Description
Nortel Meridian QPC237C 4-Wire E&M Trunk Card PBX Telephone System Module
The Nortel Meridian QPC237C is a 4-Wire E&M Trunk Card designed for use in Nortel Meridian PBX systems. E&M (Ear & Mouth, also known as recEive and transMit) is an analog trunk signaling interface used to connect a PBX to external telephone equipment such as tie lines, foreign exchange (FX) circuits, and voice recorders. The 4-wire configuration provides separate transmit and receive paths, offering better signal quality and isolation than 2-wire designs.

Applications
The QPC237C E&M Trunk Card is used in Nortel Meridian 1 PBX systems to interface with analog tie lines and special-purpose circuits requiring E&M signaling. E&M trunk cards like this one connect the PBX to inter-office tie trunks, voice logging recorders, radio dispatch systems, and off-premise extensions. The Meridian 1 was one of Nortel's flagship enterprise PBX platforms, widely deployed in large corporate, government, and institutional environments from the 1980s through the 2000s. These cards remain in demand for facilities still operating legacy Meridian 1 systems that require spare or replacement trunk interface cards to maintain their telephony infrastructure.
This Nortel Meridian QPC237C 4-Wire E&M Trunk Card has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It was pulled from a working PBX environment where it was previously in service. The card shows normal wear consistent with use in a rack-mounted telephony system. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
