The Nortel NT8E01NF is a plug-in transmitter card belonging to the NT8E01xx series, part of Nortel's STM-16 (2.488 Gbps) ring transmission product family used within Nortel's OPTera optical transport platforms. Confirmed sibling part numbers in the same series (e.g., NT8E01QW) are documented as "STM-16 RING TX" cards operating at a specific DWDM wavelength (e.g., 1557nm) — the suffix code differentiates the specific wavelength/channel assigned to each card within the series. The exact wavelength and hardware revision associated with the "NF" suffix specifically were not confirmed in publicly available sources.
Key Features:
- Plug-in STM-16 ring transmitter card for Nortel OPTera optical transport platforms
- Part of the NT8E01xx STM-16 Ring TX card family
- Each suffix in the series corresponds to a specific DWDM wavelength/channel
- Sourced through the secondary/refurbished telecom market to support legacy Nortel optical network maintenance
Technical Specifications:
- Manufacturer Part Number: NT8E01NF
- Manufacturer: Nortel Networks
- Transmission Standard: STM-16 (SDH) / OC-48 (SONET), approx. 2,488 Mbps line rate
- Product Family: NT8E01xx STM-16 Ring Transmitter series
- Function: Ring transmitter (TX) card, DWDM channel-specific
- Form Factor: Plug-in printed board assembly for Nortel OPTera optical transport shelf
- Note: Exact DWDM wavelength/channel and hardware revision for the "NF" suffix were not confirmed in a standalone public datasheet — recommend verifying against the physical card label or Nortel/Ciena legacy documentation before publishing precise specs.
