The Nortel NTCA49AA 10 is an OC-192 filler card for Nortel’s Optera Metro / OME 6500 optical transport platform, a blank panel fitted into an unused OC-192/STM-64 transponder slot to maintain the shelf’s airflow, EMI shielding and front-panel appearance rather than carrying any active optical or electronic function. It shares the same NTCA-prefixed slot format as the platform’s active 10G XR and 10G WT transponder cards, so it is sized and keyed to fit the identical bay. OME 6500/Optera Metro shelves remain in service across a number of established metro optical transport networks, and correctly-sized fillers such as this one are a routine requirement for keeping a partially-equipped shelf within its specified thermal and EMC limits. Specifiers should confirm exact slot compatibility against their specific shelf configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Optera/OME shelf components to support ongoing network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
