The Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS) 2000 400 Gbps XPonder line card dramatically enhance Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transmission. The XPonder provides 400 Gbps of Client, and 400 Gbps of Trunk capacity on a single, two-slot wide line card capable of mapping Client traffic to either of two 200 Gbps Trunk ports, or into a 400G dual-wavelength super-channel, all while leveraging software configurable Coherent modulation schemes.
Three Coherent modulation formats are supported to best suit network requirement:
● 100 Gbps Coherent polarization-multiplexed Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)
● 150 Gbps Coherent polarization 8-state quadrature amplitude modulation (8-QAM)
● 200 Gbps Coherent polarization 16-state quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM)
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder Card (Figure 1) simplifies the integration and transport of 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet and Optical Transport Unit Level 4 (OTU-4) interfaces and services into enterprises and service provider optical networks.
Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder
The bandwidth carried on core and metropolitan DWDM networks is growing exponentially, while operators’ revenues struggle to keep pace. Internet traffic continues to grow at exponential rates, mainly due to demand for next-generation services such as quadruple play (data, voice, video, and mobility), video distribution, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and other high-bandwidth services. Complicating the issue is the varying state of migration between legacy and Packet services that operators find themselves within, causing them to find creative ways to support a variety of service types.
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder solution can dramatically lower the cost to carry bandwidth, helping to maintain and improve customers’ profitability with advanced modulation schemes, the ability to transmit 200 Gbps wavelengths on existing or new DWDM systems for both metro and Long Haul distances, improves return on investment by increasing the overall capacity per fiber pair without impacting the unregenerated transmission distance supported by the system.
The 200 Gbps 16QAM solution enables 25.4 Tbps capacity transmission over a single Fiber Pair.
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder Card also supports an embedded OTN switching functionality capable of supporting ODU-2/4 switching between Clients and Trunk Ports.
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder Card provides compelling benefits in the areas of Efficiency, Performance, Flexibility and Density improvements.
Efficiency
In a single, 2-slot wide line card, the 400 Gbps XPonder supports any mix of 40x 10G, 8x 40GE+8x10GE and 4x 100G signals up to a maximum bandwidth of 400 Gbps, while providing the ability to selectively groom these services into 2 wavelengths capable of 200 Gbps each.
Performance improvement
The latest generation of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) provide a dramatic boost to the optical performance of 100 Gbps QPSK and 200 Gbps 16-QAM. Availability of 8-QAM Modulation format further enhance the Long Haul capability of the system, allowing to take advantage of additional transport capacity for all cases where 100 Gbps reach is not needed.
Flexibility
The service type of both Client and Trunk optics are based on pluggable modules, allowing a true pay-as-you-grow investment profile where card personality is defined and redefined at the pluggable level. Due to the port-by-port service type flexibility, this also radically reduces the variety of line cards an operator is required to inventory.
Density
Thanks to the adoption of the QSFP+ and QSFP28 form factors for the client interfaces, the Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder is able to double the slot density compared with previous generation of Transponder card.
The NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder (Figure 2) is a 2-slots wide line card that provides two high speed CFP2-based DWDM ports capable of transmitting 100 Gbps, 150 Gbps and 200 Gbps over a single carrier.
The high speed Trunk ports provides:
● 100 Gbps coherent DWDM transmission with QPSK modulation
● 150 Gbps coherent DWDM transmission with 8-QAM modulation
● 200 Gbps coherent DWDM transmission with 16-QAM modulation
The transmission rate is software configurable and the line card provides high gain SD-FEC with 15% and 25% overhead.
The NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder supports six QSFP+ based client ports that can be equipped with 40 Gbps or 4x 10 Gbps optics and four QSFP28/QSFP+ based client ports that can be equipped with 100 Gbps QSFP28, 40 Gbps QSFP+ and 4x 10 Gbps QSFP+.
Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder
Advanced modulation scheme
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder line card features multiple software configurable modulation schemes to cope with tradeoffs between reach and transport capacity per wavelength. The primary modulation schemes leveraged today for DWDM transmission are QPSK, 8-QAM and 16-QAM. The constellation diagrams for these modulation types are illustrated in Figure 3.
Constellation diagrams for QPSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QAM
While higher order modulation formats provide higher spectral efficiency, they are limited by reach.
Figure 4 shows variation of reach vs. spectral efficiency for QPSK, 8-QAM and 16-QAM using SMF and LEAF fiber for various channel spacing.
The chart provides capacity (Tbps) and spectral efficiency (bit/s/Hz) VS maximum reach (Lmax) for different modulation schemes. SMF Is represented in solid lines and LEAF Is represented in dashed lines.
