ASR 1001-HX router with sixteen expansion slots

The Cisco ASR 1001-HX is a rack-mountable router built for carrier-grade networks. It delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and supports both T-carrier and E-carrier circuits. Voice over IP is included for converged deployments. The unit occupies 1.7 inches of rack height and provides sixteen total expansion slots for interface cards.

Service-provider edge

This platform suits operators who need high-density 10G connectivity and modular WAN interfaces in a compact 1RU form factor. It also fits enterprises consolidating voice and data on a single chassis. Buyers who require only fixed-port switching or lower-speed uplinks should evaluate smaller appliances. Networks that do not use carrier TDM circuits will not use the T1/E1 support.

Sixteen total expansion slots for modular interfaces

The single specification that determines fit is the sixteen expansion slots available for Cisco ASR 1000 series shared port adapters and interface modules. Slot count fixes the maximum number of simultaneous WAN or LAN connections the chassis can host. Confirm the required module types and quantities against this limit before purchase.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ modules must I already own to populate the 16 expansion slots for 10GBase-X links?

You need 10GBase-X compatible SFP+ transceivers — one per active port — to fill the 16 slots and establish 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Will the 10GBase-X ports interoperate with my existing 1000Base-X gear?

Yes — the router supports both 1000Base-X and 10GBase-X speeds, so 1 Gbps SFP modules can operate alongside 10 Gbps SFP+ modules in the same chassis.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the ASR 1001-HX is forwarding 10 Gigabit Ethernet traffic after installation?

Each active port shows a solid green link LED and a blinking activity LED when 10GBase-X traffic is passing; the system status LED stays green once the router has booted successfully.
