Cisco NCS 1002 Overview

This chapter provides an overview of Cisco NCS 1002.

Cisco NCS 1002 Overview

Cisco NCS 1002 is a 2Tbps muxponder that addresses the growing bandwidth needs of data center DWDM applications. It provides dense, low power (<80W per 100G), and cost optimized DWDM transport for 10G, 40G, and 100G clients. The trunk ports can operate at 100G, 200G, and 250G traffic. The muxponder is 2 RU. NCS 1002 is ROHS6 compliant.

NCS 1002 has four independent slices. Each slice contains five QSFP+/QFSP28 client optical ports and two CFP2 DWDM trunk ports. Each slice delivers up to 500 Gbps traffic.

Safety Labels

Cisco NCS 1000 Series chassis is classified as Hazard Level 1M as per IEC 60825-2 and Laser Class 1M as per IEC 60825-1, since it includes pluggable optical modules Class 1 or Class 1M.

The Class 1/1M Laser Product label is shown in the following figure:

This section explains the significance of the safety labels attached to the NCS 1002 chassis.

You must understand all warning labels before working on the chassis.

Safety Precaution for Module Installation and Removal

Ensure to observe the following safety precautions when you are working with the chassis modules.

Invisible laser radiations present. Statement 1016.

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051.

SFP+ Support

Each slice contains five QSFP+ client optical ports and two CFP2 DWDM trunk ports. From R6.5.1, the SFP+ optical modules can be inserted in the QSFP+ client ports (where break out is supported) using the QSA-SFP adapter. This allows the 10G QSFP+ ports to carry traffic on a single lane (Lane 1). All the features applicable to 10G client mode are supported when a QSA with 10G SFP is used.

In a slice configured in 10G client mode, both the SFP and QSFP modules can be combined. This means the same slice can operate with both 4*10G optics and 10G QSA-SFP optics.
