High-Density 6.4Tbps Cisco Module Multi-Protocol & Low Latency
NCS2006-SA
The Cisco NCS2006-SA is a high-density, 6.4Tbps optical transport
module designed for next-gen networks, offering carrier-grade
reliability, multi-protocol flexibility, and ultra-low latency.
Ideal for data center interconnect (DCI), 5G transport, and core
networks, this 1RU platform maximizes bandwidth efficiency while
reducing operational costs.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ 6.4Tbps per Slot – Supports 100G/200G/400G interfaces with
CFP2-DCO/ACO pluggable optics for scalable deployments.
✅ Multi-Protocol Support – Compatible with OTN, Ethernet (IPoDWDM),
and SONET/SDH, enabling seamless integration into hybrid networks.
✅ Low Latency (<1µs) – Hardware-accelerated forwarding for
financial, AI/ML, and 5G applications.
✅ SDN & Automation – Works with Cisco Crosswork Network
Automation and Segment Routing for end-to-end traffic optimization.
✅ Carrier-Grade Reliability – Features 99.999% uptime, sub-50ms
protection switching, and MACSEC/OTN encryption.
✅ Open & Programmable – Supports OpenZR+ for vendor-neutral
optics and YANG/NETCONF for SDN integration.
