It's a 5G and web-scale era, and every second, a million minutes of video content crosses the network.

To keep up with demand, hyperscalers, communication service providers, and enterprises need to rapidly scale their networks. Designing networks with scalability, operational efficiency, security and reliability in mind is essential. Cisco's 2.4Tbps multi-haul transponder along with CIM 8 (Coherent Interface Module 8) uses state-of-the-art silicon, silicon photonics and Opto-Electronic Multi-Chip Module (OE-MCM) package along with complete automation and real-time visibility to deliver best-in-class power and performance for metro, long-haul, and submarine applications while being simple to deploy and manage.
Product features and benefits
The all new NCS 2.4T transponder is supported in the NCS 1014 chassis, providing six QSFP-DD client ports for 100/400 and 800G protocols. The client ports map to two trunk ports operating any rate between 400G and 1.2T in 100G increments.
The trunk ports are CIM 8 (Coherent Interconnect Module 8) pluggables and are field replaceable without removing the line card. The CIM 8 is a next generation multi-haul optical transport product allowing the solution to be used for metro, terrestrial long-haul, or submarine applications:
