ASR1002-5G-SEC/K9 Cisco ASR 1002 Security Router Bundle

The Cisco ASR5K‑BLNK‑FR is a front blanking panel spare accessory for the Cisco ASR 5000 Series service‑provider router chassis. Instead of supplying active network interfaces or processing functionality, this blank panel fills an unused front‑facing slot or opening on the router to protect the internal components from dust, debris, and accidental contact while preserving the system’s designed airflow and cooling performance. By installing the ASR5K‑BLNK‑FR in place of an empty slot, network teams can help maintain proper thermal efficiency, safety, and a neat professional appearance in the chassis, as well as ensure compliance with Cisco’s hardware design guidelines for reliable long‑term operation of the ASR 5000 platform.
