Cisco A9K-48P10G-TR-UPG= 48-Port 1G to 10G Upgrade License | ASR 9000 — A9K-48P10G-TR-UPG=

Raise port speed on deployed TR LC hardware without a disruptive hardware refresh. The Cisco 48-port 1G to 10G upgrade license for TR LC is designed for teams that need more throughput from installed infrastructure while keeping the same operational footprint. It is a practical way to extend the life of existing line cards and align capacity with growing traffic demands. This license is well suited for environments where port density already exists, but bandwidth pressure is increasing across aggregation, transport, or service edge roles. By enabling 10G operation across 48 ports, it helps reduce bottlenecks and supports higher-speed service delivery on the platform you already own. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: preserve capital, avoid premature replacement, and unlock more performance from a known Cisco platform. That makes it easier to scale in place, maintain consistency across the network, and justify upgrades with measurable operational gain rather than a full hardware swap. Ideal For Upgrading deployed TR LC ports from 1G to 10G in an existing ASR 9000 chassis Expanding aggregation bandwidth without replacing line cards Extending the service life of installed Cisco transport hardware Adding higher-speed uplink capacity in carrier or enterprise edge networks Why This Product 1 Enables 10G speeds without replacing the line card 2 Covers 48 ports in a single entitlement 3 Fits Cisco TR LC environments already in service 4 Targets capacity growth with lower disruption than hardware refresh
