WDM Multiplexers / Demultiplexers
Our article about Optical Multiplexing discussed the differences between popular WDM Technologies and the following article outlines the passive WDM multiplexers available with their respective specifications.
Introducing OptoSpan's line of passive optical BWDM, CWDM and DWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer modules that provide long haul optical communication featuring premium optical technology to expand and enhance fiber optic networks. These optical mux/demux modules provide low-cost bandwidth expansion and are easy to implement. Delivering low insertion loss, supporting protocols like ESCON, ATM, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet over each port. Multiplexer Modules are available in 6 different modes including: * 4+2 Channel CWDM * 8+1 Channel CWDM * 8 Channel expansion CWDM * 8+1 Channel DWDM * 32 Channel DWDM * and 16+1 Channel DWDM*
Key Multiplexer Features:
- Bidirectional, Coarse and Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
- Low Insertion Loss
- High Channel Isolation
- Epoxy-Free Optical Path
Multiplexer Applications:
- Metro-Core, Metro-Access and Enterprise Networks
- Enterprises with Fiber Infrastructure
- Networks requiring ATM, Escon, Fibre Channel & Gigabit Ethernet Simultaneously
- Mirroring/Replicating data to Disaster Recovery Sites
BWDM Multiplexers
BiDi Box Fiber Media Converters or Bidirectional WDM Multiplexers come in the * BiDi Box 3 * and BiDi Box 5* series. BiDi Box is a BiDirectional Multiplexer and 2 to 1 Fiber Converter. Optospan’s BiDi Box series of converters are the industry’s first bidirectional fiber optic link converters with virtually no signal loss.
The BiDi Box instantly converts any duplex optical link into a simplex suited for bi-directional optical communication. The BiDi Box 3 (operating within the 1290nm-1330nm spectrum) optical link converter features less than 1dB loss and the BiDi Box 5 (operating in 1510nm-1610nm spectrum) optical link converter with less than 1.3dB signal loss.
CWDM Multiplexers
CWDM Mux/Demux multiplexers provide the most robust and low-cost bandwidth upgrade for your current fiber optic communication networks. All our CWDM Mux Demux systems are based on thin film filter technology and metal bonding micro optics packaging. OptoSpan provides high quality CWDM with flat channel bandwidth, flexible channel configuration, low insertion loss and high isolation.
All OptoSpan products are epoxy-free in the optical path. Each CWDM module supports ESCON, ATM, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet over each port. Available in 4+2, 8+1, and 16 channel
DWDM Multiplexers
DWDM Mux Demux DWDM Mux/Demux OptoSpan DWDM multiplexers provide the most robust and low-cost bandwidth upgrade for your current fiber optic communication networks. All our DWDM systems are based on thin film filter technology and metal bonding micro optics packaging.
OptoSpan provides high quality DWDM with flat channel bandwidth, flexible channel configuration, low insertion loss and high isolation. All OptoSpan products are epoxy-free in the optical path. Each DWDM module supports ESCON, ATM, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet over each port. Available in 8+1, 16+1 and 32 channel.
