Cisco NCS 4000 400G WDM w/Packet/OTN - 10x QSFP + 2x CFP2 Line Card
The Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS) 4000 400 Gbps Universal line card converges Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM), Optical Transport Networking (OTN) and Packet services into a single line card. The Universal line card can be provisioned to provide any combination of 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps grey services as well as 100 Gbps, 150 Gbps and 200 Gbps DWDM services. The card has been engineered to be a Universal line card: all services and applications supported by NCS 4000 can be efficiently deployed using just this card, without stranding any bandwidth.
The Cisco NCS 4000 Universal line card dramatically enhances system density and performances delivering 400 Gbps capacity per slot (6.4 Tbps per NCS 4016 chassis), and the ability to map traffic across the different ports on the faceplate. Selecting the type of pluggable optics, on a port-by-port basis, defines the unique profile of each Universal line card:
- Up to 2x 200 Gbps Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wavelengths using the CFP2 ports
- Up to 4x 100GE/OTU4 Client interfaces using the QSFP28 ports
- Up to 10x 40GE/OTU3 Client Interfaces using the QSFP+/QSFP28 ports
- Up to 40x 10GE/OTU2 Client Interfaces using the QSFP+/QSFP28 ports
- Any mix and combination of the above
The Cisco NCS 4000 400 Gbps Universal line card simplifies the integration and transport of 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet and Optical Transport Unit (OTU) services for service provider and enterprise networks.
Challenge and Solution A growing number of network events are generated every day as billions of programmable devices connect to one another over the Internet. This imposes new expectations on network performance. As the Internet of Everything (IoE) builds, the role of the network to support, manage, and control these programmable device-driven events becomes critical as these tasks rapidly surpass the capacity of manual intervention. Networks must evolve to support new levels of virtualization, programmability, and performance. Networks must now scale not just bandwidth, but also compute and control functions to manage policies and generate the proper responses within the expected timeframe.
With just one line card, the Cisco NCS 4000 400 Gbps DWDM/OTN/Packet Universal line card, network operators are able to grow with programmability, scale, and convergence across the photonic, OTN, and packet switching layers. Combined, the Cisco NCS 4000 and the 400 Gbps Universal line card provide network operators with an enhanced architectural approach to profitably deliver innovative and flexible services across an evolved programmable network, while simultaneously increasing resiliency and dramatically reducing capital expenditures.
