NTUC41MA01 Optical Transport Interface Card

NTUC41MA01 Optical Transport Interface Card

The NTUC41MA01 is an optical transport interface card developed for carrier-grade DWDM and optical metro networks by Nortel Networks. This module is designed for deployment in Optical Metro transport systems where high reliability, scalability, and efficient wavelength management are essential.

Product Description

The NTUC41MA01 plays a key role in optical transport shelves by providing optical signal interfacing between fiber links and the system backplane. It supports transparent wavelength transport and enables service providers to build flexible, high-capacity metro and regional fiber networks without the need for electrical regeneration.

Its modular design allows operators to scale network capacity efficiently while maintaining consistent optical performance across the transport layer.

Key Features and Benefits

• Designed for DWDM and optical metro transport applications

• Supports transparent, protocol-independent wavelength transport

• Enables scalable network expansion through modular card deployment

• Fully managed and monitored through the host optical platform

• Built to meet carrier-grade reliability and availability requirements

Typical Applications

The NTUC41MA01 is commonly used in:

• Metropolitan fiber networks

• Regional and inter-office optical links

• High-capacity backbone extensions

• DWDM transport environments requiring flexible wavelength management

By integrating seamlessly into the optical transport system, the card helps maintain signal integrity and operational stability across long fiber spans.

Technical Overview

• Module type: Optical transport / interface circuit pack

• System role: Optical channel interfacing and adaptation

• Network layer: Optical (DWDM transport)

• Management: Controlled via system software and network management tools
