The Cisco NCS 2000 100-Gbps DWDM Line Card with Soft Decision FEC is a module for the Cisco Network Convergence System 2000 Series (NCS 2000 Series) which transports 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and services across metro, regional, and long haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical networks.
The card features a pluggable client interface, allowing it to map the client or a signal from a tributary line card to a single DWDM line interface, providing transponder or muxponder capabilities. The client port supports the Cisco CPAK pluggable transceiver.
