Cisco NCS 1000 passive modules

The Cisco NCS 1000 passive modules includes these details.

• The Cisco NCS 1000 passive modules power the Cisco NCS 1010 chassis to offer an optical line system solution.

• The passive modules enable the NCS 1010 chassis to implement long-haul and metro topologies. The Cisco NCS 1010 supports the following passive modules:

Cisco NCS 1000 Breakout Patch Panel is colorless breakout-modular patch panel that has these details:

• It is powered by the NCS 1010 chassis using a single USB 2.0 cable from the NCS 1010 EITU. The breakout panel contains four USB 2.0 connections that power the breakout modules. It allows connections between the OLT-C and OLT-R-C line cards that are installed in the NCS 1010 chassis and the four breakout modules using MPO cables. The breakout panel supports up to 72 colorless Mux/Demux channels and 8-directional interconnections.

• The breakout panel is 4 RU high and has adjustable fiber guides for fiber routing. The empty slots are covered with dummy covers. The panel is shipped with USB 2.0 connectors that are connected to the corresponding dummy covers. The plastic transparent cover can be installed in front of the panel for fiber protection. The panel is designed to fit a 19-inch rack. The panel can also be installed on ETSI and 23-inch rack using adapter brackets.

The NCS1K-BRK-8 breakout module has these details.

• The NCS1K-BRK-8 module provides the breakout of 16 fibers from an MPO-24 connector to 8 duplex line card connectors. It essentially performs an optical connection adaptation of MPO-to-LC connectors for the ADD/DROP signals of the MPO ports of OLT line cards.

• For each port (MPO and LC), power monitors with tone detection capability are available. A filtered optical loopback (191.175 THz) from one MPO input port (fiber-1) to all MPO output ports is available for connection verification.

The NCS1K-BRK-24 breakout module has the following details.

• The NCS1K-BRK-24 module provides the breakout of 16 fibers from an MPO-24 connector to 24 duplex LC connectors. The signals on each fiber from the MPO input ports are split over three LC output ports by a 1x3 optical splitter. The signals from the three adjacent input LC ports are combined into a single MPO fiber output port through a 1x3 optical coupler. For each port (MPO and LC), power monitors with tone detection capability are available. A filtered optical loopback (191.175 THz) from one MPO input port (fiber-1) to all MPO output ports is available for connection verification.

• The following image displays port connections between BRK-24 panel and NCS 1010 and NCS 1004 chassis.

The Cisco NCS 1000 32-channel mux/demux patch panels has the following details.

• The Cisco NCS 1000 32-Channel Mux/Demux patch panels are a pair of passive Athermal Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AAWG) based modules (PIDs NCS1K-MD-32O-C and NCS1K-MD-32E-C). Each Mux/Demux panel has 32 channels and works as an add/drop unit for the OLT-C and OLT-R-C line cards. Each Mux/Demux panel allows the multiplexing and demultiplexing of 32 channels with 150-GHz spacing. 75-GHz frequency shift exists between the ODD and EVEN panels. When both panels are used on the same OLT (OLT-C and OLT-R-C) line cards, the combined capacity becomes 64 channels with 75-GHz spacing. Each Mux/Demux panel provides a wide optical pass-band support. When used as a standalone, each panel acts as an add/drop unit for 32 channels at 140 GBd.

• The NCS1K-MD-32O/E-C panel operates in C-band.

• The Cisco NCS 1000 Mux/Demux patch panels are fully passive. The units are powered with a USB 2.0 connection in the NCS 1010 chassis. The panels are capable of monitoring channel power, verifying connection, detecting tone, and reporting the inventory data.

• The following image displays the port connection between the Mux/Demux panels and NCS 1010 and routers.
