Data Sheet
Cisco Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) 50 Series
The Cisco
®
Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) Product Family with CPT600, CPT200 and CPT50 Series sets the
industry benchmark as a compact 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.
Product Overview
The Cisco CPT 50 introduces architectural innovations to the CPT product family for building access and
aggregation Packet Transport networks and redefines the network economics and management to provide
exceptional CapEx and OpEx advantages. 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.
