The Nortel NTCA36BC is an STM-4 Quadcard for Nortel’s Optera Metro / OME 6500 optical transport platform, providing four independent STM-4 (622 Mbps) SDH tributary or aggregate ports on a single card within the shelf’s NTCA-prefixed line-card family. OME 6500/Optera Metro shelves multiplex and carry voice, data and video traffic over metro and regional fibre-optic networks, and their modular chassis design accepts a wide range of transponder, tributary and quad-port cards to configure each network element for its required capacity. Equipment of this generation remains in service across a number of established metro optical transport networks, and genuine spares such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full shelf capacity, restoring redundancy after a card failure, or expanding an existing installation. Specifiers should confirm exact port configuration and compatibility against their specific OME 6500/Optera Metro shelf before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Optera/OME cards to support ongoing network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
