The Cisco A9K-RSP440-TR is a routing engine. It is a module that installs into a host chassis and does not run on its own. This unit is refurbished (used): inspected, powered on and functionally tested by Townsend Networks technicians before listing. It ships as the module only.

Compatible with
ASR 9904, ASR 9010 and ASR 9006 chassis, either as the only processor or as a redundant pair in two slots. Cisco lists the packet transport line cards A9K-40GE-TR, A9K-4T16GE-TR and A9K-1X100GE-TR among those that work with the RSP 440.
HOW IT DIFFERS
A9K-RSP440-TR is the earlier packet transport route switch processor: 6 GB of ECC DRAM, two 16 GB SSDs and 220 Gbps per slot with one RSP or 440 Gbps per slot with a pair. Cisco's data sheet puts it at 20 lb (9 kg), 170 W typical and 450 W maximum, with IOS XR 4.2.0 as the first release. Its sister A9K-RSP880-TR carries 16 GB of DRAM, two 32 GB SSDs and an 8 core processor, and needs IOS XR 5.3.0.

Questions about the Cisco ASR 9000 family

What do TR and SE mean on an ASR 9000 RSP?
TR is Cisco's packet transport version and SE its service edge version. The SE versions carry more memory for large service deployments: 12 GB on the RSP440-SE against 6 GB on the RSP440-TR, and 32 GB on the RSP880-SE against 16 GB on the RSP880-TR.
What is the difference between the A9K-RSP440-TR and the A9K-RSP880-TR?
The RSP 880 is the later generation. Cisco's data sheets give the RSP440-TR 6 GB of ECC DRAM and 220 Gbps of fabric capacity per slot with one RSP, 440 Gbps with two; the RSP880-TR has 16 GB of ECC DRAM and Cisco rates its fabric at 880G non-redundant and 440G redundant. When Cisco ended sale of the RSP 440 it pointed customers to RSP 880 part numbers.
Are the RSP 440 and RSP 880 end of life?
Yes. The A9K-RSP440-TR reached end of sale on 30 August 2017 and its last date of support was 31 August 2022. The A9K-RSP880-TR reached end of sale on 1 August 2022 and its last date of support is 31 July 2027; Cisco named the A9K-RSP5-TR as its replacement.
Which ASR 9000 chassis take these route switch processors?
Cisco lists both the RSP 440 and the RSP 880 for the ASR 9904, ASR 9010 and ASR 9006 chassis. The ASR-9006-FAN is the fan tray for the ASR 9006 only.
What condition and warranty come with a Cisco ASR 9000 part from Townsend?
Each listing prints its own condition. Units sold as new, refurbished or used are bench tested before they are listed: every port and module slot is checked and the previous owner's configuration is erased. They are covered by the Townsend warranty from the date of delivery; if the hardware fails in normal use we repair it or replace it with a tested unit, and the length and terms are on our warranty page. Unused hardware can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Cisco software licences and support contracts are not part of our warranty.
