The Cisco A9K-RSP440-SE is a Refurbished Route Switch Processor (RSP) engineered for deployment in Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers. As the central intelligence of the ASR 9000 platform, the RSP440-SE handles critical control plane functions including routing protocol processing, system management, and high-availability operations essential to carrier-grade and large enterprise environments.The 'SE' designation indicates this module is optimized for scale-optimized or service-edge configurations within the ASR 9000 ecosystem, providing the processing headroom needed to support large routing tables and complex network policies at the network edge or core.
This Refurbished unit has been inspected and tested to confirm operational functionality, offering a cost-effective path to deploying or expanding an ASR 9000 infrastructure without the lead times or premium pricing associated with new hardware. WhaleyComm sources and prepares Refurbished Cisco modules to support enterprise IT teams managing budget-conscious network refresh or redundancy planning.
With its role as the primary route processor in one of Cisco's most widely deployed carrier and enterprise router platforms, the A9K-RSP440-SE is a foundational component for organizations running large-scale MPLS, BGP, or segment routing environments. Purchasing a Refurbished unit from WhaleyComm at $265.00 enables significant capital savings while maintaining platform integrity and compatibility with existing ASR 9000 chassis and IOS XR software deployments.

Ideal Use Cases
Service Provider Core Routing
Deploy the A9K-RSP440-SE as the control plane processor in a service provider ASR 9000 chassis handling large-scale BGP and MPLS routing tables. Its processing capability supports the complex policy and routing demands of multi-tenant carrier environments.
Enterprise Network Core Redundancy
Use a Refurbished A9K-RSP440-SE as a redundant or replacement RSP in an existing ASR 9000 deployment to ensure high availability and minimize unplanned downtime. Sourcing a Refurbished module is a cost-effective strategy for maintaining hot-standby RSP configurations.
Lab and Pre-Production Testing
Equip a network engineering lab or staging environment with a Refurbished A9K-RSP440-SE to validate IOS XR configurations, test routing policies, or train network operations staff. The low acquisition cost makes it ideal for non-production environments that require realistic hardware fidelity.
