Cisco NCS 1001 Overview

This chapter provides an overview of Cisco NCS 1001.

Cisco NCS 1001 Overview

Cisco NCS 1001 (NCS1001-K9) is 1 RU chassis that addresses the growing bandwidth needs of data center DWDM applications. It provides a DWDM line system that is optimized for data center environments and is optimized for point-to-point applications at maximum capacity. NCS 1001 supports up to three optical modules. The modules can be amplifiers or protection switching modules.

NCS 1001 has the following components:

  • Removable control card

  • Four removable fans

  • Two removable 600W AC/DC or DC/DC power supply modules (PSU)

  • Three slots for optical modules. Two Optical Amplifier Modules ( NCS1K-EDFA) and a Protection Switching Module (NCS1K-PSM) can be inserted in these slots.

    The optical modules can be inserted in slots 1 to 3 as shown in the following figure. The optical modules can be inserted and removed from the slots while the system is operational. In amplified configuration, the Optical Amplifier module can be inserted in any slot. In (section) protected configuration, the protect Optical Amplifier module is inserted in slot 1, Protection Switching Module in slot 2, and working Optical Amplifier module in slot 3.


Caution

Each optical module must be inserted in a slot only when the module in the adjacent slot is completely inserted and seated or the adjacent slot is empty. If an optical module is inserted in a slot without seating the adjacent module, the ejector might interfere with the adjacent module.


Caution
The empty slots must be inserted with the filler optical modules or filler PSUs as appropriate to guarantee safety and system cooling compliance. See Cisco NCS 1001 Front View and Cisco NCS 1001 Rear View to identify the slots for optical modules and PSUs respectively.

COM-CHECK

COM-CHECK CONFIGURATION

The COM-CHECK configuration is described below.

  • Safety must be ensured to protect the fiber intra-node from the pre-amplifier to the Mux or Demux section for the total output power on COM-TX port upto 23 dB. This is required to compensate for an extremely lengthy span.

  • If the output power on COM-TX is less than or equal to 20 dB, the com-check port may not be used and can be turned off. Also no physical connection between the pre COM-CHECK and Demux monitor port is required.

  • Safety on pre is necessary in some cases such as large spans over high power requirements.

  • The COM-CHECK PD9 is the safety port.

  • The COM-RX like controller Ots 0/s/0/0 is not part of safety.

  • The safety restart process is similar to the booster case, with some difference in the APR Check phase.

Protection Switching Module

The protection switching module (NCS1K-PSM) provides the following functionality.

  • In TX section:

    • Splits input optical channels to both working and protection lines.

    • Forces the switch in the remote site by opening one of the two line paths (by putting the related VOA in AVS).

  • In RX section:

    • Selects the signals from working or protection line. Each line is monitored through a PD.

    • Balances the two line losses by changing the VOA attenuation value at the same time of the switch change of state.

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer Module

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a line card supported in NCS 1001. The line card contains 2x bidirectional OTDRs and 2x filter that combines C-band, OSC, and OTDR filters and splits OSC and OTDR. Each internal OTDR can perform measurements on both TX and RX fiber by using an internal optical switch. OTDR line card is connected to the OSC port on the optical amplifier. The OTDR line card can be inserted in any slot of NCS 1001.

NCS1K-MD-32x-CE mux/demux passive patch panels

NCS1K-MD-32x-CE mux/demux passive patch panels are a pair of optical patch panels that

  • use passive Athermal Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AAWG) technology to multiplex and demultiplex signals across multiple channels,

  • support 32 channels per panel with 150-GHz spacing and offer wide optical pass-band support, and

  • enable add/drop functions for the NCS 1001 and NCS 1014 optical line systems and can be paired (ODD and EVEN panels) to achieve 64 channels with 75-GHz spacing.

Supported Panels:

  • NCS1K-MD-32E-CE (EVEN panel)

  • NCS1K-MD-32O-CE (ODD panel)

Key features and usage:

  • Each mux/demux panel allows multiplexing and demultiplexing for 32 channels with a channel spacing of 150 GHz.

  • When both ODD and EVEN panels are used together on the same NCS 1001 or NCS 1014 optical line system, the combined capacity becomes 64 channels with 75-GHz spacing.

  • Each panel acts as an add/drop unit for 32 channels at 140 GBd in standalone mode.

  • The panels operate fully in the C-band and are enhanced versions of the NCS1K-MD-32O/E-C patch panels.

Cisco ONS 15216 4 channel optical add/drop multiplexers

A Cisco ONS 15216 4 channel optical add/drop multiplexer is a passive optical networking device that

  • enables the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) to address the network edge cost-effectively without sacrificing operational ease,

  • is well suited for applications with minimal wavelength requirements and tight space and power constraints, such as cell site and customer premises terminations, and

  • offers ten models covering a 40-channel 100-GHz channel plan.

The Cisco ONS 15216 4 channel OADMs support flexible deployment, especially where space and power are limited. These models allow edge optical networking to be extended economically, meeting both operational and environmental constraints.

In Release 25.4.1, NCS 1001 supports USB inventory only for Cisco ONS 15216 4 channel optical add/drop multiplexer.

USB passive inventories

A USB passive inventory is a system feature that

  • automatically detects and collects key parameters (such as Product ID, Description, Serial Number, and Version ID) from passive optical modules when connected via USB,

  • enables real-time inventory visibility and management for network administrators,

  • ensures compatibility and traceability of passive modules within NCS 1001 hardware environments.

Description

USB inventory support

Cisco IOS XR Release 25.4.1

NCS 1001 can now retrieve information from additional passive devices connected to its USB ports. The feature extends support beyond previously supported passive devices, allowing you to access data from a wider range of connected equipment. The passive devices include:

  • NCS 1000 32 chs Even Mux/Demux Patch Panel (NCS1K-MD-32E-CE )

  • NCS 1000 32 chs Odd Mux/Demux Patch Panel (NCS1K-MD-32O-CE)

  • Cisco ONS 15216 4 Channel OADMs

How USB passive inventories work

When a supported passive unit is physically connected to one of the four available USB ports on the controller card of the NCS 1001, the inventory system automatically queries and retrieves the module's parameters. This information includes PID, Description, Serial Number, and Version ID. Only one passive unit can be inventoried at a time per USB port.

The inventory data is immediately accessible through operational commands such as show inventory in XR or through admin sessions. These commands provide clear module identification directly from the system interface. Inventory records can also be accessed through SNMP “entPhysicalEntity” objects, telemetry, and NETCONF using the yang model Cisco-IOS-XR-invmgr-oper.yang. This enables automated network management and monitoring.

From Release 25.4.1, NCS 1001 supports USB inventory management for these devices:

  • NCS 1000 32 chs Even Mux/Demux Patch Panel (NCS1K-MD-32E-CE )

  • NCS 1000 32 chs Odd Mux/Demux Patch Panel (NCS1K-MD-32O-CE)

  • Cisco ONS 15216 4 Channel OADMs


Note

For the MD32 patch panel, NCS1001 can only retrieve data from the inventory. It cannot access LED or photodiode status, nor can it configure the device in any way.
