About This Part
The Alcatel 3AL79152AA-1670 SM 16x STM-1 OPT/EL Port is a crucial interface module designed for Alcatel-Lucent's 1670 SM (Synchronous Multiplexer) series. This module provides 16 Synchronous Transport Module, Level 1 (STM-1) interfaces, each supporting a data rate of 155.52 Mbit/s. These ports are typically utilized for connecting to optical fiber networks, enabling high-speed data transmission within SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) infrastructures. The "OPT/EL" designation indicates versatility in supporting both optical and potentially electrical connections, though optical is predominant for STM-1 applications. In telecommunications and data centre environments, the 3AL79152AA module is deployed within carrier-grade SDH transport platforms like the Alcatel-Lucent 1670 SM. Its primary function is to aggregate and de-aggregate lower-speed traffic onto higher-speed optical links, or to provide direct STM-1 connectivity for various network elements. This is essential for building robust and reliable backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and access networks, facilitating services such as leased lines, mobile backhaul, and inter-exchange carrier connectivity. It ensures efficient and synchronized transmission of voice, data, and video traffic over long distances. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in supplying high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment. The Alcatel 3AL79152AA module represents a cost-effective solution for network operators and service providers looking to maintain, expand, or upgrade their existing Alcatel-Lucent 1670 SM deployments without the significant capital expenditure of new hardware. By offering reliable, tested, and refurbished units, Revo enables businesses to extend the lifespan of their infrastructure, ensure operational continuity, and optimize their network investments with proven technology.
