The front door of the NCS 2006 shelf allows access to the shelf, fan-tray assembly, fiber-routing area, power
connectors, external alarms and controls, timing input and output, and craft interface terminals. Two types of
front doors can be attached to the NCS 2006 shelf—the standard door and the deep-front panel. The front
door provides access to the shelf, and acts as a protective panel. The deep-front panel provides additional
space in front of the shelf to accommodate cables that do not fit inside the standard door. It also provides more
space for fiber bend radius and to manage the line card connections.The deep door does not have a hinge and
cannot be rotated like the standard door. The fiber or cable guide used in the NCS 2006 shelf provides improved
fiber management.
The NCS 2006 is mounted on a 19-inch or 23-inch ANSI rack (482.6 or 584.2 mm), or on a 600 x 600-mm
(23.6 x 23.6-inch) or 600 x 300-mm (23.6 x 11.8-inch) ETSI standard equipment rack. The rack mounting is
done using the mounting brackets or air deflectors. The air deflectors orient the air flow in a specific direction.
It is mandatory that the correct type of 19-inch ANSI rack is chosen to mount the NCS 2006 shelf. For proper
airflow and cooling of the shelf, the shape of the vertical posts of the rack should be such that the airflow
vents are not covered. There must be sufficient space between the shelf side walls, and the vertical walls of
the rack post that are parallel to the shelf side walls.
When installed in an equipment rack, the Cisco NCS 2006 shelf is typically connected to a fuse and alarm
panel to provide centralized alarm connection points and distributed power for the NCS 2006. Fuse and alarm
panels are third-party equipment and are not described in this documentation. If you are unsure about the
requirements or specifications for a fuse and alarm panel, consult the user documentation for the related
equipment.
The shelf with preinstalled air filter weighs approximately 23.55 pounds (10.680 kg) with no cards installed.
Install and operate the NCS 2006 only in environments that do not expose wiring or cabling to the outside
plant.

Specifications, on page 467.
Cisco NCS 2015 Shelf
Watch the video for a brief overview of the Cisco NCS 2015 shelf.
The NCS 2015 is designed to comply with Telcordia GR-1089-CORE and Telcordia GR-63-CORE.
The NCS 2015 provides only Type 2 interfaces. A single NCS 2015 shelf is 14 rack units (RU) and supports
both ANSI and ETSI standards.
The NCS 2015 is FIPS 140-2 and CC compliant.
The NCS 2015 shelf has 18 vertical slots numbered 1 to 18. Slot 2 to Slot 16 is for line cards that provide 10
to 100 Gbps interconnections. Slot 1 and Slot 17 is for the TNCS or TNCS-O cards (timing and control cards).
Slot 18 is for the external connection unit (ECU). The NCS 2015 system can be powered by redundant AC
or DC power modules. The maximum chassis power is 5250 W. The NCS 2015 system contains backup flash
memory that supports the database (DB) and image backup in the single mode operation. The LCD unit is
