The Nortel NTT838AAE5 is an Optical Power Monitor (OPM) module for Nortel’s OME 6500 Common Photonic Layer (CPL) optical line system, sampling and measuring per-channel optical power across the DWDM spectrum so the shelf’s control software can balance amplifier gain and equalise channel levels across the line. OME 6500 CPL line systems remain in service across a number of established metro and regional DWDM networks, and genuine spares such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining accurate power monitoring and channel balance across the line system. Specifiers should confirm exact compatibility against their specific CPL shelf and wavelength plan before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel OME 6500 CPL components to support ongoing network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
