About This Part
The Alcatel 3HE00032AA is a high-density 8-port OC3/STM1 Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) Modular Daughter Card (MDA) designed for the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR) series. This robust interface module integrates seamlessly into the 7750 SR chassis, providing essential connectivity for service provider and enterprise networks requiring reliable, high-bandwidth optical transport. Each of the eight ports supports OC3 (Optical Carrier Level 3) or STM1 (Synchronous Transport Module Level 1) data rates, delivering a nominal speed of 155.52 Mbps per port. The Part Number 3HE00032AA facilitates the encapsulation of IP packets directly over SONET/SDH frames, optimizing efficiency for core and aggregation network segments. Its primary function is to enable the routing and forwarding of packetized data traffic over established optical infrastructure, ensuring low latency and high throughput for critical applications. This MDA is crucial for extending the reach and capacity of the 7750 SR platform in environments where legacy SONET/SDH networks coexist with modern IP/MPLS infrastructures, providing a versatile solution for diverse network requirements. Typically deployed in the core, aggregation, or edge layers of large-scale telecommunications networks, the Alcatel 3HE00032AA MDA is installed within the modular slots of the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR chassis. This platform is widely adopted by Tier-1 and Tier-2 service providers, internet exchange points (IXPs), and large enterprises with extensive WAN requirements. It supports critical network functions such as IP/MPLS routing, VPN services, and high-speed internet access delivery. The module addresses the challenge of integrating packet-based services over existing or new SONET/SDH optical transport infrastructure, allowing operators to leverage their fiber assets efficiently. It is frequently used to upgrade or expand the capacity of older network segments, replacing lower-density or end-of-life interface cards, thereby extending the operational lifespan and enhancing the performance of the overall network architecture. Its multi-service capabilities make it ideal for converging voice, video, and data traffic onto a unified optical backbone, providing a resilient and scalable solution for evolving network demands.
