The Cisco A9K-MPA-8X10GE is a New 8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adapter engineered for deployment in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series router platform. Built to meet the rigorous demands of service providers and large enterprise networks, this modular port adapter delivers eight independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in a compact, slot-efficient form factor.Designed with scalability in mind, the A9K-MPA-8X10GE allows network operators to expand 10GE port density without requiring a full chassis upgrade, making it a cost-effective solution for organizations looking to grow their core or aggregation network capacity. Its modular design integrates seamlessly into the ASR 9000 architecture, supporting Cisco IOS XR software for advanced routing, traffic engineering, and carrier-grade feature sets.
Each of the eight ports supports SFP+ optics, providing flexibility to choose the appropriate transceiver for your specific fiber infrastructure—whether short-reach, long-reach, or extended-reach deployments. This makes the A9K-MPA-8X10GE an ideal choice for data center interconnect, metro Ethernet aggregation, and high-throughput WAN edge applications.
WhaleyComm offers this module as New condition, ensuring you receive a factory-fresh component with full reliability for mission-critical deployments. Whether you are expanding an existing ASR 9000 chassis or building out a new network segment, the A9K-MPA-8X10GE provides the density, flexibility, and performance your infrastructure demands.
