The Nortel NTBP71CB is an E3 Function Processor for the Passport/MSS multiservice switching platform, part of the NTBP-prefixed function-processor family alongside the E1 and general-purpose FP variants already established in this catalogue’s Passport/MSS range. It terminates E3 (34Mbit/s) tributary circuits and hands their traffic to the shelf’s switching fabric, giving a Passport/MSS shelf higher-capacity trunk aggregation than an equivalent E1 card. Passport/MSS shelves of this generation remain in service in a number of established carrier networks, and genuine E3 function-processor spares are a routine requirement for maintaining full trunk capacity or restoring redundancy after a card failure. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Passport/MSS cards to support ongoing network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
