The Cisco ASR5K-PSC-64G-K9 is a third-generation Packet Services Card (PSC3) with 64 GB of packet buffer designed for ASR 5000 series routers to optimize traffic management and subscriber services.
The PSC3 64GB card is compatible with Cisco ASR 5000 series routers, including ASR 5010, ASR 5020 and ASR 5030 chassis running IOS XR software.
To install, power off the ASR 5000 slot, slide the PSC3 64GB card into the designated packet services slot, secure the retention latches, then power on and verify installation via IOS XR CLI.
The PSC3 64GB provides up to 100 Gbps of packet processing throughput and low-latency buffering, ensuring high-speed service delivery and QoS enforcement.
Yes, the ASR5K-PSC-64G-K9 supports hot-swap insertion and removal without service disruption when deployed in redundant ASR 5000 configurations.
Key features include 64 GB DRAM packet buffer, 100 Gbps throughput, multi-tenant QoS, advanced traffic policing, burst management and full IOS XR control-plane integration.
The PSC3 64GB card supports up to four 10 Gigabit Ethernet or two 40 Gigabit Ethernet line cards per ASR 5000 router for flexible service deployments.
The PSC3 card consumes up to 50 W and requires chassis cooling as specified by ASR 5000 environmental operating ranges: 0–45 °C ambient temperature and front-to-back airflow.
Cisco IOS XR 5.3.1 and later releases include full feature support for the PSC3 64GB Packet Services Card on ASR 5000 platforms.
The PSC3 64GB card includes a limited lifetime warranty with advance hardware replacement and Cisco TAC support per Cisco’s standard service terms.
Use IOS XR CLI commands such as "show platform hardware slot <slot> psc status" and "show logging" to verify card health, buffer utilization and error counters.
Firmware upgrades are managed via Cisco IOS XR software images using "admin download" and "install activate" commands; refer to the ASR 5000 upgrade guide for details.
Genuine Cisco PSC3 64GB cards are available through authorized Cisco partners, resellers or the Cisco Commerce Workspace for verified hardware and support contracts.
Typical use cases include LTE/5G subscriber aggregation, deep packet inspection acceleration, video streaming QoE optimization and multi-service edge routing.
By providing high-capacity buffering, the PSC3 reduces packet loss during traffic bursts, enforces QoS policies more effectively and delivers consistent low-latency service.
As of the latest Cisco announcements, the PSC3 64GB card remains fully supported with active software maintenance and hardware replacement coverage.
