The Nortel NTCA40AA is a breaker/filter (fuse) module for the Optera Long Haul optical transmission shelf, part of Nortel’s OC-192-capable optical line system common equipment. It protects and filters the DC power feed distributed to the shelf’s OC-192/STM-64 line cards and controllers.
As a common equipment card rather than a traffic-carrying interface, the breaker/filter module sits in the optical shelf’s power distribution path, providing circuit protection against overcurrent conditions while filtering noise from the incoming DC supply before it reaches sensitive optical transmission electronics. This is a field-replaceable card, allowing power protection to be restored without taking the whole shelf out of service.
Optera Long Haul shelves were deployed by carriers for high-capacity DWDM backbone transmission at OC-192 (10Gbit/s) rates. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) checks every module before it ships. Get in touch to confirm compatibility with your Optera Long Haul system.
