Cisco 1900 Series Router Ordering Guide

Unlock Best Pricing with In-stock, Ready-to-Ship Products

Cisco 1900 routers are the best choice after becoming the substitute for the previous Cisco 1800 series routers. Designed to meet the application demands of today’s small branches and to evolve to cloud-based services, the Cisco 1900 series delivers virtualized applications and highly secure collaboration through the widest array of WAN connectivity at high performance that offers concurrent services at up to 25 Mbps.

The Cisco 1900 routers have primarily two series, the Cisco 1941 and Cisco 1921. With five times the performance of the Cisco 1841, the Cisco 1941 is positioned for high-performance security, Metro Ethernet, high-density switching, and integrated wireless solutions. The Cisco 1921 Series, with three times the performance of the Cisco 1841, is targeted at the broad range of broadband solutions – Serial, T1/E1, xDSL.

The Cisco 1941 ISR supports two models: the Cisco 1941 and the Cisco 1941 Wireless. The wireless version of the Cisco 1941 is delivered from Cisco with an internal module for an 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN access point. Because the radio settings are country-and region-specific, the Cisco 1941 Wireless has part-number variants that offer these region-specific solutions.

Part numbers of Cisco 1900 Series are listed in the following table.

You can order the Cisco 1941 with an AC or PoE type of power supply. The Cisco 1941 does not offer a DC version of the power supply, and it does not support an external RPS.

The Cisco 1921 ships with an integrated AC power supply by default, and you do not need to select the AC power supply. In order to power ports on a switch module in a Cisco 1921 or 1941, you must order the router with a PoE power supply. For the Cisco 1921, the PoE power supply is external to the router.

More Ordering Tips for Cisco ISR G2

Ordering Common Items Across Cisco 3900, 2900, and 1900 Series Routers

Each of the routers in the Cisco ISR G2 portfolio (except the Cisco 1921) ships with a default accessory kit consisting of:

  • 19-inch rack-mount brackets (for the Cisco 1921, you must order the rack-mount kit because it does not ship by default)
  • Regulatory & Compliance Safety Information (RCSI) guide

The default accessory kit does not include any Category 5 RJ-45 Ethernet cables or cables for the router console or auxiliary port. You can order the console and auxiliary cables as an option during router configuration or as spares. The Cisco ISR G2 routers offer an innovative USB-based console port, which needs a separate console cable.

You can order the 23-inch rack-mount brackets, the blank faceplates for module slots, and slot dividers as spares. There is a blank faceplate spare for the service-module slot (SM- BLANK-KIT=) that is unique to the Cisco 2921 and 3925 to cover the gap left behind on removal of doublewide service modules. This part number is a combination of the service-module blank attached to the service-module slot divider to create an L-shaped piece. Under normal usage with singlewide service modules, this area is covered by a blank faceplate and does not allow for insertion of any singlewide service module. Similarly, for the Cisco 1941, there is a high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC) blank faceplate spare (HWIC-BLANK-KIT=) to cover the gap left behind from the removal of doublewide HWICs. This part number is a combination of the HWIC blank attached to the HWIC slot divider to form an L-shaped piece.

Opacity shields are also available on the Cisco 1921, 2900, and 3900 ISRs that meet the Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS) 140-3 Level 2 opacity requirement. Opacity shields are not required for the Cisco 1941 because the router ships with a solid cover and the router interior is not exposed.

The following Table lists the part numbers for cables, rack-mount brackets, blank faceplates, and FIPS shields for the Cisco 3900, 2900, and 1900 Series ISRs.

Cisco Configuration Professional is a device-configuration application that supports configuration of the Cisco ISR G2s. By default, the platforms ship with Cisco Configuration Professional Express installed on the Compact Flash in slot 0 (ISR-CCP-EXP). A full version of Cisco Configuration Professional is available as a free download on Cisco.com, or you can order a CD with a new ISR system. To order a full copy of the Cisco Configuration Professional software, select one of the CD option part numbers during router configuration or order it as a spare later.
