The Cisco A9K-MOD200-TR is a 200G Modular Line Card for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. Specifically, Cisco tuned this -TR (Packet Transport) version for high-capacity Layer 2 and Layer 3 transport. As a result, it suits aggregation and core networks that need throughput more than deep per-subscriber service scale.

Two MPA Bays for Flexible Port Options

In addition, the card features two bays for Cisco Modular Port Adapters (MPAs). Consequently, operators can configure each slot with up to 2x 100GbE, 4x 40GbE, 20x 10GbE, or 64x 1GbE interfaces, depending on which MPAs they install. However, the 2-port 100G and 20-port 10G MPAs work only in bay 0, so plan configurations accordingly.

One Card for Many Applications

Moreover, because a single line card supports many port types, operators can qualify and stock one card for multiple applications. Therefore, sparing becomes simpler and inventory costs drop. Furthermore, the card supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services at the same time.

A9K-MOD200-TR vs. A9K-MOD200-SE

By comparison, the A9K-MOD200-SE targets the service edge, with larger service scale and deeper QoS. For this reason, the -TR makes the better choice for service provider aggregation, Carrier Ethernet and MPLS transport, and capacity upgrades on existing ASR 9000 chassis.

Compatible ASR 9000 Chassis

Finally, the A9K-MOD200-TR works with the Cisco ASR 9922, 9912, 9910, 9906, 9904, 9010, and 9006 routers. In other words, it fits most ASR 9000 deployments in service today.

Key Features

• First, it delivers 200G of capacity for Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers.
• Second, it targets packet transport for high-capacity L2/L3 traffic.
• Additionally, it provides two MPA bays, and you order MPAs separately.
• Furthermore, it supports up to 2x 100GbE, 4x 40GbE, 20x 10GbE, or 64x 1GbE.
• Moreover, one card covers multiple port types, which simplifies sparing.
• Finally, it fits ASR 9922, 9912, 9910, 9906, 9904, 9010, and 9006 chassis.

Why Lease from Telecom Leasing?

• First, you add ASR 9000 capacity without a large capital outlay.
• Second, we test every unit so it’s ready to deploy.
• In addition, flexible terms cover spares, upgrades, and project builds.
• Finally, you get fast quotes and quick shipping.

Best of all, Telecom Leasing offers the A9K-MOD200-TR for lease or purchase, so you can expand ASR 9000 capacity at a fraction of new cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cisco A9K-MOD200-TR?

In short, it’s a 200G modular line card for Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers that targets packet transport and offers two bays for Modular Port Adapters.

What’s the difference between the A9K-MOD200-TR and A9K-MOD200-SE?

Both are 200G modular line cards. However, the -TR focuses on packet transport, while the -SE focuses on service edge scale and QoS.

Does the A9K-MOD200-TR include port adapters?

No. Instead, you order MPAs separately, so you can configure the card with exactly the 100G, 40G, 10G, or 1G interfaces your network needs.
