Cisco ASR 1013 Router Power Supply Overview
This section provides information about the Cisco ASR 1013 power supply input requirements and 
power cable options.
The DC power supply for the Cisco ASR 1013, ASR 1006, ASR 1004, and ASR 1002 routers operate at 
individual specifications. Table 11-2 shows the common input ranges and circuit breaker requirements.
Power Cords Supported by the Cisco ASR 1013 Router
The following power cords are supported by the Cisco ASR 1013 Router:
• CAB-AC20A-90L-IN—20 A AC right-angle power cord—International
• CAB-4000W-US1—Power Cord, 250 VAC 20 A, Right Angle C19, NEMA 6-20 Plug, US
• CAB-US520-C19-US—NEMA 5-15 to IEC-C19 14ft US
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router modular chassis supports redundant power entry modules (PEMs). At least 
one PEM in each 1+1 redundant power supply zone must be functioning to power the zone and both 
zones must be functional. In the event of a single fan failure, the remaining fans are sufficient to cool the 
entire chassis although fan speed may have to be increased.
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router system is configured in a dual zone 1+1 power supply configuration. For 
ASR 1013 router power consumption specifications, see the “Cisco ASR 1013 Router Specifications” 
section on page A-500.
The following items list the maximum input and output of the system power consumption for the two 
power zones in the Cisco ASR 1013 Router:
• Maximum input (DC): 4,200W
• Maximum input (AC – High Line): 4,000 W 
• Maximum output (DC and AC – High Line): 3,390 W
Table 11-2 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router DC Power Supply System Input Requirements
Cisco ASR 1000 
Series Router DC 
Power Supply System Input Rating (Amps) Circuit Breaker Amps AWG # Wire
Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum
Cisco ASR 1006 40 Always 50  Always AWG #6 wire
Cisco ASR 1004 24 30 40 10 8
Cisco ASR 1002 16 20 30 12 10
Cisco ASR 1013 40 Always 50  Always AWG #6 wire
For example, the Cisco ASR 1002 Router DC power supply, with 16 Amp input rating must use an AWG #12 gauge wire for a 20 A circuit breaker and 
an AWG #10 gauge wire for a 30 A circuit breaker.
