Description:

The Cisco® CPT 50 is a compact and operationally simple, yet highly scalable and flexible platform optimized for delivering TDM like Ethernet Private lines as well as multipoint capabilities for Business, Residential, Mobile Backhaul, Data Center, and Video Services. Its unique satellite architecture is designed to scale, simplify and enhance the operational and deployment aspects of service-delivery networks. The Cisco CPT 50 Series behave as remote line cards for CPT 600 and/or CPT 200, together forming a distributed modular system. This architecture enables physical topologies with the flexibility and benefits of collocated and remote deployments.

Some highlights of this next-generation platform are:

• The Cisco CPT 50 Series acts as a satellite in a distributed modular architecture and terminates various services. The satellites are purpose built to achieve multiple goals to basically reduce both CapEx and OpEx costs:
• Do more with the same by increasing density of service interfaces per chassis by a factor of 3x to 10x
• Deployment flexibility as satellites can be collocated with the main chassis or located in a remote location up to 80km away
• Simplified operations: One single point of management and policy enforcement using upstream CPT 600 and CPT 200
• Significantly reduced space and power needs with industry leading port density
• The Cisco CPT 50 supports unprecedented port density in 1 RU space with 44 SFP based ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) and 4 SFP+ based 10GE ports.  CPT 50 introduces a license based pay as you grow model for Ethernet ports allowing customers to optimize current CapEx, while having capacity to grow in the future without a fork lift upgrade. Added with ITEMP temperature rating, the platform can be not only deployed in temperature controlled central offices but also in harsher locations like outside plants.
• In a metro area, service providers fan out many Ethernet ports for service delivery but the management of such a distributed solution is complex. The Cisco CPT50 Series solves this problem by centralizing the management of a distributed system. The Cisco CPT 50 is managed as a virtual line card of CPT 200 or CPT 600. The management operations for CPT 50 such as provisioning, software download, platform discovery and database backup are performed at CPT200 or CPT 600. The virtual CPT50 can be collocated with UST200 or CPT600 using cheap 10G copper SFP+ pluggables or can be remotely located using long reach 10G SFP+ pluggables. The satellite architecture can be extended to solve many kinds of access needs like Ethernet, TDM or others with a common backhaul architecture in effect saving need for different architectures for each kind of access.
