Splitter/coupler module with six ports used as
colorless or gridless add/drop units in NCS2K
ROADM configurations.
NCS2K-MF-6AD-CFS=
MPO to LC fan-out module used as client
interconnection for the NCS2K and NCS4K line cards
using QSFP+ ports.

• All modules can be used to accommodate the ROADM nodes built with the SMR-FS and AD-FS cards.
• A set of photodiodes are included on selected ports of each module for optical power monitoring.
• USB communication channel can be used to retrieve the optical power levels monitored by the photodiodes
and the inventory and insertion loss (IL) data of the optical paths stored in the modules. The USB channel
can also be used to activate electrical actuators or LEDs present on the front panel of the module.
• The xx SMR9 FS, SMR20 FS, or SMR20 FS CV and the 12-AD-FS or 16-AD-FS cards can be
interconnected by the NCS2K-MF-UPG-4=, NCS2K-MF-UPG-4-CV=, NCS2K-MF-DEG-5=,
NCS2K-MF-DEG-5-CV=, NCS2K-MF-MPO-16LC=, NCS2K-MF-M16LC-CV=,
NCS2K-MF-2MPO-ADP=, or the NCS2K-PPMESH8-5AD= module.
• The NCS2K-MF-16AE-CFS= and the NCS2K-MF-10AD-CFS= modules are only used as a passive
add/drop modules in the Not-DWDM networks.
The following table lists the MPO cables that can be used with the passive modules from Release 10.6.1:
DescriptionMPO Cables
Fan-out cable with one MPO-24 connector on one
side and 16 LC connectors on the other side.
The cable is two meters long and can be used in
ROADM configurations with the
NCS2K-MF-6AD-CFS module. This cable can also
be used as a fan-out cable to connect the LC interface
directly to the SMR20 FS MPO ports.
ONS-MPO-16LC-2
Multi-fiber patch cord with MPO-12 connectors. The
12 fibers have straight connections. There are four
variants: two, four, six, and eight meters.

The cables can interconnect the QSFP+ client ports
of NCS2K-400G-2C2 and NCS4K-4H-OPW-QC2
with the NCS2K-MF-8X10G-FO passive module.
