The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS Cisco 16 Ports Expansion Module is designed to work with the Cisco Network Convergence System 2000 (NCS2K) series of optical transport platforms. The expansion module provides 16 additional ports for network connectivity, allowing for the expansion of the NCS2K platform to support additional network traffic.
The design architecture of the NCS2K-16-WXC-FS includes several key components, including:
- Wavelength Cross-Connect (WXC) module: The WXC module is the main component of the expansion module, providing the ability to cross-connect multiple wavelengths of light. The WXC module allows for the routing of optical signals between different ports on the module, providing a flexible and scalable way to manage network traffic.
- Optical multiplexing and demultiplexing: The expansion module supports dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, which allows for multiple signals to be carried over a single optical fiber. The module includes both multiplexing and demultiplexing capabilities, allowing for the efficient use of network resources and maximizing the available bandwidth.
- Integrated amplification: The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS includes built-in optical amplification capabilities, which boost the strength of optical signals to ensure reliable transmission over long distances. The amplification helps to maintain signal integrity and reduce the need for additional network equipment.
- Management and control: The expansion module can be managed and controlled through the Cisco Network Convergence System Controller, which provides a centralized interface for configuring and monitoring network traffic. The controller allows for real-time visibility into network performance, as well as the ability to configure network policies and troubleshoot issues as they arise.
The performance evaluation of the NCS2K-16-WXC-FS Cisco 16 Ports Expansion Module involves analyzing the module's capabilities and performance metrics in various network scenarios. Here are some key performance metrics that can be evaluated:
- Capacity: The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS expansion module provides 16 additional ports for network connectivity, which can be used to support various network topologies and traffic types. The module supports dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, allowing for the efficient use of network resources and maximizing the available bandwidth.
- Throughput: The module's throughput is an important performance metric that measures the amount of data that can be transmitted over the network in a given time period. The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS has a maximum throughput of 400 Gbps, which is ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and data center interconnectivity.
- Latency: Latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from its source to its destination. The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS has a low latency of less than 20 microseconds, making it ideal for real-time applications that require low latency, such as voice and video communication.
- Reliability: The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS is designed to provide high reliability, with built-in optical amplification capabilities and the ability to detect and correct errors in the network. The expansion module also supports redundancy features, such as automatic protection switching (APS), which ensures that network traffic is automatically re-routed in the event of a network failure.
- Management and control: The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS can be managed and controlled through the Cisco Network Convergence System Controller, which provides a centralized interface for configuring and monitoring network traffic. The controller allows for real-time visibility into network performance, as well as the ability to configure network policies and troubleshoot issues as they arise.
The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS Cisco 16 Ports Expansion Module provides several security features to help protect against potential network threats. Here are some key security features of the expansion module:
- Access control: The module supports various access control features to limit access to the network and its resources. This includes role-based access control (RBAC) and access control lists (ACLs), which can be used to restrict access based on user roles or specific network attributes.
- Encryption: The expansion module supports various encryption protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of network traffic. This includes Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, which encrypts data in transit to prevent unauthorized access.
- Authentication: The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS supports various authentication mechanisms to verify the identity of network users and devices. This includes Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), which can be used to authenticate users and devices before they are granted access to the network.
- Network segmentation: The expansion module supports network segmentation, which allows for the creation of isolated network segments that can be used to protect sensitive data and resources. This can be used to limit the impact of a potential network breach and prevent unauthorized access to critical resources.
- Network monitoring: The NCS2K-16-WXC-FS supports network monitoring features, which can be used to detect and respond to potential security threats. This includes real-time network traffic monitoring and anomaly detection, which can be used to identify potential security breaches and respond quickly to mitigate the impact.

About Refurbished Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
