The Cisco SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 is a renewed shared port adapter designed for the ASR1000 series routers, delivering a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface with consistent throughput and low latency. This hardware module integrates one XFP-based 10GBASE-LR port, supporting long‑reach optical connections up to 10 km over single‑mode fiber. The renewed unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets original performance specifications, with all components—including the FPGA, memory modules, and power regulation circuits—verified for correct operation. The adapter uses a robust aluminum chassis with precision‑engineered mounting brackets, offering mechanical stability within the router chassis. Its thermal management design includes a dedicated heatsink and airflow channels that maintain optimal operating temperatures under continuous load, reducing the risk of throttling or failure. The SPA architecture allows direct connection to the ASR1000’s fabric, minimizing packet processing overhead and enabling wire‑speed forwarding for jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes. This makes it suitable for data‑center aggregation, service‑provider edge routing, and enterprise backbone deployments requiring high‑capacity links. The renewed status provides a cost‑effective alternative to new hardware while retaining the same form factor, firmware compatibility, and Cisco IOS feature support. Users can expect reliable performance equal to factory‑fresh units, with each adapter individually inspected for physical integrity—including connector cleanliness, solder joint quality, and board‑level cleanliness. The hardware is free from modifications and uses genuine Cisco‑sourced components, ensuring seamless integration with existing ASR1000 configurations. Although it is a single‑port solution, the adapter supports advanced features such as VLAN tagging, QoS, and link aggregation when paired with compatible router software. The lower price point makes it accessible for labs, remote offices, or budget‑sensitive upgrades without sacrificing the core 10 Gbps capability.

The SPA‑1X10GE‑L‑V2 (Renewed) represents a practical choice for expanding network capacity with mature technology and verified dependability.
