About the Cisco NC57-C3-FAN1-FW Cisco NCS 5500 / 5000 line card / module
Accessories in production networks require fast replacement paths, and the Cisco NC57-C3-FAN1-FW fan module delivers exactly that capability. This hot-swap cooling FRU is engineered for the Cisco NCS 5700 NC57-C3 Fixed Chassis and the broader Cisco NCS 5500 / NCS 5700 platform series, enabling field technicians and network engineers to replace failed cooling units without powering down the chassis. As a genuine Cisco component, the NC57-C3-FAN1-FW is required for Cisco TAC support validation and qualifies hardware cases for manufacturer support, ensuring your production infrastructure maintains full contractual coverage during maintenance events.
The module operates with forward airflow (front-to-rear / port-side-to-non-port-side) and integrates seamlessly with Cisco IOS XR environmental management, supporting both SNMP and model-driven telemetry for real-time thermal visibility. Fan redundancy is built into the design—remaining fan modules automatically increase speed when a single module is removed, maintaining thermal stability across the chassis. Environmental monitoring is handled natively by the IOS XR chassis environmental manager, eliminating the need for external thermal instrumentation. The NC57-C3-FAN1-FW meets all Cisco NCS 5700 platform thermal and safety design specifications and is in stock at Omnixon Global, ready for immediate deployment.
Deployment Scenarios
- High-availability service provider networks requiring zero-downtime cooling component replacement
- Data center backbone architectures where chassis uptime directly impacts SLA compliance
- Carrier-grade deployments needing integrated environmental telemetry and automated fan redundancy
- Multi-chassis deployments leveraging model-driven telemetry for centralized thermal monitoring across distributed NCS 5700 installations
- Enterprise networks transitioning to Cisco IOS XR platforms with full TAC support eligibility
