A9K-MOD80-SE Cisco ASR 9000 Mod80 Modular Line Card, Service Edge Optimized
Cisco A9K-MOD80-SE ASR 9000 Mod80 Modular Line Card Service Edge Optimized
High-Performance Cisco ASR 9000 Mod80 Line Card with 80Gbps Capacity for Service Edge Deployments
The Cisco A9K-MOD80-SE Modular Line Card is a carrier-grade networking module designed for Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers, delivering up to 80 Gbps of throughput for high-performance service edge, metro aggregation, and packet transport applications. Built on Cisco’s Service Edge (SE) architecture, this line card provides the scalability, reliability, and advanced traffic management capabilities required by modern service provider and enterprise networks.
Designed for flexible deployment, the A9K-MOD80-SE supports modular expansion through compatible ASR 9000 Series Modular Port Adapters (MPAs), allowing network operators to customize interface configurations based on evolving bandwidth and service requirements. This modular approach enables efficient network scaling while maximizing investment protection.
The line card supports advanced networking technologies including Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, traffic engineering, and sophisticated Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. These features help service providers deliver differentiated services, optimize network performance, and ensure reliable application delivery across high-capacity infrastructures.
Powered by Cisco IOS XR, the A9K-MOD80-SE offers advanced automation, programmability, and operational visibility through APIs, NETCONF/YANG support, and integrated management tools. The module also supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR), enabling hot-swappable maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network services.
Built for carrier-grade environments, the A9K-MOD80-SE is optimized for service provider edge routing, metro Ethernet aggregation, WAN transport networks, and high-performance backbone infrastructures, providing the performance and flexibility required to support modern telecommunications and enterprise connectivity services.
The Cisco A9K-MOD80-SE is an ideal solution for organizations seeking scalable 80 Gbps packet transport, advanced QoS capabilities, MPLS-enabled services, and reliable service edge networking within Cisco ASR 9000 Series deployments.
