Overview
The Cisco ONS-CXP2-MPO-100 is a 100-meter (roughly 328-foot) long fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data center connections within the Cisco Network Convergence System 4000 (NCS 4000) platform. It features MPO connectors on both ends, which bundle multiple fibers into a single unit for high-density connections between devices equipped with CXP2 ports, a type of high-bandwidth interface found on NCS 4000 switches. While the cable utilizes multi-mode fiber, which is easier to install and manage compared to single-mode fiber, it’s important to remember that this fiber type has limitations on signal quality over long distances. The 100-meter length makes it suitable for most data center applications where devices are farther apart but still within the reach of multi-mode fiber’s capabilities. Cisco offers various lengths of ONS-CXP2-MPO cables to suit your specific needs. For detailed information on compatibility and best practices within the NCS 4000 system, refer to the official Cisco documentation. Keep in mind that while the ONS-CXP2-MPO-100 offers extended reach, multi-mode fiber has signal quality limitations compared to single-mode fiber. Ensure your connection distances stay within the recommended range for optimal performance. Additionally, MPO connectors require proper cleaning and handling for reliable operation.