Cisco Coherent Transmission technology greatly enhances the reach and reliability of transport performance while providing the flexibility to select the optimal modulation scheme for a specific application. The primary benefits of Cisco Coherent technology are:
● Strong optical signal-to-noise ratio performance
● Outstanding chromatic dispersion robustness, avoiding any additional cost related to optical chromatic dispersion compensation equipment
● Extended polarization mode dispersion robustness
● Very high spectral efficiency, allowing wavelengths to be transmitted across a large number of ROADMs with negligible penalty
Trunk CFP2 WDM pluggables
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder Trunk ports supports Analog Coherent Optical (ACO) CFP2 WDM with software-provisionable tuneability across the full C-Band, covering 96 Nyquist shaped channels on the 50GHz grid or gridless with 100MHz tuning granularity per channel. Different modulation schemes are also software configurable as described earlier.
Client ports
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder provides the following client services:
● 10 Gbps through 4x 10 Gbps QSFP+, the following client protocols are available: 10GE LAN-PHY, OC-192, STM-64, OTU2/2e, 8/10/16G FC.
● 40GE through QSFP+ supported and hardware readiness for OTU-3 service with software upgrade in future
● 100 Gbps through 100 Gbps QSFP28, the following client protocols are available: 100GE and OTU4
Software configurable FEC option
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder features the ability to select between two overhead configurations from the management interface for Software Defined Forward Error Correction (SD FEC): 25% overhead for maximum performances, 15% overhead to minimize filtering impairment.
10 Port 10 Gbps line card pairing configuration
The Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder can be coupled with the 10-Port 10 Gbps line card to support 10-port 10 Gbps Muxponder capabilities. The XPonder can be connected through the Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 2006 or NCS 2015 backplane (no client required) with the 10-Port 10 Gbps line card to provide OTN multiplexing of 10 ports of 10GE LAN-PHY data streams into a single 100 Gbps or 200 Gbps DWDM wavelength generated from the NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder. The configuration is supported with the Line module configured in Muxponder mode. A common application is to leverage the ability of the 10-Port 10 Gbps line card to support optics with over 10km of reach using SFP+ pluggables.
Management
The Cisco NCS 2000 system provides comprehensive management capabilities to support Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P) capabilities through the integrated Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) craft interface with support from the Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPN-M) network management system. The 400 Gbps XPonder line card features digital wrapper (G.709) functionality, providing per-wavelength performance management capabilities, especially for services transported transparently across networks. Without the digital wrapper functions, a carrier transporting a service transparently would be unable to identify network impairments that may degrade the transported signal and violate the SLA agreements. The digital wrapper’s Generic Communication Channel (GCC) provides a separate communications channel on a per-wavelength basis to be used when transparent signals are transported. GCC allows the Cisco NCS 2000 system to extend its advanced network auto discovery capabilities to DWDM-based services.
Licensing
The Cisco NCS 4000 400-Gbps XPonder features a licensing scheme allowing users to purchase only the functions they require.
The line card is available in two versions: an unlicensed version that includes all functions, and a licensed version that includes a subset of functions and bandwidth and is upgradable with feature-specific licenses.
The licensed version of the card supports the following functions:
● 100Gbps of client bandwidth (can be 100G or 10x10G or 2x40GE + 2 x 10GE or 6x16GFC)
● Capability to use one trunk CFP2 WDM with 100G QPSK modulation scheme (no limitation of FEC usage or CD or any optical performance)
Additional functions are offered through feature licenses; for example:
● Additional 100G client bandwidth (up to reach total of 400G maximum available client bandwidth)
● Capability to have the wavelength at 200G 16-QAM
● Capability to turn on second WDM port
Performance monitoring
The Trunk ports on the Cisco NCS 2000 400 Gbps XPonder line card provides support for transparent signal performance monitoring. The digital wrapper channel is monitored according to G.709 Optical Transport Network (OTN) and G.8021 standards. Performance monitoring of optical parameters on the client and DWDM interfaces include Loss Of Signal (LOS), laser bias current, transmit optical power, and receive optical power. Calculation and accumulation of the performance monitoring data are supported in 15-minute and 24-hour intervals as per G.7710.
Physical system parameters measured at the wavelength level, such as mean polarization mode dispersion, accumulated chromatic dispersion, or received optical signal to noise ratio, are also included in the set of performance monitoring parameters. These can greatly simplify troubleshooting operations and enhance the set of data that can be collected directly from the equipment. A detailed list of performance monitors is given in Table 8.
The XPonder card incorporates faceplate-mounted LEDs to provide a quick visual check of the operational status of the card. An orange circle is printed on the faceplate, indicating the shelf slot in which you can install the card.
