Carrier-class 10GE density for ASR 9000. Professionally tested. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Cisco A9K-MPA-4X10GE is a 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adapter purpose-built for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router platform. Each unit is professionally tested and reset to factory defaults before shipment, giving service providers and enterprise network engineers a cost-effective path to high-speed 10GE port density without compromising on hardware quality or reliability.The A9K-MPA-4X10GE provides four XFP cage slots, each delivering 10 Gbps of Ethernet connectivity, and installs into the MPA bays of Cisco ASR 9000 Series modular line cards including the A9K-MOD80, A9K-MOD160, A9K-MOD200, and A9K-MOD400 variants. The adapter is hot-swappable, enabling insertion or removal without disrupting network operations. It supports simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 services under Cisco IOS XR Software, making it equally suited for IP/MPLS edge deployments, Carrier Ethernet aggregation, mobile backhaul, video delivery, and cloud transport. Up to two MPAs can be installed per modular line card, allowing operators to mix and match port adapters within a single chassis slot.
