Overview

The Cisco A9K-MPA-2X40GE is a high-performance 2-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adapter designed for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This modular port adapter (MPA) delivers flexible, scalable interface options, supporting demanding applications such as video-on-demand, IPTV, point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud-based computing. With 10 units currently in stock, enjoy immediate dispatch and a special offer price of $8710, saving 92% off list. Download the PDF datasheet for complete technical details.

Overview and Compatibility

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series modular line cards, including the A9K-MPA-2X40GE, provide a flexible solution with multiple Ethernet port combinations in a single slot. Fully compatible with Cisco ASR 9922, 9010, 9006, and 9001 systems, route switch processors (RSPs), and line cards—no chassis or cooling upgrades required. Total bandwidth depends on installed RSPs. Up to 2 modular port adapters per line card, mix-and-match capability like pairing with 20-port 1GE or other MPAs.

Each line card supports simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, reducing CapEx and OpEx while accelerating service deployment. Ideal for economical, scalable, line-rate Ethernet and IP/MPLS edge services, forming the infrastructure for Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks supporting business, residential, and mobile services.
