Description
Cisco 6208 Network Convergence System – 2.1″ Width x 15.8″ Depth x 22.5″ HeightCisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series 20-Port 100-Gbps Multiservice Line Card with Combo Optics and Cisco AnyPort Technology
The Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS) 6000 Series Routers offer exceptional network agility and petabit per second system scale. The Cisco NCS 6000 Series also facilitates the build-out of the next-generation core to support elastic capacity at a low TCO and to deliver high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services.
Using the industry-leading Cisco IOS® XR operating system, running in a virtualized environment, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series advances the concept of distributed routing and virtualization. Using virtualized Cisco IOS XR, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series brings new levels of programmability and virtualization to increase application service offerings, accelerate provisioning, and make the network more cost effective.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series is powered by the Cisco nPower family of Network Processor Units (NPU). Designed to deliver the industry’s first Zero-Packet Loss (ZPL) and Zero-Topology Loss (ZTL) software upgrade capability, these state-of-the-art programmable forwarding ASICs are an evolution from the 10-port 100-Gbps Line Cards.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series is engineered for environmental efficiency by offering an adaptable power-consumption model for its ASICs, and the use of revolutionary CMOS photonics technology. With these technologies together, the Cisco NCS 6000 Series can offer one of the most power-efficient footprints in the service provider routing space.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series 20-port 100-Gbps Multiservice Line Card is compatible with the existing NCS 6000 chassis and route processors but mandates the use of the Universal Fabric Card (UFC), version 2 Fan Trays & UFC licenses.
Features and benefits
The Cisco NCS 6000 Series 20-port 100-Gbps Multiservice (MS) line cards are industry-leading solutions that allow service providers to offer two Terabit Per Second (Tbps) of throughput over 20 ports with 100-Gbps interfaces. Optimized for high-speed, high scale IP and MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) forwarding applications, they provide industry-leading forwarding scale, ultra-fast convergence and Quality of Service (QoS) at wire rate.
Each line card supports a combo of CPAK and QSPF optics:
- 8 CPAK 100-Gbps ports
- 12 QSFP28 100-Gbps ports
Cisco AnyPort technology enables under software control and in conjunction with the CPAK optical modules, various high-speed Ethernet rates. For example, the use of Cisco CPAK-100G-SR10 modular optics enables the following short-reach interface options per CPAK port:
- 1 port of 100 Gigabit Ethernet
- 10 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Using the Cisco CPAK-100G-SR10 modules and a breakout MMF panel (NCS-PP-100X10-SR; Figure 2), the 20- port 100-Gbps Cisco MS line card with AnyPort technology can support up to 80 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet short- reach MMF interfaces per card, 640 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet short- reach MMF interfaces per chassis and 10,240 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet short- reach MMF interfaces per system.
Optics on the 20-port 100-Gbps MS line cards with combo optics allow for different optical capabilities at the same rates:
- Short reach using Multimode Fiber (MMF) connectivity with CPAK-100G-SR10 & QSFP-100G-SR4-S modules
- Long reach using Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) connectivity with CPAK-100G-LR4, CPAK-10X10G-LR & QSFP-100G-LR4-S modules
- Extended reach with Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) connectivity using CPAK-10X10G-ERL modules
