ALCATEL 3AL97045AAAA -Lucent 1642 EMUX Telecom System Card / Module

The Alcatel 3AL97045AAAA is catalogued as an E1RCB8 interface board for the Alcatel-Lucent 1642 EMUX multiservice access platform. The 1642 EMUX is part of Alcatel-Lucent’s Optical Multi-Service Node (OMSN) family, a compact SDH/MSTP edge multiplexer built to combine legacy E1 (2Mbit/s) TDM tributary traffic with packet-based Ethernet access services over a single shelf, and boards such as this E1RCB8 unit provide the E1 tributary interface density the platform needs in access and metro deployments. As a plug-in card, it fits into the 1642 EMUX shelf alongside the platform’s controller, power and Ethernet boards, and is supplied as a field-replaceable unit for engineers maintaining, expanding or repairing existing 1642 EMUX installations rather than for new-build network designs. Exact revision and firmware level should be confirmed against your existing shelf configuration before ordering, since Alcatel-Lucent issued this board across a small number of hardware revisions. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) holds new and refurbished Alcatel-Lucent 1642 EMUX spares – contact us to confirm current stock and compatibility for this board.
