Cisco Network Convergence System 2000 Series Passive Patch Panel Modules Data Sheet
Available Languages
The Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000 Series evolved the Cisco ROADM portfolio by introducing Cisco nLight reconfigurable add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) technology. The support of touchless reconfigurability through colorless, omnidirectional, and contentionless add/drop is based upon nLight ROADM and upon a new set of self-healing patch panel modules that dramatically reduce installation time and maintenance cost.
Product Introduction
The large numbers of ports on the Cisco NCS 2000 Flex Spectrum Single Module ROADM Line Cards are made possible by the twin-WSS route and select architecture featured by Cisco nLight ROADMs (Figure 1). Channels are isolated by both the ingress and egress WSS, improving performance. By routing, instead of broadcasting, express channels, insertion loss is reduced, preserving optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). The Cisco nLight architecture therefore allows multidegree ROADM nodes, plus CCOFS add/drop, at large scale.
A specific set of passive auxiliary modules is used to support this level of flexibility, simplifying the fiber connectivity and allowing dramatic reduction in maintenance activities.
ROADM Passive Auxiliary Modules
Product Overview
The Cisco NCS 2000 features a new generation of passive modules to accommodate ROADM nodes built with the 16-Port Flex Spectrum ROADM Line Card and with the Flex Spectrum Single Module ROADM Line Cards.
Three types of modules—patch panel modules, add/drop modules, and adapter modules—are available, which fit into four slots of a 1-rack-unit (1-RU) mechanical frame chassis (MF-1RU) (Figure 2), in a 6-rack-unit (6-RU) 14-slot mechanical frame chassis (MF-6RU) (Figure 3), and 6-rack-unit (6-RU) 10-slot mechanical frame chassis (MF10-6RU) (Figure 4). Their passive nature helps ensure extremely high availability in a small, low-power footprint.
All the optical passive modules support USB connection, which is used to provide power to the modules and inventory information.
Both of the 6-RU versions of the chassis feature an integrated USB hub that allows a single USB 3.0 cable back to the external connection unit (ECU). Each of the modules is then connected to the USB hub with an internal USB connector, as shown in Figure 4.
Modular Patch Panel Modules
ROADM node architectures built with the 16-WXC and SMR-FS modules feature a modular approach to degree interconnection, offering a pay-as-you-grow model consisting of a combination of just two units: a 5-Degree Patch Panel Module (MF-DEG-5) and a 4-Degree Upgrade Patch Panel Module (MF-UPG-4) (Figure 5).

Features and Benefits
The ROADM node architecture has been specifically defined and engineered to provide:
● High reliability: The modular architecture enables complete independence between specific direction-facing units with the ability to house units in physically separated shelves.
● Low insertion loss: Selected technology allows direct integration of different functions in the same optical module, reducing to a minimum the number of optical connections.
● Reduced footprint: The auxiliary passive units integrate power monitoring with a minimum footprint, reducing node power consumption and increasing system density.
Each module is connected by USB with the ECU of the NCS 2006 chassis. The USB communication channel is used to:
● Retrieve the data stored in the nonvolatile memory of the module, specifically inventory data and the insertion loss of the optical paths
● Retrieve the optical power levels monitored by the photodiode of the module
● Activate an LED indicator on the front panel of each module
Connection Verification
Connection verification strategy has been built upon the specific hardware: that is, probe source signals and photodiodes distributed on primary points of optical units involved:
● Wavelength 97 laser and PD integrated in 20-port FS-SMR to:
◦ Check proper cabling of the SMR to the patch panel
◦ Measure insertion loss of the cabling
● All MPO connectors on the patch panel units equipped with PD on fiber 1
◦ Configuring the wavelength 97 signal to port 1 of the MPO allows verification of proper cabling between the SMR and the patch panel
● 8-fiber in the MPO connectors used for TX and RX interleaved
◦ All patch panel units shipped with loopbacks to be removed only for ports connected to SMR or CDC units
◦ From SMR and CDC units, it is possible to test all paths and validate insertion losses
A special MPO loopback connector is added during the manufacturing process on some ports of the optic cards, as shown in Figure 23.
The MPO connector is used to loop back TX signals on RX directions. This special tool shall both preserve connector status as it was after the manufacturing validation process of every produced unit and permit it to perform without any touch from the connection verification procedure.
The connection verification software application will monitor that insertion loss of all the connections as well as appropriate fiber connections are matching the target parameter, raising an alarm in case of mismatch with respect to the expected value.
Variant of MPO-16xLC, UPG-4, and DEG-5 passive optical modules are offered with pre-equipped loopbacks on the ports.
