DS3x12 / DS3x12e mapper
(NTN435AA, AH) / (NTN435BA)
(NTN435AA, AH) / (NTN435BA)
The DS3x12 mapper (NTN435AA, NTN435AH) and DS3x12e (NTN435BA)
mapper have 12 DS3 ports which function independently. Each mapper’s
bandwidth capacity is 12 DS3 signals added/dropped in each slot. Each
OPTera Metro 3500 shelf’s capacity is 48 DS3 add/drop signals, with 1+1
equipment protection for each circuit pack.

The DS3x12e mapper (NTN435BA) has the same functionality as the DS3x12
mapper (NTN435AA, NTN435AH), plus additional path PMs and alarms as

Equipping rules
Connectivity for the twelve DS3 signals at each slot is through the BNC
12-Port Front I/O module (NTN452JA) on the OPTera Metro 3500 shelf
(NTN476AA, NTN476DA). On the OPTera Metro 3500 Universal Shelf
(NTN476AH) you must use the BNC 12-Port Front Enhanced I/O module
(NTN452JH) or the BNC 12-Port Rear I/O module (NTN452KA).

The DS3x12 / DS3x12e mapper can be installed in slots 3 through 10. Mappers
are installed in pairs. The first mapper of the pair is installed in an odd slot. The
second mapper of the pair is installed in the adjacent even slot. The second
mapper functions as protection for the working mapper in the odd slot.
