ASR5K-SPIO-BNC-K9 is the ASR 5000 Switch Processor I/O card whose exact Cisco description is BNC BITS. It is a half-height card. The separate ASR5K-SPS3-BNC-K9 row explicitly adds Stratum 3, so that feature must not be assumed for this PID.
Check the physical label and chassis inventory, then verify the BNC timing source, cabling, slot plan and paired system-management design. A matching connector is not sufficient evidence that the SPS3 and SPIO versions are interchangeable.
The ASR 5000 hardware cohort ended sale on January 30, 2016 and passed Cisco's last support date on January 31, 2021. Preserve a tested rollback configuration and treat this card as an installed-base spare while planning migration to a supported platform.
