Alcatel-Lucent 1650SM-C 1660SM ETH-MB

The Alcatel-Lucent 3AL80407AAAE02, identified as an ETH-MB for the 1650SM-C and 1660SM platforms, is a critical component designed to facilitate robust Ethernet service delivery within optical transport networks. This main board integrates Ethernet capabilities directly into Alcatel-Lucent's Synchronous Multiplexer (SM) series, enabling these platforms to efficiently handle and transport IP-based traffic alongside traditional TDM services. It serves as the core interface for managing and processing Ethernet data flows, ensuring seamless connectivity and high-performance data transfer within complex network architectures. Typically deployed in metro and access networks, the 1650SM-C and 1660SM platforms are multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs) or optical transport network (OTN) devices. The ETH-MB is essential for service providers and enterprises looking to aggregate, transport, and groom various Ethernet services, such as enterprise VPNs, mobile backhaul, and broadband access, over a resilient optical infrastructure. While specific port configurations and throughput capacities vary by revision, this board is fundamental for enabling the platforms' Ethernet switching and routing functionalities. Revo Distribution Limited offers this refurbished Alcatel-Lucent ETH-MB to provide cost-effective, reliable solutions for network operators maintaining or expanding their existing Alcatel-Lucent infrastructure. Our inventory of such critical components supports the continued operational efficiency and longevity of these widely deployed systems.
