The Alcatel 3AL78815AB is an S-1.1 class optical interface module with an SC/PC connector, a short-reach optical interface for the 1660SM/1696 Metro Span platform. 1660SM and its 1696 Metro Span successor are Alcatel’s (now Nokia’s) SDH/DWDM metro transmission platforms, built as modular shelves populated with tributary, line, alarm and optical interface cards. 1660SM/1696 Metro Span equipment of this generation remains in active service across many established SDH/DWDM transmission network deployments, and genuine spares such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full system capacity, restoring redundancy after a component failure, or expanding an existing installation. Confirm the exact platform revision and slot configuration before ordering, as fit can vary across generations of the same family. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies Alcatel 1660SM/1696 Metro Span hardware to keep existing installations running.
