Alcatel OME25HP Filter Cartridge – 107494

The Alcatel OME25HP is a high‑performance filter cartridge, identified by part number 107494. This consumable component is designed for use in Alcatel telecom equipment racks, cabinets, and cooling systems to trap airborne dust, dirt, and particulates, thereby protecting sensitive electronic components from contamination and ensuring optimal thermal management.

Product Overview

The OME25HP cartridge is a pleated filter media housed in a sturdy frame. It is specifically engineered to fit into designated filter slots in Alcatel fan trays and ventilation panels. The filter material features a progressive density gradient that captures large particles on the surface and finer particles deeper within the media, increasing dust‑holding capacity and extending service life. The high‑performance (HP) variant offers enhanced particle capture efficiency, suitable for environments with high dust loads.

Regular replacement of the filter cartridge is essential to maintain proper airflow and cooling efficiency. Clogged filters can lead to elevated temperatures, reduced equipment reliability, and premature component failure.

Application and Maintenance

This filter cartridge is used in Alcatel‑Lucent 7750, 7450, and 7210 routers, as well as in OmniSwitch and optical transport shelves. It is also compatible with many third‑party racks that adhere to the same filter standard. Replacement should be performed at intervals recommended by the system’s environmental monitoring (usually 3‑6 months depending on ambient dust levels). Visual inspection and pressure differential measurement can indicate when replacement is due.

Dispose of used filters according to local regulations; the media is non‑hazardous and can be incinerated.

Conclusion

The Alcatel OME25HP filter cartridge (107494) is a critical maintenance item for ensuring reliable telecom equipment operation. Its efficient dust removal, robust construction, and easy replacement make it an essential component for system longevity and performance.
