This section explains NCS 1014 overview. Use it to understand the purpose, behavior, and dependencies that support the related NCS 1000 platform workflow.
The NCS 1014 chassis delivers a universal transponder solution that supports metro, long-haul, and submarine deployments.
-
Supports transponder and line system cards in a 2RU form factor.
-
Designed for high-performance optical transport applications.
-
Integrates with the OAS end-to-end solution alongside NCS 1001.
Deployment guidance
Use the NCS 1014 where transponder capacity is required.
-
Install the chassis in a rack that meets EIA, ANSI, or ETSI requirements.
-
Follow the power and grounding requirements for the site.
-
Deploy NCS 1014 shelves at aggregation sites that terminate optical channels from the NCS1001 line system.
-
If a site only requires line system functions, use NCS1001 without adding transponder shelves.
