The Cisco NC55-5508-FC2 is a second-generation fabric card for the Cisco NCS 5500 Series 8-slot chassis (NCS-5508). Fabric cards provide the switching fabric that interconnects line cards within a modular chassis, carrying traffic between slots in the system.
The card is identified by product ID NC55-5508-FC2, with spare PID NC55-5508-FC2=. It requires Cisco IOS XR Software Release 6.6.25 or later, and its companion fan tray is the NC55-5508-FAN2 (NCS 5508 2nd generation Fan Tray).
As a component of the NCS 5508 modular chassis, this fabric card suits deployments built on that platform, such as service provider and large-scale routing environments. It can be used for new chassis builds, for upgrading an existing NCS-5508 to second-generation fabric, or as a spare part for maintaining installed systems.
