The Nortel NTCA01LK is a wavelength-specific DWDM transmitter card from Nortel’s NTCA01xx family, used in the Optera optical transmission platform’s OC-192/STM-64 (10Gbit/s) DWDM transport. Nortel documented this family with a wide range of sibling part numbers, each corresponding to a specific ITU-grid wavelength channel on the same underlying transmitter card design.
Fitted into an Optera optical shelf, the card transmits its assigned wavelength channel onto the outbound DWDM fibre, working alongside the shelf’s other common equipment (breaker/filter, shelf controller and message exchange cards) to make up a complete DWDM optical transmission system.
Optera systems were deployed by carriers for high-capacity DWDM backbone transmission. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) checks every card before it ships. Get in touch to confirm the exact wavelength and compatibility with your Optera system.
