The Nortel NTDK16BAE5 is a 48-port Digital Line Card (DLC) for the Nortel Meridian 1 Option 11C Mini system, functionally equivalent to three of the smaller NT8D02 Digital Line Cards combined onto a single card. It provides an interface for up to 48 digital telephone sets (voice and data ports each), and on the Option 11C Mini system this card must be fitted specifically into slot 4 of the main chassis rather than any general-purpose slot; typical power consumption is around 75W with all 48 sets active off-hook simultaneously, so power budgeting matters when planning a fully-populated cabinet. It is not a required card for the Option 11C Mini to operate, but is the standard choice where high digital-set density is needed from a single slot. Genuine cards such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining or expanding line capacity on an existing Option 11C Mini deployment.
