Overview
The ONS-CCC-100G-5 is a 5-meter (roughly 16.4-foot) long MPO (multi-lane push-on) patch cable designed for use within Cisco's Network Convergence System (NCS) platform. It acts as a bridge between devices with CXP ports and devices with CFP ports, both being high-speed interfaces used for data center networking within NCS. This cable facilitates 100 Gigabit per second (Gbps) data transmission. While the exact fiber type isn't explicitly stated, the short length suggests it likely uses multi-mode fiber for its easy installation and lower cost compared to single-mode fiber. However, multi-mode fiber has limitations on how far it can effectively transmit signals. The ONS-CCC-100G-5 is ideal for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections within Cisco's NCS where you need to connect devices with CXP and CFP ports. Cisco offers various lengths of ONS-CCC-100G cables to suit your specific needs. For detailed compatibility information and recommended uses within the NCS system, refer to the official Cisco documentation.
