The Nortel NTN438AA is a 2-port 1000Base-SX card for the OPTera Metro 3500 (OM3500) platform, providing two multimode Gigabit Ethernet interfaces at 850nm for short-reach client connections into the OM3500 shelf. The OM3500 was one of Nortel’s metro optical transport platforms, and 1000SX client cards like this one are the standard way of bringing a Gigabit Ethernet feed onto the ring. Port count and optical interface are fixed at the card, so confirm the exact card slot and shelf revision before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) holds Nortel equipment for maintenance and expansion projects. Please contact our sales team for availability, condition and pricing.
