About This Part
The Nortel NTN438BA is a specialized Gigabit Ethernet mapper module designed for integration into Nortel Networks' carrier-grade networking platforms. This module facilitates the efficient transport of 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet traffic over long-haul or metropolitan area networks. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm, the NTN438BA adheres to the IEEE 802.3z standard for 1000BASE-LX, supporting reliable data transmission over single-mode fiber optic cables for distances typically up to 5 kilometers. Its primary function is to encapsulate and map native Gigabit Ethernet frames into a suitable transport format, enabling seamless integration with existing optical or packet-over-SONET/SDH infrastructure. This ensures high-bandwidth connectivity and robust performance for critical data services. The module's design emphasizes low latency and high throughput, crucial for modern telecommunications and data center interconnect applications. The Part Number NTN438BA is typically deployed within Nortel Networks' extensive portfolio of optical and data transport systems, including multiservice provisioning platforms and core routing solutions. Its integration allows telecommunication operators, internet service providers, and large enterprise networks to extend their Gigabit Ethernet services across metropolitan and regional distances. This module addresses the critical need for high-speed, reliable data transport, enabling the interconnection of data centers, central offices, and enterprise campuses. It effectively solves challenges related to network expansion, capacity upgrades, and the provision of robust Ethernet Private Line (EPL) or Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL) services. By leveraging the NTN438BA, organizations can upgrade existing infrastructure to support higher bandwidth demands without a complete forklift upgrade, thereby maximizing the utility of their installed Nortel Networks equipment and ensuring continued service delivery for mission-critical applications.
