Industrial NTK525CFE5 MUX Card

The NTK525CFE5 MUX Card is a 4x10G MUX circuit pack for the Ciena/Nortel OME6500 platform, aggregating four 10-Gbps client channels into a single 40-Gbps transport path inside the OME 6500 chassis. In planning documentation it is described as a 40G MUX OCI circuit pack with a nominal throughput of 10.709 Gb/s OTU2 RS8, enabling higher-capacity aggregation on existing OME deployments. Designed for upgrade or replacement in OME 6500 networks, this card supports multi-service transport in backbone and metro-core environments by consolidating multiple 10G streams into one high-speed line. The NTK525CFE5 designation is part of the NTK525 family used for OME 6500 MUX configurations, with related variants such as NTK525CAE5 appearing in catalogs for the same platform.
