Cisco Network Convergence System 1001 - Network management device - 1U - rack-mountable - for P/N: NCS1K1-SYS-AC, NCS1K1-SYS-DC
- Up to 23 dBm output power to allow for +3 dBm per channel fiber launch power and maximum optical performance for high - baud rate and higher order modulation format transponders
- Switchable gain preamplifier up to 34 db
- Embedded optical channel monitoring (OCM) module to monitor per channel power at all the input and output ports
- Integrated pluggable optics - based OSC and OTDR support
- OSC support for user data channel transport as well as remote node management
- Unmatched scale and density: line system for 96 channels of C-band in 1RU
- Flex-grid support on OCM module
The Cisco NCS 1001 (Figure 1) is a 1RU system that is capable of supporting up to three pluggable modules. The modules can be amplifiers or protection switch modules. The system reuses controller cards and power supplied from the NCS 1002. A 96-channel unprotected point-to-point or a protected point-to-DWDM line system can be implemented with one NCS 1001.
The system operates on a Linux kernel with the carrier-class 64-bit Cisco IOS XR Software in a Linux container (LxC) and XR system admin plane in a separate LxC. It encompasses a wide variety of features as well as a range of machine-to-machine APIs based on YANG models for ease of configuration and a telemetry agent for a pub-sub model of device monitoring and also provides an infrastructure for third-party applications.
