About This Part
The Alcatel 3AL98038AD is a critical synchronous transport module designed for high-capacity optical networking applications within the Alcatel 1662 Synchronous Multiplexer product family or compatible Alcatel SDH platforms. Functioning as a SYNTH16 2.5G card, this module facilitates the transmission and reception of synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) signals at a nominal data rate of 2.5 Gigabits per second (specifically, 2.48832 Gbit/s, corresponding to STM-16). Its primary role involves aggregating lower-rate traffic streams and transporting them over long-haul or metropolitan optical fiber networks with high reliability and low latency. The module typically features optical interfaces, enabling seamless integration into existing fiber optic infrastructure, and supports various SDH functionalities, including multiplexing, demultiplexing, and cross-connect capabilities, essential for robust telecommunications backbones. This ensures efficient and stable data flow across complex network architectures. This Alcatel module is typically deployed in core and metropolitan area networks by telecommunications operators, internet service providers, and large utility companies requiring resilient and high-bandwidth transport infrastructure. It is installed within Alcatel 1662 series network elements, acting as a fundamental building block for constructing or expanding SDH rings and point-to-point links. The Part Number 3AL98038AD addresses the need for reliable, high-speed connectivity to support a diverse range of services, including traditional voice, leased lines, and foundational data transport for IP/MPLS networks. It solves the challenge of efficiently aggregating and transporting vast amounts of data over optical fiber, ensuring service continuity and quality of service for mission-critical applications. For operators looking to maintain or upgrade their existing Alcatel SDH infrastructure, this module provides a direct replacement or capacity enhancement, extending the operational life of their network investments without a complete overhaul.
