Description:
The Nortel NT0H16FBE5 is a 2.5 Gbps flexible optical transponder (OTR) module designed for deployment in the Nortel Optical Metro 5000 / OM5200 optical transport platform a carrier‑grade CWDM/DWDM wavelength division multiplexing system used by service providers and network operators for metro and backbone fiber transport. Part of the Nortel NT0H16 series of flexible transponder cards, the NT0H16FBE5 provides full‑duplex 2.5 Gbps optical transmission and reception, combining wavelength‑agnostic transport with flexible channel allocation for metro fiber aggregation and optical network expansion.
