ASR-9010-AC Cisco ASR 9010 Router Chassis
High-Capacity, Modular Aggregation Services Router for Carrier-Grade Networks with AC Power
PLEASE NOTE - POWER SUPPLIES & FANS ARE NOT INCLUDED & MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.
The Cisco ASR 9010 Aggregation Services Router (ASR-9010-AC) is a carrier-grade, modular routing platform engineered for high-capacity service provider edge and core networks. Part of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series, the ASR 9010 delivers exceptional scalability, resiliency, and performance to support broadband aggregation, IP/MPLS backbones, and next-generation metro networks.
Built on a fully modular architecture, the ASR 9010 chassis supports six line card slots, dual Route Switch Processors (RSPs), and integrated switching fabric, enabling up to 8 Tbps of system throughput when fully populated. Support for 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE line cards allows operators to scale port density and bandwidth as traffic demands grow, while maintaining investment protection.
Running Cisco IOS XR, the ASR 9010 provides advanced routing and service capabilities, including large-scale BGP and MPLS, segment routing readiness, and carrier-class high availability features such as In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), nonstop routing, and stateful switchover. Built-in support for IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and SyncE makes the platform ideal for mobile backhaul and timing-sensitive applications.
Designed for nonstop operations, the AC-powered chassis includes dual hot-swappable power supplies, N+1 power redundancy, and field-replaceable fan trays with front-to-back airflow. Integration with Cisco Prime and Cisco NSO enables centralized management, automation, and zero-touch provisioning across large-scale IP/MPLS and Ethernet Packet Networks (EPN).
With its combination of high throughput, modular scalability, and carrier-grade reliability, the Cisco ASR 9010 is an ideal choice for service providers and enterprises seeking a future-ready aggregation router for core and edge network deployments.
