Alcatel-Lucent-Nokia 3HE08429AARC01 Switching Module

The 3HE08429AARC01 is the Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR Switch Fabric Module (SFM) for the SFM5-7 family, designed to reside in 7750 Service Router chassis to provide the dedicated fabric pathway that interconnects the system’s line cards and control plane components in SR-7 deployments. This listing indicates the unit ships without any cards installed, i.e., no CPM5 or other modules are included. In typical configurations the SFM5-7 is paired with a CPM5 to form the SF/CPM module that powers the router’s switching fabric, enabling the high-speed interconnect required by service providers for dynamic, packet-forwarding workloads. The 3HE08429AARC01 part number corresponds to the SFM5-7 Switching Module within the 7750 SR family, intended for use with Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR-7 platform installations. When correctly assembled with the CPM5 and compatible line-cards, this SFM5-7 module supports a carrier-grade interconnect backbone for IP/MPLS services, VPNs, and other backbone networking tasks.
