ALCATEL 3AL97083BD -Lucent SDH Multiservice Transport Platform (1660SM/1662SM/1642 EM family) Telecom System Card / Module

The Alcatel 3AL97083BD is a 155Mbit/s (STM-1) electrical tributary port board for Alcatel-Lucent’s 1660SM / 1662SM / 1642 EM family of SDH multiservice transport platforms. It provides an electrical STM-1 interface option for engineers who need to connect equipment over coaxial/electrical STM-1 rather than optical STM-1, and plugs into the host shelf’s tributary card slots alongside the platform’s controller, cross-connect, power and other interface boards. Alcatel-Lucent’s SDH platforms in this family are widely deployed multiservice provisioning systems (MSPPs) used across metro and access transport networks to carry TDM and Ethernet traffic over SDH, and boards such as this 155Mbit/s electrical unit are a standard part of their tributary interface options. As a plug-in card it is a field-replaceable unit for engineers maintaining, expanding or repairing existing deployments rather than new-build designs, and exact host-platform compatibility should be confirmed against your shelf configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) holds new and refurbished Alcatel-Lucent SDH transmission spares – contact us to check current stock and lead time for this board.
