Description

The NCS 540 is a 1RU temperature-hardened, low-power aggregation and access router built for service-provider networks. It runs carrier-class Cisco IOS XR and suits mobile backhaul, access and aggregation, and indoor or outdoor cabinet deployments where space and power are limited. This is the DC-powered variant.

Port density is 12x 1G SFP, 4x 1G RJ45 copper and 12x 1G/10G SFP+, with up to 160 Mpps of forwarding performance and typical forwarding latency under 10 us. A 4-core 1.6GHz x86 CPU with 8GB DRAM and 32GB storage drives the platform. Dual redundant DC power supplies accept -40V to -72V input, and the family draws under 200W typically with a 250W maximum. The industrial temperature range is -40C to +70C, with side-to-side airflow and a chassis depth of only 25 cm.

SyncE and PTP provide frequency and phase timing for mobile transport. It takes 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ optics. Software is licensed through the Cisco Flexible Consumption Model, per 10G, with Access Essentials or Access Advantage tiers ordered separately.
