The Cisco ASR 9000 series Modular Line Cards provide customers with a highly flexible solution. They support multiple combinations of Ethernet ports, all in a single slot of the Cisco ASR 9000 series Aggregation Services Routers. These modular line cards have two open bays (bay 0 and bay 1) for plugging in ASR 9000 series modular port adapters (MPA), which gives network operators the flexibility to choose the ideal port density, speed, and optic based on their network requirements. With ASR 9000 series modular line cards and the MPA portfolio, Cisco continues to focus on investment protection, along with consistent feature support, broad interface availability.
