Nokia 3KC13159AA DWDM Filter Card | 1830 PSS

Nokia (Alcatel‑Lucent) 3KC13159AA PTPIO Precision Time Protocol I/O Card

3KC13159AA PTPIO is an active timing interface card for the Nokia 1830 PSS optical transport platform. It delivers adaptation for transporting IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) timing signals over WDM optical links, working in conjunction with the PTPCTL timing control card for end‑to‑end synchronization.

Product Overview

Part Number: 3KC13159AA
Card Identifier: PTPIO
Configuration: PTP timing signal adaptation interface
Core Function: IEEE 1588 PTP signal conversion & transmission over WDM links, timing synchronization
Supported Platform: Nokia 1830 PSS‑4, PSS‑8, PSS‑16, PSS‑32, PSS‑36 OCS, PSS‑64 OCS

The PTPIO card is an active timing blade designed for accurate frequency and time synchronization in optical transport networks. It adapts PTP clock signals so they can be carried across DWDM WDM infrastructure. It must be deployed paired with a PTPCTL card within the 1830 PSS shelf. Please confirm shelf chassis model, slot assignment and software release compatibility before installation.

Key Features

• PTPIO Precision Time Protocol I/O card for Nokia 1830 PSS transport systems
• IEEE 1588 PTP support, enables PTP timing transport over WDM optical links
• Works cooperatively with PTPCTL timing control card for complete synchronization
• Active timing board, requires power and NSP / 5620 SAM software configuration
• Critical for mobile backhaul, 5G, utility and railway networks requiring high‑precision time sync
• Hot‑swappable design for in‑service maintenance and replacement

Compatibility Notice

3KC13159AA PTPIO is a dedicated active timing synchronization interface blade, not a DWDM filter, amplifier, muxponder or WSS card. Its purpose is PTP clock signal adaptation rather than wavelength splitting/combining. Supported on Nokia 1830 PSS‑4, PSS‑8, PSS‑16, PSS‑32, PSS‑36 OCS and PSS‑64 OCS chassis. Confirm chassis model, software release, shelf type and pairing with PTPCTL prior to ordering and deployment.
