Description:
The Nortel NT0H01NC is an optical channel transceiver module used in Nortel optical transport equipment (such as Optical Metro / Optera 5200 series and similar optical shelves). It is part of the NT0H01xx series of single-channel optical cards that support OC-3 (~155 Mb/s) / STM-1 (~155 Mb/s) optical signal interfaces. The suffix “NC” identifies this specific wavelength or slot assignment within the series.
This module performs the physical receive/transmit function for one OC-3/STM-1 optical link. It is installed in a dedicated slot on the optical transport chassis, where it connects to the fiber network and interfaces the optical signal into the system’s backplane for further processing or cross-connect.
