Description
The Cisco NCS2K-200G-CK-C is a high-capacity optical transport network module designed for the Cisco NCS 2000 Series platform. Engineered for scalability and performance, this 200G muxponder card supports two 100G client interfaces and aggregates them into a single 200G line signal, optimizing bandwidth utilization across DWDM networks. It supports coherent detection and advanced modulation formats such as QPSK and 16-QAM, enabling long-haul and metro network deployments with high spectral efficiency. The compact form factor and integration into the NCS 2000 chassis make it a space- and power-efficient solution for expanding optical transport infrastructure.
This unit includes dual QSFP28 ports for 100G client connectivity and a CFP2-ACO interface for the line-side coherent optics, offering flexibility in transceiver options. Built-in support for Cisco’s optical control plane and software-defined networking features allows for dynamic provisioning and simplified management. The module is compatible with CDC-F ROADM architectures and supports colorless, directionless, and contentionless operations for agile wavelength routing. Ideal for service providers and enterprises upgrading to 200G transport, this used Cisco NCS2K-200G-CK-C offers reliable performance with reduced capital investment.
