The Nortel NTCA04QP is a 10G XR (Extended Reach) transponder card for Nortel’s Optera Metro / OME 6500 optical transport platform, providing an OC-192/STM-64 (10 Gbps) SDH/SONET interface over an extended-reach optical span. It belongs to the documented NTCA-prefixed transponder family used across the platform’s 10G line-card range, alongside the sibling NTCA07 10G WT (wavelength transponder) cards also stocked by Tech-Star. OME 6500/Optera Metro shelves multiplex and carry voice, data and video traffic over metro and regional fibre-optic networks, and remain in active service across a number of established telecoms deployments, where genuine transponder spares such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full circuit capacity, restoring redundancy after a card failure, or expanding an existing installation. Exact reach and wavelength depend on the card’s specific optical variant, so specifiers should confirm compatibility against their shelf configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks Nortel Optera/OME transponder cards to support ongoing network maintenance. Please contact our sales team to confirm exact compatibility and for current stock and pricing.
