CWDM technology provides the flexibility to increase capacity of existing fiber infrastructure by enabling multiple channels/wavelengths over the same fiber cabling. Each channel carries data independently from each other, allowing network designers to transport different data rates.
It's protocol and rate transparent supporting such applications as 1G/10G Ethernet, SDH/SONET, and 8/4/2/1G Fiber Channel across the same fiber link.
Multiplexing of up to 16 channels on fiber pair
Low insertion loss
1U 19'' low profile modular design
1% monitor port for Tx and Rx, ensures easy troubleshooting without downtime
Duplex LC/UPC, easily support duplex patch cables between the transceiver and passive unit
Compliant to ITU-T G.694.2 standard and Telcordia GR1209, GR1221
Standard 16-channel CWDM band 1270 nm-1570 nm, 20 nm spacing
Based on thin-film filter technology
Passive, no electric power required. (MTBF ca. 500 years)
Maximizes fiber in local loop applications
Overlays CWDM with existing1310 nm transmission systems
Provides bidirectional transmission on a single fiber
Supports linear (bus) add/drop architectures
Supports hub-and-spoke ring architectures
ITU-T G.694.2 and G.695
