Alcatel-Lucent 3HE08429AA SFM

The Alcatel-Lucent 3HE08429AA is a high-capacity Switch Fabric Module (SFM5-7) designed for use in the Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR-7) platform. Acting as the central switching and interconnection component of the chassis, this module delivers scalable, non-blocking data throughput for next-generation IP/MPLS networks. It ensures high-speed communication between all installed line cards, supporting advanced routing, QoS, and traffic management functions across the system.

Built on a high-performance switching architecture, the 3HE08429AA enables massive data forwarding capacity and low-latency packet delivery. It supports full-duplex operation and resilient redundancy configurations, ensuring uninterrupted service in carrier-grade environments. The module integrates with the system control plane to dynamically allocate bandwidth, manage traffic priorities, and maintain synchronization across network elements. Engineered for long-term reliability and operational efficiency, the module offers low power consumption and optimized airflow for cooling within the chassis. It is hot-swappable, allowing replacement during live operation without network downtime. The 3HE08429AA is fully compliant with Alcatel-Lucent’s SR OS (Service Router Operating System), supporting multiple Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols for flexible network integration.
