Cisco NCS 5700 36x100G Base Line Card | Service-Provider — NC57-36H6D-S=

Add high-density 100G capacity where it matters most. Cisco’s NCS 5700 36x100G base line card is designed for service-provider routing environments that need to expand bandwidth without compromising slot efficiency. With 36 x 100G ports, it supports dense aggregation and high-throughput transport in platforms built for scale. This line card is a strong fit for backbone, metro, and edge deployments where port density directly affects chassis economics. It helps teams consolidate more traffic into fewer slots, simplifying platform planning while preserving room for future growth. For operators managing large-scale optical and packet transport, that density can translate into lower rack footprint per delivered gigabit and more efficient use of premium chassis resources. Choose this Cisco line card when the network design calls for serious 100G scale, not incremental expansion. It is built for infrastructure teams that need capacity, consistency, and a clear fit inside the NCS 5700 family.
