Description
The Cisco NCS2K-EDRA2-35C is a high-performance optical network component designed for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) applications within the Cisco NCS 2000 Series platform. Engineered for scalability and efficiency, this Enhanced Demarcation and ROADM Amplifier (EDRA2) module supports up to 35 dB of gain, making it ideal for long-haul and metro optical networks. Its compact, single-slot form factor allows seamless integration into existing infrastructure, minimizing space requirements while maximizing optical reach. The unit is built to deliver reliable signal amplification and demarcation, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of network conditions.
This module features integrated optical supervisory channel (OSC) support, automatic power control, and embedded optical performance monitoring, providing real-time diagnostics and simplified management. It includes dual-stage amplification with gain flattening filters to maintain signal integrity across all channels. The NCS2K-EDRA2-35C is compatible with Cisco’s ONS 15454 MSTP systems and can be managed via the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software. Ideal for used hardware buyers, this module offers robust functionality and proven reliability in a cost-effective package for expanding or upgrading optical networks.
