The Nortel NT0H34AAE5 is an Optical Fibre Amplifier (OFA) module for the Nortel OPTera Metro 5200 optical transport platform, operating in the C-band. OPTera Metro 5200 is one of the OPTera Metro family of SDH/DWDM metro transmission systems also represented elsewhere in this catalogue by the NT0H/NTEU/NTPM/NTKD-prefixed card range, and an OFA module boosts the optical signal to compensate for fibre span loss, extending the reach of a DWDM link before regeneration is needed. C-band (around 1530-1565nm) is the standard amplification window for erbium-doped fibre amplifiers and is where the great majority of DWDM channel plans, including OPTera Metro’s, are defined. OFA modules of this kind are typically deployed at line-amplifier sites or within a terminal shelf on longer metro spans where passive loss alone would leave insufficient optical margin at the receiving end. Genuine spares such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining an existing OPTera Metro 5200 deployment. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel OPTera Metro components.
