The Nortel NT8E01QC 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, documented as "STM-16 RING 1557nm AR TX") are DWDM ring transmitter cards, with the suffix code differentiating the specific wavelength/channel assigned to each card within the series. The exact wavelength and hardware revision associated with the "QC" suffix specifically were not confirmed in publicly available sources, though the part is listed under revision REV 23 in distributor inventories.
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:
