The ASR5K-PSC-32G-K9 Packet Services Card (PSC2) 32GB is a high-performance expansion module for Cisco ASR 5000 Series routers, providing 32 GB of packet buffering to optimize traffic handling and subscriber services.
The ASR5K-PSC-32G-K9 is compatible with Cisco ASR 5000 Series Access Service Routers that support the PSC2 architecture, enabling seamless upgrades and unified software management.
Key features include 32 GB packet buffer, hardware-based deep packet inspection, QoS support, carrier-grade performance, and hot-swappable design for zero-downtime upgrades.
The 32 GB buffer reduces packet loss during traffic bursts, ensures smooth subscriber experience under heavy loads, and enhances QoS by accommodating large queues without impacting throughput.
Yes, the ASR5K-PSC-32G-K9 PSC2 32GB card is hot-swappable, allowing installation or replacement without interrupting router operations or service delivery.
The PSC2 32 GB card requires Cisco ASR 5000 software Release 22.0 or later to support advanced packet services and complete feature integration.
Power down the router, insert the PSC2 32 GB card into an available line-card slot, secure the retention screws, then power up the router to auto-detect and initialize the module.
The ASR5K-PSC-32G-K9 PSC2 32 GB card consumes approximately 65 W under full load, with built-in power-management features to optimize energy efficiency.
Yes, the PSC2 32 GB card includes hardware acceleration for IPsec and TLS encryption, delivering secure, high-throughput packet processing for VPN and subscriber services.
No. Cisco recommends using only PSC2 cards in a given ASR 5000 chassis to maintain consistent software compatibility, performance, and support levels.
The card supports hierarchical QoS, weighted fair queuing, traffic shaping, policing, and deep packet inspection for real-time prioritization of voice, video, and data services.
With 32 GB buffering, multi-gigabit throughput, and advanced traffic management, the card scales to millions of sessions, ensuring reliable performance as subscriber demand grows.
The ASR5K-PSC-32G-K9 is covered by Cisco’s standard one-year limited hardware warranty, with optional extension via Cisco SMARTnet support for hardware replacement and software updates.
