Description:
The Nortel NTOH83A is a legacy 10 Gigabit enhanced optical transport transponder card manufactured by Nortel Networks for deployment in carrier‑grade optical transport systems such as the Optical Metro 5000 / OM5200 (Optera Metro) platform. Designed for use in high‑capacity metro and backbone fiber networks, this module supports full‑duplex 10 Gbps optical transmission and reception on fixed DWDM/CWDM wavelengths, enabling wavelength‑layered transport, multi‑channel aggregation, and long‑haul optical connectivity.
