Alcatel-Lucent 3AL95238CC AB06 OCC 10E Line Processing Unit

The Alcatel-Lucent 3AL95238CC AB06 OCC 10E (Optical Channel Card 10 Gigabit Ethernet) is a line processing unit engineered for high-capacity optical channel termination, processing, and transport in DWDM/OTN network platforms for metropolitan and long-haul telecommunications infrastructure. This module provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet and OTU2/STM-64/OC-192 client interface capabilities with comprehensive optical channel processing, performance monitoring, and protection switching for carrier-grade transport applications. The OCC 10E card implements advanced optical channel functionality including wavelength conversion, 3R regeneration (re-amplification, re-shaping, re-timing), forward error correction (FEC) encoding/decoding per ITU-T G.709 and G.975 specifications, and optical performance monitoring for bit error rate (BER), optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and chromatic dispersion compensation. The board features integrated tunable or fixed-wavelength optical transceivers with standardized DWDM grid spacing (100 GHz, 50 GHz, or 25 GHz) per ITU-T G.694.1, supporting transmission distances from 80 km to over 2000 km depending on network configuration and amplifier deployment. Advanced features include automatic power control (APC), wavelength stabilization, temperature compensation, hitless protection switching with sub-50ms switchover, automatic laser shutdown (ALS) for fiber break protection, and comprehensive digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for real-time visibility of optical power levels, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage. The module supports multiple client interfaces including 10GBASE-R, 10GBASE-W, STM-64/OC-192, and OTU2 with automatic client signal detection and adaptation. Integration with the transport shelf backplane provides high-speed connectivity to cross-connect matrices, optical amplifier controllers, wavelength selective switches (WSS), reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADM), and system control processors for coordinated network operation. Management interfaces include I²C, MDIO, SNMP v3, TL1, NETCONF/YANG, and proprietary element management system protocols for integration with Alcatel-Lucent's 1350 OMS, NuWave EMS, and third-party network management systems, providing access to wavelength configuration, optical power levels, FEC statistics, performance monitoring data, alarm status, and diagnostic information. The OCC 10E implements redundant protection architectures including 1+1 optical channel protection, client-side protection, and path protection switching with automatic revertive and non-revertive modes. Power is distributed via redundant −48 V DC feeds with integrated voltage regulation, current monitoring, and overcurrent protection. Environmental specifications comply with ETSI EN 300 019 Class 3.1 and NEBS GR-63 Level 3 standards, supporting continuous operation in controlled telecommunications facilities with ambient temperatures from 0 °C to +45 °C and relative humidity up to 95% non-condensing. The OCC 10E is validated for deployment in Alcatel-Lucent 1830/1850/1696MS series optical transport platforms and ensures compliance with ITU-T G.709, G.798, G.872, G.698, G.959.1, G.783, G.825, IEEE 802.3ae, and Telcordia GR-253/GR-487 standards for 10 Gigabit optical channel processing and carrier-grade transport network interoperability.
