The Cisco ASR1002X-10G-K9 is a high-performance, compact router from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series, purpose-built for enterprise and service provider edge environments requiring advanced scalability, integrated services, and high availability.
Powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP) and Cisco IOS XE software, the ASR1002-X integrates routing, firewall, VPN, NAT, QoS, and MPLS into a single, unified platform.
This model ships with a 10 Gbps base throughput license, and can be upgraded via software to support 20, 36, or 40 Gbps, offering investment protection and performance scalability without hardware replacement.
Ideal for WAN aggregation, data center edge, and secure SD-WAN deployments, the ASR1002-X delivers carrier-grade reliability, redundancy, and service agility in a compact 2U form factor.
