About This Part
The Alcatel-Lucent M4-CHOC3-CES-SFP is a critical networking module engineered for service providers and enterprises. It enables the seamless integration of traditional Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) services, such as legacy voice and data circuits over OC-3, onto modern packet-switched networks like IP/MPLS. This is achieved through Circuit Emulation Service (CES), which encapsulates TDM traffic into packets, allowing it to traverse an Ethernet or IP backbone while maintaining the timing and quality of the original TDM service. This module is essential for network modernization, allowing operators to retire older TDM infrastructure while continuing to support existing customer services. The "CHOC3" in its name signifies its capability to provide channelized OC-3 interfaces, offering a data rate of 155.52 Mbps per port, which can be further broken down into multiple lower-speed channels. The "SFP" designation indicates that the module utilizes Small Form-factor Pluggable transceivers, providing flexibility in choosing appropriate optical interfaces for various distances and fiber types. This modularity simplifies inventory management and allows for easy upgrades or changes in network connectivity requirements. It typically integrates into Alcatel-Lucent's service router platforms, such as the 7750 Service Router series, enhancing their multi-service capabilities. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing high-quality used and refurbished telecom and data centre equipment. The Alcatel-Lucent M4-CHOC3-CES-SFP module represents a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to extend the life of their legacy services or integrate them into newer packet infrastructures without significant capital expenditure on new hardware. Our rigorously tested and certified refurbished units ensure reliable performance, offering an excellent value proposition for network operators seeking to optimize their infrastructure investments. By stocking such essential components, Revo supports network continuity and modernization efforts across various industries.
