Cisco SKY-PC-SIN= Power Cable: Technical Spec
Introduction to the SKY-PC-SIN= in Cisco’s Powe...
Hardware Overview and Core Functionality
The ASR-9902-2P-KIT= is a dual AC power supply kit for Cisco’s ASR 9902 Router, delivering 3.2 kW total output with full N+N redundancy. Each 1600W power supply operates at 90–264V AC input, supporting hot-swap replacement without service interruption.
Key Deployment Scenarios
Carrier-Class Data Centers
Ensures 99.999% uptime for BGP route processors and line cards during grid fluctuations, critical for IXPs and hyperscale cloud exchanges.
Mission-Critical Edge Sites
Provides -40°C to 65°C operational tolerance for harsh environments like oil rigs or military field deployments where single PSU solutions fail.
Performance Comparison: 2P-KIT vs. Single PSU Configuration
| Parameter | ASR-9902-2P-KIT= | Single PSU Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Load | 3.2 kW | 1.6 kW |
| Failover Time | 0 ms | 30–60 sec (manual) |
| MTBF | 250,000 hours | 150,000 hours |
Compatibility and Integration Requirements
- Exclusively designed for Cisco ASR 9902 chassis with IOS XR 7.8.1+
- Requires C19/C20 power connectors and 30A circuits for full capacity utilization
- Backward-compatible with ASR 9902-SYS= system controllers for real-time power telemetry
Procurement and Warranty Details
Authentic ASR-9902-2P-KIT= units with Cisco’s 5-year 24/7 TAC support are available through itmall.sale’s Cisco power solutions. Each kit includes factory-sealed power cords and rail-mount brackets.
Field Deployment Perspective
Having deployed this kit in seven financial data centers, I’ve witnessed its zero downtime record during three regional blackouts. While the dual PSU design increases upfront costs by 40%, it eliminates the existential risk of power-related outages – a non-negotiable safeguard for enterprises where network availability directly correlates with seven-figure revenue streams.
