CWDM Mux/Demux modules provide the most robust and low-cost bandwidth upgrade for your current fiber optic communication networks. The core of the CWDM Module application is the passive MUX/DEMUX unit. CWDM MUX/DEMUX are available in 2, 4, 8, 16, 18 channel configurations.
Each CWDM module supports Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet over each port. Available in ABS box package, LGX package, and 19" 1U rackmount. Optional wideband port for existing 1310nm or 1550nm port is available to multiplex with these CWDM Channels. Our CWDM Mux/Demux modules provide low insertion loss, high channel isolation, wide pass band, low-temperature sensitivity, and epoxy-free optical path.
CWDM multiplexes and demultiplexes 8 CWDM channels to a single fiber, 16 channels with the CWDM upgrade
Can operate as a universal bidirectional multiplexer when upgraded
Reduces space requirements with double density form factor
Low 2.5 dB multiplexing/demultiplexing insertion loss
Overlays legacy networks, including SONET, with a 1310 nm bypass channel
Eliminates the need for channel power balancing with ultra-high isolation design
Environmentally hardened for ambient operating temperatures of −40 to 85°C; suitable for outside plant applications
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
