A9K-9922-FAN-V2

Description

The Cisco A9K-9922-FAN-V2 is the ASR 9922 System Fan Tray Version 2, a vital cooling component for the Cisco ASR 9922 Aggregation Services Router within the ASR 9000 Series. Designed to maintain optimal thermal performance in high-density environments, this fan tray supports up to 20 line cards without requiring any hardware upgrades to the chassis or cooling system. With 10 units currently in stock, it is available for immediate dispatch at a special offer price of $484, representing a 92% savings. A PDF datasheet is available for comprehensive technical details.

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, powered by components like the A9K-9922-FAN-V2 fan tray, deliver flexible solutions supporting multiple combinations of Ethernet ports in a single slot. These systems offer network scalability, lower initial costs, ease of upgrades, investment protection, consistent feature support, broad interface availability, and the latest technology. Ideal for applications such as video-on-demand, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), point-to-point video, Internet video, and cloud-based computing, the ASR 9922 with this fan tray enables economical, scalable, highly available, line-rate Ethernet and IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) edge services.

Key Features and Benefits

• Pluggable 1-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP), 10-Gigabit SFP (XFP), and 40-Gigabit Quad SFP (QSFP) interfaces: Provide the capability to mix and match interface types across a single line card.
• G.709 and Advanced FEC: Standard G.709 providing transmission-layer operations, administration, and maintenance (OA&M); G.709 Standard FEC and Advanced FEC for enhanced transmission system performance.
• Scalable and Integrated Multiservice Support: Layer 2 and Layer 3 services including combined IP, MPLS, Ethernet, Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN), and Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) services.
• Evolutionary Monitoring – Carrier-class OA&M: NetFlow, IEEE 802.1ag, IEEE 802.3ah, ITU Y.1731, IP service-level agreement (IP SLA), virtual circuit connectivity verification (VCCV), ping, and traceroute.
• Video monitoring (VidMon): VidMon providing real-time monitoring of video flows, including issuance of alarm upon degradation.
• Carrier-Grade OS: Cisco IOS XR Software – Modular, patchable, restartable, scalable, highly available, carrier-core and edge-proven operating system.
• T-Class Synchronization – Synchronous Ethernet: Derives and provides synchronization from and to Ethernet interfaces, Cisco ASR 9000 Series RSPs, and network synchronization interfaces.
• IEEE 1588-2008: Cisco ASR 9000 Series support of the IEEE 1588-2008 protocol provides the capability to distribute precision time.

The A9K-9922-FAN-V2 fan tray ensures these advanced features operate reliably in the ASR 9922 chassis. Line cards are fully compatible with ASR 9922, 9010, and 9006 systems, RSPs, and other line cards. Customers can mix and match modular port adapters to customize ports, such as combining 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet with 20-port 1-Gigabit Ethernet in one slot. Each line card supports simultaneous Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, reducing CapEx and OpEx while accelerating service deployment.

With synchronization circuitry and dedicated backplane timing traces, the system supports standards-based line-interface functions for transport-class network timing, ideal for mobile backhaul and TDM migration. Coupled with Cisco RSP-440, it enables IEEE 1588v2 synchronization. Integrated media-monitoring technology provides real-time statistics for video and voice flows, enabling proactive maintenance. G.709 with Advanced FEC offers visibility into DWDM systems, rapid recovery from impairments, and extended performance without regeneration costs.

Line Card Variants and Optimization

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series modular line cards are available in Service Edge Optimized (enhanced QoS) and Packet Transport Optimized (basic QoS) variants. Different types can be mixed within the same system. Feature licenses enable advanced capabilities like VRF instances, G.709/FEC, and inline video monitoring on a per-line-card basis. System-level licenses support lawful intercept, advanced mobile synchronization, BNG, and video monitoring across all line cards.

Software and Deployment

Deployable with Cisco IOS XR Software Release 4.2.0 or later. Visit the Cisco Software Center for downloads. The fan tray supports line card online insertion and removal (OIR) without system impact, ensuring high availability.
