The Nortel NTLX56AA is a fan assembly for the NTLX55AA cooling unit, part of the Nortel Passport SPM (Service Processing Module) frame: four NTLX56AA fan assemblies fit into the NTLX55AA unit to provide forced-air cooling to the SPM frame and its installed cards. The SPM is a processing shelf within the Nortel Passport data/optical networking platform, and adequate forced-air cooling is essential to keeping its cards within their thermal specification under load, particularly in a densely-packed carrier or enterprise installation. As a wear item with moving parts, fan assemblies fail more often than the static cards and backplane they cool, so genuine replacement fans such as this one are a routine and recurring maintenance requirement rather than an occasional one, and replacing a failed fan promptly protects the more expensive cards it is cooling from thermal stress. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Passport components. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
