Cisco ASR 1001-X 6x 1G SFP, 2x 10GE SFP+, 16GB DRAM, 1U, 20 Gbps [REF]

The Cisco ASR 1001-X is a high-performance and reliable carrier-grade networking solution designed for demanding enterprise environments, data centers, and service providers. The device combines high throughput, advanced routing features, and a scalable architecture, making it ideal for modern IT infrastructures.

This model offers throughput of up to 20 Gbps, supported by a quad-core processor and 16 GB of DRAM, ensuring smooth processing of large data volumes and stable operation even under heavy load. It is equipped with 6 × 1G SFP ports and 2 × 10G SFP+ ports, enabling flexible network connectivity and easy integration with existing infrastructure. Additionally, the router supports SPA modules (e.g., 10G XFP), enhancing its expandability.

The Cisco ASR 1001-X is optimized for BGP protocol handling, making it ideal for advanced routing scenarios such as internet peering, enterprise networking, and service provider deployments. It enables efficient routing policy management, route aggregation and filtering, and supports large routing tables - critical in dynamic network environments.

An integrated route processor and Embedded Services Processor (ESP) provide performance from 2.5 to 20 Gbps (license-based scalability), while hardware-based encryption enables up to 8 Gbps of crypto throughput. The router runs on Cisco IOS XE, offering advanced QoS, security features, and web-based management.

The compact 1U chassis designed for 19-inch racks allows easy deployment in data centers, while redundant power supply options (AC or DC) enhance reliability. The device also features relatively low power consumption (up to 250 W) and a wide operating temperature range (0-50°C), ensuring stable operation in various environments.
