Cisco NCS2K-100ME-CKC

Cisco NCS2K-100ME-CKC 100G CPAK Multi Rate Line Card - CP-DQPSK - Metro - C Band

Feature Overview

With advanced modulation schemes, the ability to transmit 100-Gbps wavelengths on existing or new DWDM systems improves return on investment (ROI) by increasing the overall capacity per fiber pair without affecting the unregenerated transmission distance supported by the system. Scaling from 10 to 40 Gbps and now 100 Gbps increases by a factor of 10 the bandwidth that can be transported over existing fiber networks. The 100 Gigabit Ethernet CP-DQPSK modulation supports 9.6-Tbps capacity transmission over ultra-long-haul (ULH) networks of up to 4500 km of unregenerated optical spans. The Cisco NCS 2000 100-Gbps Coherent DWDM Trunk Card with CPAK client interface provides the following features:

● Transport of 100-Gbps wavelengths over fully uncompensated networks, up to 4500 km of unregenerated optical spans

● Transport at 100 Gbps over very-low-quality fiber with very high Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)

● Support for up to ninety-six 100-Gbps wavelengths (50-GHz channel spacing) with very high tolerance to filtering penalties

● Improved system density of 100-Gbps transponders with a 100GBASE-LR4 client interface

● Support for different configurations (transponder, muxponder, or regenerator) through software provisioning only

The Cisco NCS 2000 100-Gbps Coherent DWDM Trunk Card with CPAK client interface is a plug-in module for the NCS 2000 Series, providing a cost-effective architecture for delivering 100-Gbps services. The card also features a pluggable client interface that can provide transponder capabilities, mapping the client signal to a single DWDM line interface. The client port supports the Cisco CPAK pluggable transceiver. The Cisco CPAK pluggable is available in two variants providing IEEE-compliant 100GBASE-SR10 and 100GBASE-LR4 optical interfaces. Interworking with CXP and CFP 100 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers is supported. Please refer to the Cisco CPAK 100GBASE Modules Data Sheet for additional information.

The card features a software-configurable baud rate between 27.952 and 31.241 Gbaud depending on Forward Error Correction (FEC) selection, as well as a G.709v3 OTU-4 wrapped, ITU-compliant, 50-GHz spaced optical interface using LC connectors. The DWDM output line interface is tunable to 96 wavelengths across the full optical C-band. When operated within the outlined specifications, the trunk card can operate with a post-FEC bit error rate (BER) of better than 10E-15.
