About This Part
The Alcatel-Lucent Electrical Access 16xSTM1 module is a crucial component designed for telecommunications networks, specifically within Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) infrastructures. This module provides 16 independent STM-1 (Synchronous Transport Module - level 1) electrical interfaces, enabling high-capacity access and aggregation capabilities. It is typically deployed in Alcatel-Lucent multiplexers, cross-connects, or multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs) to facilitate the connection of various network elements, customer premises equipment, or legacy systems requiring robust and reliable electrical connectivity. Each STM-1 interface operates at a data rate of 155.52 Mbit/s, making this module suitable for aggregating traffic from multiple E3/DS3 lines, connecting to digital cross-connect systems, or extending SDH/SONET services over electrical rather than optical links for shorter distances or specific equipment interfaces. Its role is vital in bridging different network segments, ensuring seamless data flow, and providing the necessary bandwidth for voice, data, and video services in carrier-grade environments. The module's electrical nature ensures compatibility with a wide range of existing infrastructure. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in supplying used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment, and the Alcatel-Lucent Electrical Access 16xSTM1 module is a prime example of the value we offer. As network operators seek to maintain, expand, or upgrade their existing Alcatel-Lucent SDH/SONET networks cost-effectively, reliable refurbished parts like this are essential. By providing tested and guaranteed modules, Revo enables customers to extend the lifespan of their infrastructure, reduce capital expenditure, and ensure operational continuity without compromising performance.
