Ribbon: NPT 2714 Fully Redundant Aggregation Router

Feb. 26, 2025

As the latest router in Ribbon’s NPT XDR2000 series of aggregation routers, the NPT 2714 combines orthogonal hardware design, advanced cooling techniques, and cost-efficient merchant silicon to deliver a fully redundant, high-capacity aggregation router. The hardware design of the NPT 2714 not only ensures full hardware redundancy and offers true in-service pay-as-you-grow capabilities. Ribbon has designed the NPT 2714 with investment protection in mind. The nine vertically oriented card slots allow the I/O cards to connect directly to the four horizontally oriented switch cards, eliminating the need for a backplane or midplane. This design ensures that as new technologies, such as 800G coherent interfaces, are introduced, new cards can be seamlessly integrated into the existing NPT 2714 chassis. In addition, the NPT 2714 supports coherent routing with support for OpenZR+ and endorses built-in SFP+ pluggable amplifiers to extend coherent routing reach.
