TransceiversPorts/AdaptersLine Card
Second-generation
Coherent Transceiver
Pluggable (CTP2) optics
modules (in CFP2
form-factor).
6 x 100GE–Supports 100 Gbps (DWDM QPSK),
150 Gbps (DWDM 8 QAM), or 200 Gbps (DWDM
16 QAM) WDM signals with full line-rate MACsec
capability.
NC55-6X200-DWDM-S
Adds DWDM capabilities to the NCS 5500 series
modular chassis.
Along with the ONS-CFP2-WDM long-haul optics,
this line card eliminates the need to connect
short-range grey optics to a dedicated optical
platform between NCS 5500 series modular chassis,
reducing operating expenses and capital costs.

Requires Cisco IOS XR 7.0.2 or later.
For NC57-18DD-SE line card, there are eighteen 400GE ports which are the even numbered ports between
Port 0 and Port 29, Port 19, Port 21 and Port 23. The 400GE ports are marked on the front panel with blue
indicator (see Figure 1: NC57-18DD-SE Line Card, on page 6).
In 400GE configuration, the odd numbered ports (except Port 19, Port 21, and Port 23) marked in orange at
the bottom row (see Figure 1: NC57-18DD-SE Line Card, on page 6) are not used.
The NC57-18DD-SE supports 200GE optics or 100GE optics in all 30 ports.
