The Nortel DS1404043 is a 3-Slot MDA Baseboard for the Passport 8683 POSE (Passport Optical Service Edge), part of the Passport 8600-series carrier switching family. The baseboard provides the physical mounting and backplane connectivity for up to three Media Dependent Adapters (MDAs) on the 8683 shelf, letting the platform mix and match different interface-card types within the same chassis slot group as network requirements change. Genuine Passport 8683 baseboards of this type are a routine requirement for maintaining or expanding interface capacity on installations of this generation. Confirm the exact Passport 8683 shelf configuration and MDA compatibility against your installation before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Passport 8600-series hardware to support ongoing network maintenance projects.
