End-of-life status

The ASR1001X-2.5G-K9 is end-of-sale

Cisco has declared the ASR1001X-2.5G-K9 end-of-sale, so it is no longer manufactured new. TFI supplies it professionally refurbished and tested.

Why refurbished still makes sense: a refurbished ASR1001X-2.5G-K9 delivers the same proven performance at a fraction of the new-equipment cost, backed by a TFI warranty and SLA. It is the practical choice for spares, expansion of an existing deployment, or extending the life of a network you are not ready to replace.
