Cisco A9K-MPA-4X10G-FC ASR 9000 4-Port 10GE XFP MPA

A9K-MPA-4X10G-FC Exact Product Identity

A9K-MPA-4X10G-FC is listed in Cisco's official service-provider catalog as the FCM ordering PID associated with A9K-MPA-4X10GE. Cisco identifies the hardware as a modular port adapter for the ASR 9000 family, with four 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using XFP modules.

Interface and Optics Boundary

The adapter provides four 10GE XFP positions. This statement identifies the interface form factor; it does not mean that any XFP transceiver is included. Select each optic for the required reach, fiber type and link standard, and verify it against Cisco's supported-transceiver documentation for the installed software release.

Host-System Compatibility

A modular port adapter is not a stand-alone router interface card. Before purchase, confirm the exact ASR 9000 chassis, the host modular line card, available slot, hardware revision and Cisco IOS XR release. A matching connector or similar model name is not sufficient evidence of compatibility.

Ordering Checks

Use the complete PID A9K-MPA-4X10G-FC on the request for quotation. Ask the supplier to state the physical condition, included components, serial-number status, warranty, entitlement position and lead time. Keep the base family PID and FCM PID together in the purchase record to prevent substitution with a different port count or optical form factor.

Receiving Checks

At receipt, compare the carton and module labels with the complete PID, inspect all four XFP cages and retain the serial number and supplier documentation. Do not install the adapter until the target chassis and host line-card compatibility have been confirmed.
