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 ASR1001-X is a 1RU aggregation services router featuring six built-in Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces, two built-in 10GE SFP+ uplink ports, 8GB DRAM, dual hot-swappable AC power supplies, and hardware-based AES encryption. Each unit has been professionally tested and reset to factory defaults under WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified process before shipment.The ASR1001-X is built on Cisco's integrated QuantumFlow Processor architecture, combining the route processor, Embedded Services Processor (ESP), and SPA Interface Processor in a single fixed chassis. Forwarding capacity starts at 2.5 Gbps and is upgradable via software license to 5, 10, or 20 Gbps, delivering hardware-accelerated encryption, NAT, Zone-Based Firewall, Deep Packet Inspection, and NetFlow without additional hardware. The platform runs Cisco IOS XE Software and supports Dual IOS software redundancy.
At $995, this unit represents a substantial discount versus the original list price of over $26,000, making it an ideal acquisition for enterprises and managed service providers seeking proven WAN edge performance without new-hardware capital expenditure. WhaleyComm's 5,000+ enterprise clients trust our certified refurbished inventory to deliver the same reliability as day-one gear.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise WAN Edge Routing
The ASR1001-X is purpose-built for enterprise WAN edge deployments, aggregating multiple WAN connections with hardware-accelerated forwarding at up to 20 Gbps. It delivers consistent, low-latency performance across distributed enterprise sites and cloud locations.
IPsec VPN Aggregation
With up to 8 Gbps of hardware-based AES encryption throughput, the ASR1001-X is well-suited for high-scale IPsec, DMVPN, FlexVPN, and GET VPN deployments. Organizations can consolidate VPN termination without sacrificing throughput or adding dedicated encryption appliances.
Managed Service Provider Edge
The scalable licensing model allows service providers to start at 2.5 Gbps and increment capacity to 20 Gbps as subscriber demands grow. This avoids hardware forklift upgrades and preserves capital budget across service tiers.
Data Center Interconnect (DCI)
The ASR1001-X supports advanced DCI features including Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) and hardware-accelerated forwarding, making it a practical choice for organizations interconnecting data center locations over WAN infrastructure.
SD-WAN Head-End or Node
Running Cisco IOS XE, the ASR1001-X integrates with Cisco SD-WAN for policy-driven WAN management. It supports Deep Packet Inspection, Application Visibility and Control, and Performance Routing for intelligent traffic steering.
High-Availability Branch or Campus Aggregation
Dual hot-swappable power supplies in a 1+1 redundant configuration, combined with Dual IOS software redundancy and OIR-capable field-replaceable units, make the ASR1001-X a resilient choice for mission-critical aggregation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The ASR1001-X ships with a base throughput of 2.5 Gbps. Forwarding capacity can be increased to 5, 10, or 20 Gbps through the purchase of software-activated throughput upgrade licenses — no additional hardware blades or chassis replacement required.
No. The six built-in 1GE ports on the ASR1001-X are SFP-only and do not support SFP+ modules. The two dedicated 10GE uplink ports support SFP+ at 10GE rate only. Ensure you source the correct SFP or SFP+ optic for each port type.
No. Cisco documentation specifies that a mix of one AC and one DC power supply is not supported. The unit must be configured with either two AC or two DC power supplies operating in a 1+1 redundant configuration.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
