Alcatel Lucent 3AL79113BABA Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR routers / Metrospan DWDM-SDH / OmniPCX Optical Transmission Module

The Alcatel Lucent 3AL79113BABA is a matrix card, marked MATR-SMX on the supplier record. In Alcatel-Lucent’s optical multi-service nodes the matrix is the centre of the shelf: it cross connects virtual containers between every port card fitted and distributes the synchronisation the whole node runs on. Because everything else in the shelf depends on it, matrix cards are normally fitted in pairs so that a failure does not take the node down.

Alcatel-Lucent’s 1660 SM and its siblings in the optical multi-service node range combine SDH transport with packet switching in one shelf. A node is built from a matrix card that performs cross connection and synchronisation, plus port cards providing E1, E3, T3, STM-1, STM-4 and STM-16 interfaces, and the shelf controller and power feeds behind them. The 3AL numbering runs across the whole family, which is why the exact code rather than the card name is what identifies a unit.
