Description:
The NT0H16LCE5 is a 2.5 Gbps flexible optical transponder (OTR) module designed for use in the Nortel Optical Metro 5000 / OM5200 modular optical transport platform — a carrier‑grade CWDM/DWDM system deployed by telecommunications carriers and service providers for metro fiber aggregation and optical transport. This part is one of the Series 16 transponder cards providing 2.5 Gbps optical transport with flexible wavelength/channel assignment, allowing network engineers to configure optical paths for service, protection, or expansion within a multi‑channel WDM fiber network.
