Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Professionally tested to factory specification. Backed by 25+ years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Cisco A9K-2X100GE-TR is a 2-Port 100 Gigabit Ethernet Packet Transport Optimized Line Card for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. Professionally tested and reset to factory defaults, this unit delivers two line-rate 100GE ports using CFP pluggable optics, with simultaneous support for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, OTN transport, and IP/MPLS edge services. Every unit ships with WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified testing process and Lifetime Warranty.The A9K-2X100GE-TR is the Packet Transport Optimized variant of the ASR 9000 Series 2-port 100GE line card family, engineered for network deployments requiring basic QoS with high-throughput transport performance. It supports online insertion and removal (OIR) without impacting system operation, and includes synchronization circuitry with dedicated backplane timing traces for Stratum-3 subsystem access — enabling standards-based transport timing for mobile backhaul and TDM services. The card supports IPoDWDM transport when paired with compatible Cisco DWDM transponder solutions, and feature licenses are available to unlock advanced capabilities including full-scale VRF instances.
At $1,199, the A9K-2X100GE-TR delivers significant savings versus new list price, making it an ideal choice for service providers, carriers, and large enterprises looking to extend or refresh their ASR 9000 infrastructure without capital-intensive new deployments. WhaleyComm has served 5,000+ enterprise customers over 25+ years with R2v3, e-Stewards, and ISO 9001 certified refurbished hardware.

Ideal Use Cases
Service Provider Edge and Core Routing
Designed for carrier-grade IP/MPLS edge routing on the ASR 9000 platform, the A9K-2X100GE-TR delivers line-rate 100GE throughput suitable for high-traffic service provider networks requiring scalable transport services.
Mobile Backhaul and Timing-Sensitive Transport
The card's onboard synchronization circuitry and dedicated backplane timing traces support Stratum-3 timing, enabling precision transport timing for mobile backhaul and TDM-dependent services via Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588-2008.
Data Center Interconnect (DCI)
Two 100GE ports provide high-capacity connectivity for data center interconnect scenarios, enabling low-latency, line-rate transport between data center facilities over carrier backbone infrastructure.
IPoDWDM Transport Integration
When paired with compatible Cisco DWDM transponder equipment, the A9K-2X100GE-TR enables 100GE transport over IP-over-DWDM networks, supporting long-haul optical transport integration directly from the ASR 9000 chassis.
ASR 9000 Capacity Expansion and Refresh
Ideal for operators looking to add or replace 100GE capacity in existing ASR 9000 chassis without a full platform upgrade, the A9K-2X100GE-TR slots into any compatible ASR 9000 system slot with no chassis modifications required.
Managed Transport and Carrier Ethernet Services
With simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 service support, this line card enables operators to deliver predictable, managed Carrier Ethernet transport services while optimizing network asset utilization across a single card type.
