Alcatel OC-5000-1068 Optical Transceiver Module

Alcatel OC-5000-1068 Optical Transceiver Module is a six-port, 1000BASE-SX multimode-fiber transceiver module designed for Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch OC-5000 switches. Also cataloged as OC-5000-1068, 300-1068-1, and 5052, this white-housed module expands Gigabit Ethernet capacity by providing six 1000BASE-SX interfaces on a single module. It uses multimode fiber for short-reach links and is intended for deployment in enterprise networks that require multiple SX connections in a compact form factor. The module is part of Alcatel-Lucent’s transceiver ecosystem and is referenced in catalogs as a 6-port 1000BASE-SX MMF GB MODULE for OC-5000-series platforms, making it suitable for campus aggregation, data-center access, and edge networking where space and port density matter. With the OC-5000-1068 designation and its alternate codes, it can be matched to compatibility guides and replacement-part listings in spare parts inventories. The white version is one of several color variants used across the OC-5000 transceiver family, enabling technicians to identify and inventory modules easily within dense rack deployments.
