Ciena NTK529BBE5 10X10G Mux Multi-Protocol XFP Module

Ciena NTK529BBE5 is a 10x10G Mux Multi-Protocol XFP circuit pack designed for high-density client multiplexing on the OM65XX 100G transport platform family. As the dedicated client card, it multiplexes ten 10G client interfaces into a single 100G path and is documented as the NTK529BBE5 client card, typically paired with line card NTK539UD in configurations such as eDC100G WL3 OCLD Metro. This multirate XFP circuit pack supports multiple client protocols within the same chassis and forms the client side of the 100G WL3 coherent transport solution. In related deployments, reach specifications of 100 km or 150 km are associated with the family’s 10x10G/Mux configurations, reflecting its role in fiber‑based, long‑haul networks.
