Description:
The NTCA06FQ is a telecom optical transceiver module used in legacy Nortel transport and optical networking equipment. This part is listed in multiple telecom parts inventories as an OC-192 / STM-64 transceiver, typically operating around 1534.25 nm wavelength, indicating it supports high-speed optical links at OC-192 (10 Gb/s) or STM-64 (10 Gb/s) rates. These modules were installed in Nortel optical transport platforms and routers to provide high-capacity fiber interconnects between network nodes in carrier and enterprise backhaul networks.
