The ALCATEL 3AL78849AA is an HPROT (High-Speed Protection) access card for the Alcatel-Lucent 1660SM and 1662SMC synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) multiservice provisioning platforms. It plugs into the access area of the subrack, in slots 2 to 9 and 13 to 20, and provides equipment-level protection switching for the high-speed tributary and aggregate signal paths carried through the shelf, safeguarding traffic continuity if a working card or path fails. As part of the 1660SM/1662SMC access card family, the HPROT works alongside tributary interface cards such as the P3E3T3 and aggregate STM-N optical cards to maintain resilient SDH ring and point-to-point transport in metro and regional networks. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks tested ALCATEL 3AL78849AA cards for engineers maintaining legacy Alcatel-Lucent SDH estates.
