Cisco ASR 1001-X Router 10GBase-X

The Cisco ASR 1001-X is a rack-mountable router built for enterprise networks requiring high-throughput 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It provides nine total expansion slots for flexible interface configuration in a 1U form factor.

10 Gigabit Ethernet interface limits

The router supports 1000Base-X and 10GBase-X speeds across its interfaces, enabling aggregation of multiple high-bandwidth links. Throughput is constrained by the physical 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and the processing capacity of the ASR 1001-X platform.

Upgrading from lower-capacity edge routers

This unit replaces older edge routers that lack 10 Gigabit Ethernet density or sufficient expansion slots for growing WAN demands. The jump is justified when existing 1G uplinks saturate or when additional service modules are required.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1000Base-X or 10GBase-X speed option for my ASR 1001-X deployment?

The ASR 1001-X supports both 1000Base-X and 10GBase-X speeds, so select 10GBase-X for ten‑gigabit throughput or 1000Base-X for gigabit links depending on your network design.

What does the 10GBase-X rating deliver inside a live rack?

10GBase-X provides up to ten gigabits per second per port on the ASR 1001‑X, enabling high‑capacity aggregation and low‑latency forwarding in a 1U chassis.

How do the nine expansion slots on the ASR 1001‑X affect interface flexibility?

Nine total expansion slots let you add a mix of SPA and SIP modules, so you can tailor port density and protocol support without changing the 1U rack‑mount form factor.
