About This Part
The Alcatel 3AL81289AA is an advanced interface module designed to expand the port density and service capabilities of Alcatel's modular networking platforms. This specific Part Number 3AL81289AA typically functions as a 16-port Ethernet Service (ES) card, integrating seamlessly into compatible chassis to deliver high-density connectivity. Its primary function is to provide robust Ethernet access or aggregation, supporting various subscriber or enterprise services. Technically, this module offers sixteen (16) Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports, depending on the specific revision and platform capabilities, enabling reliable data transmission. It operates within the standard Ethernet protocol stack, facilitating Layer 2 switching and potentially Layer 3 routing functionalities when paired with the host system's control plane. The module is engineered for high availability and performance, crucial for maintaining service continuity in demanding telecom and data centre environments. Its compact form factor allows for efficient slot utilization within the chassis, maximizing the overall system capacity. This Alcatel module is predominantly deployed in carrier access networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and enterprise data centres where scalable Ethernet connectivity is paramount. It is commonly installed in Alcatel-Lucent's legacy and current generation Multi-Service Access Nodes (MSANs), Ethernet Service Routers, or aggregation switches, serving as a critical component for subscriber line termination or enterprise network extensions. Telecommunication operators leverage the 3AL81289AA to deliver a wide array of services, including broadband internet, IPTV, and VoIP, to residential and business customers. Furthermore, it finds application in industries requiring robust, high-density Ethernet connectivity, such as campus networks, utility providers, and government agencies. This module effectively solves the challenge of expanding network capacity and extending service reach without requiring a complete system overhaul, often serving as an upgrade path for older, lower-density modules or as a replacement for failed units in existing infrastructure.
