Overview
The Cisco A99-32X100GE-FC is a high-density 100GbE line card designed for the Cisco ASR 9900 Series Aggregation Services Routers. With 32-ports of 100GbE, this line card provides industry-leading throughput to remove network bottlenecks caused by increasing video, cloud and IP traffic.
The A99-32X100GE-FC uses Cisco QSFP optics to provide flexibility to mix 100GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE and 10GbE interfaces on the same line card. The packet transport optimized variant is tailored for deployments needing enhanced QoS and buffering. The line card provides full line-rate 100Gbps throughput per port.
Using the Flexible Consumption Model, the A99-32X100GE-FC allows pay-as-you-grow scalability to add capacity over time. Software subscriptions enable deferring initial software costs. The line card runs on the proven Cisco IOS-XR operating system for carrier-class resilience.
