The Cisco A9K-40GE-SE is a high-density, Service Edge-optimized 40-Port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card engineered for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers. Built to address the demanding requirements of service provider edge and enterprise core networks, this line card delivers carrier-grade performance, scalability, and advanced feature support in a single slot solution.

The "SE" (Service Edge) designation indicates this card is purpose-built for environments that require rich QoS, MPLS, and advanced IP services at the network edge — making it an excellent fit for managed service providers, large enterprise networks, and telecom operators looking to maximize port density without sacrificing service capability.

With 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, network operators can aggregate a large number of customer-facing or inter-device connections within a compact footprint, reducing rack space and operational overhead. The line card integrates seamlessly into the ASR 9000 chassis ecosystem, taking full advantage of the platform's distributed architecture and IOS XR operating system for enhanced reliability and nonstop forwarding.

WhaleyComm offers this module as New condition, ensuring you receive a factory-fresh component backed by Cisco's quality standards. Whether you are expanding an existing ASR 9000 deployment or building out a new edge infrastructure, the A9K-40GE-SE provides the port density and advanced services capability your network demands at a competitive price point of $1,349.00.
