Nortel NT0H12BAE5 10G multi-rate GbE/Fibre Channel ER transponder, fixed 1538.19nm DWDM wavelength.

The Nortel NT0H12BAE5, internal reference WMOPBE3LAC, is a 10G multi-rate optical transponder module supporting Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel client signals with extended reach (ER) and VCAT (virtual concatenation), tuned to the ITU DWDM channel at 1538.19nm (grid position B2C1). It converts client-side GbE/FC traffic onto a fixed DWDM wavelength for transport across a Nortel OPTera Metro/Ciena 6500-family network.

Extended-reach optics with VCAT support let the network carry Ethernet and storage (Fibre Channel) traffic efficiently over long DWDM spans, filling SONET/SDH-style containers without wasting bandwidth on mismatched client rates. The fixed 1538.19nm wavelength means it’s built for a specific channel slot on a DWDM multiplexer, not a tunable or grey optic.

This is a spares/replacement item for sites running that specific DWDM channel plan. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) checks every transponder module before it ships. Get in touch to confirm compatibility with your DWDM channel plan.
