Quick Take
Quick Take: Both ASR1006-X and ASR1009-X hardware hit end of sale on 31 July 2026. An “ASR” line on a spreadsheet is not an order. Match ASR1006-X or ASR1009-X, then match every line card on the Cisco bulletin, and put support years on the same PO. After that date, treat Refresh / remaining stock lead time as pending confirmation. For China enterprise RFQs, freeze the equal brief for 双规比选 before asking TAOHAN for 13% VAT special fapiao pricing.
What This Last-Order Window Covers
Definition: This memo covers Cisco ASR1006-X chassis end-of-sale and ASR1009-X chassis-and-line-card end-of-sale — both with hardware last-order date 31 July 2026. It is not a blanket “all ASR are dead” notice. ASR 900, ASR 920, ASR 9000, and ASR1001-X have different bulletins and different dates.
Think of a bare “ASR quote” like ordering “a truck” without saying which chassis. Receiving docks and China bid scorecards need the exact PID. Cisco Technology Migration Program (TMP) may apply via partner where eligible. Catalyst 8300 / 8500 are the public ASR 1000 successor family in Cisco edge positioning — not an automatic 1:1 throughput swap.
Fit: buyers with ASR1006-X or ASR1009-X on a 2026 PO.
Unfit: ASR 9000 or NCS projects — use those families’ own bulletins.
Key Dates and Named PIDs
Quick Answer: End-of-Sale HW for both chassis families is 31 July 2026. ASR1009-X chassis-and-line-card PDF announcement date is 30 April 2026. After EOS, Cisco Refresh may have limited supply until last date of support — confirm on the live bulletin.
| Item | Published fact | Buyer note |
|---|---|---|
| ASR1006-X EOS HW | 31 July 2026 | Last date to order through Cisco POS |
| ASR1006-X PIDs named | ASR1006-X, ASR1006-X=, ASR1006X-ACS, ASR1006X-ACS= | Match the bulletin; do not invent extras |
| ASR1009-X EOS HW | 31 July 2026 | PDF covers chassis and line cards together |
| ASR1009-X announcement | 30 April 2026 | Use the live PDF before PO |
| After EOS | Cisco Refresh / remaining stock possible | Lead time = pending confirmation |
| TAC after EOS | Active contracts continue per bulletin Table 1 | Quote the bulletin; do not invent last-support day |
- ASR1006-X chassis EOL page is the authority for that chassis PID set.
- ASR1009-X PDF is the authority for chassis and line cards named there — match every card before PO.
- No public net price on this page. Soft corridors = industry estimate / pending confirmation.
Chassis Date vs Line-Card Date
Quick Answer: ASR1006-X bulletin is chassis-focused. ASR1009-X bulletin covers chassis and line cards together. ESP/SPA and other cards may sit on separate PID tables — never assume the chassis date covers every daughter card.
| Dimension | ASR1006-X | ASR1009-X |
|---|---|---|
| EOS HW | 31 July 2026 | 31 July 2026 |
| Bulletin scope | Chassis PIDs named on EOL page | Chassis + line cards on PDF |
| Line-card risk | Confirm ESP/SPA on their own rows | Match every PID on the live PDF |
| Migration language | TMP where applicable; Catalyst 8000 sizing | Same — sizing required |
BOM Checklist Before PO
- Exact chassis PID: ASR1006-X or ASR1009-X (plus spare “=” variants if required).
- Every line-card / ESP / SPA PID from the live bulletin — no invented extras.
- Support / TAC years aligned with active contract language on the bulletin.
- If post-31-July: Refresh or remaining-stock flag + pending lead time.
- If replacing: Catalyst 8300 or 8500 sizing worksheet + old interface list.
- Equal brief for 双规比选 — same PID set on both bid paths.
HowTo: Check an ASR1000 Chassis PID Against the July 2026 EOS Date
Quick Answer: Name the chassis, match every card, calendar-gate the PO, lock support years, and size Catalyst 8000 only when replacing — then freeze the equal brief.
- Step 1 — Name the chassis PID. Write ASR1006-X or ASR1009-X explicitly — never a bare “ASR” row.
- Step 2 — Match every line card. Copy each line-card PID from the live Cisco bulletin before PO.
- Step 3 — Calendar gate. If the PO is after 31 July 2026, mark Refresh/remaining stock and pending lead time.
- Step 4 — Support years. Put TAC/support years on the same PO while active contracts still apply per the bulletin.
- Step 5 — Migration path. If replacing, size Catalyst 8300/8500 against the old interface list — no 1:1 claim without sizing.
- Step 6 — Equal brief. Freeze the equal BOM for 双规比选 before channel confirmation.

Real-World Deployment Scenarios
Quick Answer: Three scenes: a pre-July spare chassis buy, a post-July Refresh gamble, and a forced Catalyst migration that skips interface sizing.
1) Spares before 31 July 2026
Ops still runs ASR1006-X. Buyer adds a spare chassis and ACS kit before EOS. Win condition: PIDs match the bulletin and support years sit on the same PO.
2) Quote after EOS
Tender slips past 31 July. Distributor offers Refresh. Scorecard must say pending lead time — not “new POS ship date.”
3) Migration without sizing
Someone swaps the model name to Catalyst 8500. Throughput and interface density miss. Fix: size 8300/8500 against the old ASR interface list first.

Key Takeaway
Key Takeaway: 31 July 2026 is the hardware last-order date for ASR1006-X and ASR1009-X. Name the chassis, match every line card, and size Catalyst 8000 only with an interface worksheet. TAOHAN supports China enterprise equal BOMs and 13% VAT special fapiao after the PID brief is frozen.
