The Nortel NTT861BBE5 is a Serial 8-Channel Mux/Demux Open (SCHM08-0) circuit pack for the Nortel Optical Multiservice Edge (OME) 6500 platform, Group 2, operating around the 1537nm wavelength band. Multiplexer/demultiplexer cards of this type combine or separate multiple individual DWDM wavelength channels onto or from a single shared fibre, allowing the OME 6500 to carry many independent optical circuits over one physical fibre pair. This card fits into a compatible OME 6500 shelf alongside transponder and aggregate cards to build out a complete DWDM optical transport node, with the specific wavelength group determining which channel set it can combine. OME 6500 deployments of this generation remain in service across a number of established optical transport networks, and genuine circuit packs such as this one are a routine requirement for maintaining full DWDM channel capacity. Specifiers should confirm the exact wavelength group and shelf compatibility against their specific OME 6500 configuration before ordering.
