Cisco Part Number: A99-4HG-FLEX-FC is a Cisco ASR 9000 400GB Flexible Consumption Line Card - 5th Generation
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series 5th Generation 400 Gigabit Ethernet Multi-Rate Line Card offers unparalleled high density, featuring line-rate 10, 25, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, compatible with any slot of a Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router. Engineered to eliminate bandwidth constraints in networks driven by a significant surge in Video-on-Demand (VoD), IPTV, point-to-point video, internet video, and cloud services traffic, this Multi-Rate line card stands out.
The physical interfaces support a variety of optics including QSFP28, SFP28, QSFP+, SFP+, allowing customers to effortlessly mix and match interface types on the same line card.
Configuration of multiple interface modes is easily done through the Command Line Interface (CLI) without the need for resetting or restarting the line card. These capabilities make the ASR 9000 Series line card and routers the cornerstone of scalable Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks, fostering profitable business, residential, and mobile services.
The Flexible Consumption Model offers a built-in “pay-as-you-grow” structure that lowers initial start-up costs with the ability to add more capacity overtime as needed. Software subscription provides feature upgrades and helps defer the payment of software value for the initial purchase.
The A99-4HG-FLEX-FC ASR 9000 Series 5th Generation 400 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card is fully compatible with the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, ASR 9912 Router, ASR 9910 Router, ASR 9906 Router, ASR 9904 Router, ASR 9010 Router, and ASR 9006 Router. However, the chassis may require a hardware update for the fabric cards, RP/RSP cards, and cooling systems. This line card is designed to support full line rate, non-oversubscribed Ethernet traffic.
