Tellabs 82.71228‑IR‑R5 is an optical add/drop module designed for use in Tellabs (and compatible) optical transport and SONET/SDH systems — particularly in the 7100 series network platform. It serves as an 88‑channel optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) unit, used to insert or extract specific wavelengths on a fiber optic network without requiring full demultiplexing, enabling efficient wavelength management and scalable network designs.
This module is typically deployed in carrier, metro, and backbone telecom infrastructure where optical channel routing and wavelength multiplexing are required for high‑capacity fiber links. It supports IR (intermediate reach) optical modules for systems that need effective long‑haul fiber signal handling.
