A9K-MPA-2X100G-FC Cisco ASR 9000 2-Port 100GE MPA Flexible Consumption

The A9K-MPA-2X100G-FC is a 2-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adapter for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers. It requires CFP2 or CPAK optics to operate. This modular port adapter supports LAN/WAN/OTN modes and provides two cages for coherent transceiver CFP2 modules operating at 100 Gbps each. It is compatible with the 400 Gigabit Modular Line Cards (A9K-MOD400-SE, A9K-MOD400-TR, A9K-MOD400-CM) and the 200 Gigabit Line Cards (A9K-MOD200-SE, A9K-MOD200-TR).

Key features include:

• Support for 10X10 and 2X40 breakout configurations (does not support 1X40 breakout).
• Each CFP2 cage has an adjacent Active/Link LED indicating port status.
• Compatible with CFP2 Digital Coherent Optics (DCO) modules with specific hardware versions.
• Supports MACsec encryption when used with certain modular line cards.
• Requires careful handling of optics and adherence to insertion/removal guidelines.

The MPA is part of the Flexible Consumption Model line cards and modular port adapters for the ASR 9000 Series.
