Cabling a Multi-Chassis Configuration
This appendix provides an overview of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system and describes how to
physically cable the fabric planes between each LCC and FCC in the system.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system currently supports these multi-chassis configurations:
• 2+1-Two LCCs + one FCC (with six or twelve FCs)
• 2+2-Two LCCs + two FCC (with six or twelve FCs in each FCC)
• 4+2-Four LCCs + two FCCs (with six or twelve FCs in each FCC)

About the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis System
This section provides an overview of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system and describes what is required
to interconnect the system components. The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system is also referred to as the
"multi-chassis system" throughout this chapter.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system is a highly scalable routing platform designed for service providers
to build next generation multi-service networks that provide video, data and voice services. The multi-chassis
system consists of two major components: The line card chassis (LCC) and fabric card chassis (FCC). The
LCC has 16 slots: eight line card (LC) slots, six fabric card slots, and two RP slots. The FCC has 14 slots: 12
fabric card slots and two slots for the SC or SC-SW shelf controller cards.
The interconnectivity of FCCs and the LCCs allows the system capacity of the NCS 6000 to scale from 8
Tbps to 128 Tbps of data. The multi-chassis system can support up to 16 LCCs interconnected to 4 FCCs.
