Alcatel 1AB196340012 optical transmission equipment Optical Transmission Module

The Alcatel 1AB196340012 is an SFP optical transceiver module for Alcatel optical transmission equipment. Parts in this range are ordered by their part number rather than by description, because several share a physical format and are told apart only by the number printed on the label. A part of this kind is held as a spare because a failure takes the function it serves out of use until it is replaced, and equipment of this generation is no longer supplied new by the manufacturer. Where a revision is marked, it forms part of the identification rather than being a batch code, because revisions are qualified against particular software releases. Match the part number and revision against the unit you are replacing before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies Alcatel hardware for maintenance and spares holding.
