Cisco N520-X-4G4Z-D Carrier Ethernet Access Device
Cisco NCS 520 Series – Product Overview
The Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 520 is a next-generation Layer 2 and Layer 3 network demarcation device, certified under MEF 3.0 standards. It serves as a 10-Gigabit Ethernet demarcation point, bridging customer LAN networks with service providers' mobile and cloud applications. These devices enable Carrier Ethernet services, including E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, Access E-Line, and Transit E-Line, while ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) and Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for seamless deployment.
