Description:
The Nortel NT0H01ND is an optical channel transceiver card used in Nortel optical transport equipment (such as Optical Metro / Optera series transport shelves). It belongs to the NT0H01xx series of optical interface modules that provide support for OC-3 (~155 Mb/s) / STM-1 (~155 Mb/s) optical links. The suffix “ND” identifies this specific wavelength and channel assignment within that module series.
This card provides the optical receive/transmit interface for one OC-3/STM-1 channel. It is installed in a modular optical transport chassis slot and connects the external fiber to the system’s backplane for processing and cross-connect functions.
