Cisco NCS560 N560-IMA-2C-DD 2 x 100GE Module | QSFPDD/QSFP28 — N560-IMA-2C-DD

Move 100-gigabit traffic into a smaller footprint with the Cisco NCS560 2 x 100GE Interface Module. Designed for the NCS560 platform, this module provides two high-speed 100GE interfaces and supports both QSFPDD and QSFP28 optics, giving architects flexibility in how they build uplinks, aggregation paths, and backbone connections. That flexibility matters when port planning has to balance speed, optics strategy, and chassis density. Instead of overprovisioning with larger line cards or filling the system with lower-speed interfaces, this module gives you a focused way to add high-bandwidth connectivity where it counts. It is a strong fit for service-provider edge, metro aggregation, and high-throughput enterprise routing environments that need compact 100G expansion. For teams standardizing on faster transport, the value is in the combination of speed, density, and platform alignment. This module helps keep the routing layer clean while supporting the bandwidth demands of modern aggregation and handoff designs. Ideal For Add 100G uplinks to a service-provider edge router Build high-capacity aggregation paths in a metro network Connect backbone handoffs with QSFPDD or QSFP28 optics Expand routing bandwidth in a compact chassis deployment Why This Product 1 2 x 100GE ports deliver focused high-speed expansion 2 QSFPDD/QSFP28 support offers optics flexibility 3 Compact module design preserves chassis capacity 4 Better suited for 100G aggregation than lower-speed interface options
