A99-12X100GE-FC Overview
The A99-12X100GE-FC is a high-density 100GbE line card designed for the Cisco ASR 9900 Series Aggregation Services Routers. With 12 QSFP28 ports, it provides up to 12 x 100GbE or 48 x 10GbE ports to remove bandwidth bottlenecks caused by growth in bandwidth-intensive services.
The Cisco A99-12X100GE-FC delivers industry-leading 100GbE port density and line-rate performance for IP/MPLS networks. It uses standards-based 100G QSFP optics to provide carrier-class reliability and simplify operations. The line card can extend 100GbE transport over DWDM networks for data center interconnect and mobile backhaul applications.
With the Flexible Consumption Model, the Cisco A99-12X100GE-FC offers a pay-as-you-grow approach to scale capacity over time. The line card provides the foundation for profitable Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS services across service provider and webscale networks.
