About This Part
The Alcatel 3HE03687AA, also known as the 7450 ESS 2-PT 10G MDA-XP, is a high-performance Media Dependent Adapter (MDA) module engineered for the Alcatel 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) series. This module provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting XFP optical transceivers, enabling flexible and high-speed fiber optic connectivity. As an MDA-XP (eXtended Performance) variant, it offers enhanced forwarding capabilities and increased buffer memory, crucial for demanding carrier-grade applications. Designed to integrate seamlessly into the 7450 ESS chassis, this Part Number 3HE03687AA facilitates robust data aggregation and transport within core and edge networks. Its primary function is to extend the high-bandwidth capacity of the 7450 ESS, supporting various Ethernet services and protocols over long-reach optical links, making it a cornerstone for scalable network infrastructure. This Alcatel MDA-XP module is primarily deployed within large-scale telecommunications networks, internet service provider (ISP) infrastructures, and data center interconnects where the Alcatel 7450 ESS platform is utilized. It serves as a critical component for enabling high-density 10GE uplinks or downlinks, supporting services such as business VPNs, residential broadband, mobile backhaul, and cloud connectivity. Operators leverage the 3HE03687AA to expand their network capacity, upgrade existing 1GE or lower-speed interfaces, and ensure future-proof scalability for increasing data traffic demands. It is instrumental in building resilient and high-performance metropolitan area networks (MANs) and wide area networks (WANs), solving the challenge of delivering reliable, low-latency 10 Gigabit services across diverse network topologies for enterprise and wholesale customers.
