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.
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This professionally tested and refurbished Cisco ASR1002-X is an enterprise-grade aggregation services router from the ASR 1000 Series, delivered in a compact 2U chassis. The unit ships with dual AC power supplies and rack-mount hardware, and has been professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified for immediate deployment. It features six built-in Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports and three half-height SPA expansion slots, giving your team immediate connectivity with room to grow.At its core, the ASR1002-X integrates the route processor, Embedded Services Processor (ESP), and SPA Interface Processor (SIP) into a single chassis. The integrated ESP delivers a default forwarding bandwidth of 5 Gbps, software-upgradable to 10, 20, or 36 Gbps via Cisco feature license — no hardware swap required. The route processor ships with 4 GB DRAM (field-upgradable to 8 GB or 16 GB) and 8 GB eUSB bulk storage. The platform runs Cisco IOS XE, delivering hardware-accelerated services including NAT, Zone-Based Firewall, Deep Packet Inspection, IPsec (hardware-based encryption at 4 Gbps), and Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE). The dual AC power supplies are hot-swappable and field-replaceable, operating between 85 V AC and 264 V AC.
At $235, this refurbished ASR1002-X delivers carrier-class WAN edge and enterprise branch routing capability at a fraction of the original list price — making it the right choice for organizations that need proven Cisco performance without the cost of new hardware. WhaleyComm backs every unit with our Lifetime Warranty and ISO 9001-certified testing process.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise WAN Edge Routing
The ASR1002-X is purpose-built for enterprise data center and large office WAN edge deployments, providing hardware-accelerated routing with scalable throughput from 5 to 36 Gbps as traffic demands grow.
High-End Enterprise Branch Office
Its compact 2U form factor and integrated services make it ideal for high-end branch offices requiring carrier-grade routing, VPN, and firewall capabilities without large rack footprint.
SD-WAN Infrastructure Deployment
Running Cisco IOS XE, the ASR1002-X supports Cisco SD-WAN with throughput-based licensing, enabling organizations to deploy flexible, cloud-managed WAN overlays across distributed sites.
IPsec VPN Aggregation
Hardware-based encryption at 4 Gbps makes this router well-suited for enterprise IPsec VPN hub or spoke roles, supporting DMVPN and Easy VPN termination at scale.
Service Provider POP or Edge Node
The three SPA expansion bays and software-upgradable ESP allow service providers to deploy the ASR1002-X as a compact edge or Point-of-Presence node with flexibility for future interface requirements.
Network Refresh / Lab / Failover
At a refurbished price point, the ASR1002-X is an excellent choice for lab environments, network architecture validation, or warm-standby failover configurations alongside production ASR 1000 Series deployments.
