Description:
The Nortel NTN442AL is a legacy OC-48 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical circuit pack (CP) designed for the Nortel Optera Metro / OM3500 optical transport platform a modular DWDM system deployed by carriers and service providers for high-capacity metro and backbone fiber networks. As part of the NTN442 series, the NTN442AL is specifically configured to operate on Band 1, Channel 3 of the DWDM wavelength grid, providing OC-48 (≈2.5 Gbps) optical transport capability at a specific wavelength (generally around 1530.33 nm).
