The Nortel NTCA40BA is a breaker/filter (fuse) module for the Optera Long Haul optical transmission shelf, a revision of the same common equipment family as the NTCA40AA. 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 in the optical shelf’s power distribution path, the breaker/filter module guards against overcurrent conditions and filters noise from the incoming DC supply before it reaches the shelf’s optical transmission electronics. Being field-replaceable, the card allows power protection to be restored on an individual shelf without a full system outage.
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.
