumption. With these capabilities, the ASR 9000 Series line card (Figure 1) and routers provide the fundamental infrastructure for scalable Carrier Ethernet and IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) networks, promoting profitable business, residential, and mobile services.

Features and benefits

The ASR 9000 Series 16-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Packet Transport line card is fully compatible with Cisco ASR 9006 Router, ASR 9010 Router, ASR 9904 Router, ASR 9906 Router, ASR 9910 Router, ASR 9912 Router, and ASR 9922 Router. However, the chassis may require a hardware update for the fabric cards, RP/RSP card and cooling systems, because the line card offers industry-leading, high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet throughput. The 16-port line card is designed to support full line rate, non-oversubscribed.

This power optimized line card, at such high density and scale, allows customers to reduce Capital Expenditures (CapEx) and Operating Expenses (OpEx) while offering highly predictable, managed transport services for Core and Peering applications. The Cisco QSFP breakout option further increases the capability of each line card to support large-scale aggregation, and the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Satellite Network Virtualization (nV) System mode on the ASR 9000 Series Router.
