TruePulse would like to purchase Nortel Optera 3500 OC-48 boards NTN442BA and NTN442CA.   They may also be known as Ciena NTN442BA and Ciena NTN442CA.

The Optical Metro 3500 network element is a multiservice platform offering dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). It offers 60 Gbps of capable switch capacity in a compact package — suited for the metropolitan fiber-optic networks applications, including new generation Optical Ethernet services and storage connectivity services.

Optical Metro 3500 Multiservice Platform is configured with universal expansion slots for adding a custom mix of DS1, DS3, DS3/VT Transmux, EC-1/ STS-1, storage (Fibre Channel and FICON), Ethernet (10/100 Base-T, 100 Base-FX and 1000 Base-SX/LX), OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and interface modules such as the DS1 Service Module (DSM).  The platform is currently supported by Ciena.

The NTN442xx series are OC-48 DWDM interface cards for the OM3500 that are each specific to a certain wavelength. TruePulse is actively searching for:

NTN442BA, HECI code SOCPABN, is an OM3500 LR OC-48 DWDM interface B2 Ch 1, C-band, 1538.19nm

NTN442CA, HECI code SOCPACN, is an OM3500 LR OC-48 DWDM interface B3 Ch 1, C-band, 1547.72nm

TruePulse is looking for other OM3500 cards too.  In addition, we are searching for other Nortel optical transport platforms such as the Optera HDX and the Nortel Media Gateway 9000.

Please let us know what you have for sale.
