The Cisco

®

 Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) 600 sets the industry benchmark as a carrier-class converged access 

and aggregation platform for Unified Packet Transport architectures. Cisco CPT product family represents an exciting 

new paradigm in the world of Packet Transport with exceptional pay as you grow scalability, carrier-class reliability, 

incredible flexibility, and TDM like ease of packet service provisioning, OAM and protection capability.

The CPT platform has great revenue potential for service providers by providing TDM like Ethernet Private lines as 

well as multipoint capabilities for Business, Residential, Mobile Backhaul, Data Center, and Video Services.  These 

next generation of services can be readily deployed at low operational costs using the Cisco Transport Controller 

(CTC) and Cisco PRIME that allow fast and simple network turn up, A to Z provisioning and OAM features. 

First to market with advanced standards based MPLS-Transport Profile (TP) management for ethernet aggregation 

and transport, MPLS-TP combines the feature richness of MPLS with the simplicity of transport operational models. 

In addition to MPLS-TP, the CPT family can support IP/MPLS and native ethernet based transport solutions, giving 

the customers data plane and control plane flexibility as the network evolves. 

Its small form, simplicity, unique set of integrated features, and low power consumption reduce capital and 

operational expenditures. The CPT family reduces total cost of ownership based on its innovative satellite 

architecture that centralizes the management and allows scalable ethernet fan-out. The Cisco CPT 50 series satellite 

panel can be an extension of the CPT 600 Packet Transport Fabric and Modules thereby extending the service 

interface up by a factor of 10. 

The Cisco CPT architecture is designed to provide a la carte options to deploy Packet Transport, MSTP or OTN 

switched networks. Allowing the customer to reduce day one costs and grow capabilities as required.
