Installing the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Passive Optical Modules
Introduction
This document explains how to install and operate the Cisco NCS 2000 Series passive optical modules, the
fiber shuffle, and the MPO fan-out unit. The Cisco NCS 2000 Series encompasses platforms from Cisco NCS
2002 onwards.
The passive optical modules are used to build the optical network system. The fiber shuffle and MPO fan-out
unit mechanically holds 14 and 10 passive optical modules respectively, thus enabling interconnection of flex
spectrum ROADM nodes that contain 16-WXC or SMR-FS cards.
The passive optical modules, fiber shuffle, and MPO fan-out unit can be installed on:
• 19-inch (482.6 mm) or 23-inch (584.2 mm) EIA standard racks
• 19-inch (482.6 mm) IEC rack
• 600 mm x 600 mm or 600 mm x 300 mm ETSI rack
The following table lists the PIDs of the fiber shuffle and MPO fan-out unit:
