About the Cisco NCS 6000 Fabric Card Chassis
The Cisco NCS 6000 Fabric Card Chassis is a highly scalable core routing platform designed for service
providers to build next generation multi-service networks that provide video, data and voice services. The
fabric card chassis, also known as a switch fabric chassis, is referred to in this document as the Cisco NCS
6000 FCC.
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC is part of the Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system that also includes the Cisco
NCS 6008 8-slot line card chassis (LCC). The system can expand from a single chassis to various multi-chassis
configurations for increased routing capacity and is capable of supporting up to 16 LCCs interconnected to
4 FCCs.
The Cisco NCS 6000 Multi-Chassis system scales by interconnecting up to 16 LCCs through up to four FCCs.
These connections are made from the LCC switch fabric cards to the FCC fabric cards through CXP or CXP2
optical interconnects. The NCS 6000 has a 3-stage switch fabric architecture. In a multi-chassis configuration,
the first and third stages are implemented by the S13 fabric cards on the LCC, and the second stage is performed
by the S2 fabric cards on the FCC. For an overview of the fabric system and multi-chassis cabling
configurations, see
The Cisco NCS 6000 FCC has an integrated rack and is bolted to the facility floor (no external rack is required).
The FCC contains its own power and cooling systems. Power systems are available using either AC or DC
power.
This installation guide provides the installation procedures for the FCC. For installation information about
the LCC, see the
