The 401547 REV A Digital Lightwave NGMR2 Board is a NextGeneration Multi-Rate module designed for integration into the Digital Lightwave NIC NXG chassis. This hot-swappable card enables protocol analysis, network emulation, and service assurance across optical and IP network testing environments. The NGMR2 board supports SONET/SDH at rates from 51 Mbps to 10 Gbps, OTN protocols (OTU-1, OTU-2), Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet with FEC, and advanced features including VCAT, LCAS, and GFP. Its modular architecture allows deployment within the NIC or NIC+ chassis platform, which operates from 90–264 VAC, 50–60 Hz input and dissipates 150 W (NIC) or 350 W (NIC+). The board connects via standard Ethernet and protocol-specific interfaces supported by the NIC platform.
