In optical fiber communications, dispersion compensation modules (DCM) (also called dispersion compensation units, DCU) can be used for compensating the chromatic dispersion of, e.g., a long span of transmission fiber.
Typically, such a module provides a fixed amount of dispersion (e.g. normal dispersion in the 1.6-μm spectral region), although tunable dispersion modules are also available.
A module can easily be inserted into a fiber-optic link because it has fiber connectors for the input and output. The insertion losses may be compensated with a fiber amplifier, e.g. an erbium-doped fiber amplifier in a 1.5-μm telecom system. A dispersion-compensating module is often placed between two fiber amplifiers.

Dispersion is a key transmission property of optical fiber. After transmission through DCM fiber over a certain distance, the optical pulse signal broadens in time, causing inter-symbol interference, increasing the error rate, and degrading communication quality.
The higher the data rate is, the more easily the inter-symbol interference will present.
The longer the transmission distance is, the more easily the inter-symbol interference will present.
