Description:
The NTCA02BC is a short‑reach optical receiver module for Nortel optical transport chassis. It receives OC‑192 (~10 Gb/s) optical signals from fiber links and converts them into electrical signals that the chassis can process and route. This card is installed in a dedicated receiver slot and directly connects to the chassis backplane. It is designed for metro or regional optical links, not long‑haul applications, and supports high-speed data termination and error‑free signal delivery into the transport system.
