The NEC X1831A is a demultiplexer unit from the FOTS optical transmission range, designated FOTS-DMXR, with line and path markings. It is the receiving counterpart of the multiplexer unit: it takes the aggregate signal arriving on the fibre and separates it back into the individual tributary channels for the channel units behind it. A terminal needs both, and they are normally held as a matched pair of spares.
FOTS and the associated FD equipment are NEC transmission products from the era when optical line systems were assembled from discrete plug-in units rather than integrated cards. Multiplexers, demultiplexers, DS3 channel units, alarm control units and their power supplies each carry their own X code, and units are matched to the shelf generation they were built for. NEC has not supported this generation for many years, so spares come from held stock.
Based in the UK and shipping worldwide, Tech-Star holds NEC FOTS units for optical line terminals.
