The Alcatel-Lucent 3AL86607AA is the equipment shelf (subrack) for the 1696 Metro Span, Alcatel-Lucent’s metro DWDM optical transport platform. The shelf provides the physical mounting, backplane and card-cage the mux/demux, amplifier, attenuation, controller and power cards plug into, forming the base unit an operator builds a 1696 Metro Span node around. Shelves of this generation remain in service across established metro and regional fibre networks. A genuine secondary-market shelf like this one is routinely used to expand capacity, replace a damaged unit, or build a new node from spare cards already held in stock. Confirm compatibility against your specific 1696 Metro Span configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies Alcatel-Lucent components for ongoing network maintenance.
