Product Description
The Ciena NTK761AA is a high-density 40-port 10GbE SFP+ Packet/OTN Interface Module for the Ciena 6500 T-Series Packet-Optical Platform. Designed for large-scale service aggregation and transport applications, the module provides up to forty 10GbE client interfaces while supporting packet and Optical Transport Network (OTN) services within a single converged platform. It enables service providers and enterprise operators to efficiently aggregate large volumes of 10G traffic and transport them across metro, regional, and long-haul optical networks.
The NTK761AA is part of the 6500-T architecture, which combines packet switching, OTN switching, and DWDM transport capabilities into a single platform, allowing flexible service delivery and scalable bandwidth growth.
