Nortel compatible NTTP30CF Description
NTTP30CF is the Nortel part number for a 10G SFP+. Ciena acquired Nortel's optical networking business in 2010, but the NTTP30CF part number persisted for ordering replacement modules on both legacy Nortel and current Ciena equipment. It also appears as NTTP30CFE6 (the Ciena-era suffix variant) — same module, different label. EdgeOptic's compatible replaces both, built on the 10G-SFP-20 platform. The OEM version is a 10GBASE-LR rated to 10 km; the compatible does 20 km with a 9 dB optical budget, which extends reach on metro OME 6500 rings that have grown beyond the original distance plan.
1310 nm DFB laser, PIN receiver, 9 dB optical budget — 20 km on standard single-mode at typical attenuation (0.35 dB/km plus connectors and splices). Actual reach depends on fiber age, splice count, and connector condition. SFF-8431/8432 compliant, duplex LC/UPC, OS1 or OS2 fiber. Commercial temp, 0-70 °C.
Multi-rate from 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps — 10GbE, GbE, STM-64 at 9.95 Gbps, OTU2 with FEC. The NTTP30CF appears in legacy Nortel OPTera Metro 3000/3500 boxes and OME 6500 platforms, plus their Ciena successors like the 5170. For operators maintaining a mixed Nortel/Ciena network, one EdgeOptic SKU covers all of them — simplifying spares inventory considerably. Confirm the specific platform version with EdgeOptic before ordering. Full specs on the 10G-SFP-20 product page.
DDM per SFF-8472 — TX/RX power, temp, bias current, voltage. On Ciena equipment running SAOS, third-party SFP+ modules can show either "Ena" (enabled) or "UCTF" (uncertified transceiver) depending on how the host reads the EEPROM coding. UCTF is informational only — it doesn't block traffic. EdgeOptic programs Nortel/Ciena vendor ID into the EEPROM, but the exact SAOS status can vary by platform version. Confirm the expected behavior for the specific deployment with EdgeOptic sales.
CE/RoHS certified, Class 1 laser safety. For legacy Nortel/Ciena networks with aging spares inventory, a compatible module that covers both part numbers and adds 10 km of additional reach is a practical upgrade path. Questions about platform compatibility or volume pricing — contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the NTTP30CF compatible show a UCTF alarm on Ciena 6500, and does that affect traffic?
Depends on the SAOS version. Some Ciena platforms show "Ena" (enabled), others show "UCTF" (uncertified transceiver) for third-party modules. Either way, traffic passes normally — UCTF is informational, not a traffic blocker. EdgeOptic codes this module with Nortel/Ciena vendor ID. For specifics on SAOS status behavior, confirm the platform version with EdgeOptic sales.
Is the Nortel NTTP30CF the same as the Ciena NTTP30CFE6?
Functionally, yes. NTTP30CF is the original Nortel part number. NTTP30CFE6 is the Ciena-era suffix — same 10G SFP+ at 1310 nm, same 10 km OEM rating. When Ciena acquired Nortel's optical portfolio in 2010, they kept the NTTP numbering. EdgeOptic's compatible covers both part numbers with one module, built on the 10G-SFP-20 platform with a 9 dB budget for 20 km reach.
Can the NTTP30CF compatible be used on spans shorter than 20 km, for example in a 10 km OME 6500 ring?
Yes. A 20 km module on a 10 km ring provides extra margin — beneficial on aging fiber. Replacing a failed 10 km NTTP30CF in an OME 6500 ring with the 20 km compatible is a direct drop-in. No configuration changes, no receiver overload issues at these distances.
