The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco® NCS 1000 Mux/Demux 64-Channel Patch Panel is a standalone passive unit that contains both a 64-channel optical multiplexer and a 64-channel optical demultiplexer, precabled within the unit’s housing.
This unit provides support for 400ZR and NCS1004 multihaul coherent channels up to 63 Gbaud at 75-GHz spacing. This filter is designed with optimum tradeoff between bandwidth and isolation for a network designed with 64 channels of 400ZR.
Cisco NCS 1000 Mux/Demux 64-Channel Patch Panel
The panel’s ports are arranged in 18 columns and 5 rows. The placement of the clips provides optimal fiber routing, facilitating the addition of fibers in an incremental manner and resulting in a simple design that is easy to maintain and troubleshoot. A separate tie wrap is provided for fastening the USB cable used for passive inventory management and storage of insertion loss values. The panel shall fit into ETSI 300-mm and ANSI 450-mm racks.
Cisco NCS 1000 Mux/Demux 64-Channel Patch Panel standalone configuration
