The Nortel QPA164F is an 8-port V.24 Peripheral Interface card assembly for the Nortel DPN-100/3 packet switching system, part of the platform’s documented QPA/QPC-prefixed processor and interface card range. It provides eight V.24 (RS-232-compatible) serial ports for connecting host computers, terminals and other X.25 data terminal equipment into a DPN-100/3 packet-switching node. DPN-100 systems were Nortel’s carrier and enterprise packet data network platform, and while long superseded, genuine spares such as this one are still sought to keep legacy DPN-100/3 installations running or to support decommissioning and migration projects. Specifiers should confirm exact firmware and chassis-slot compatibility against their specific DPN-100/3 configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel DPN-100 components to support ongoing legacy network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
