Description

Passive 8-channel CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer that aggregates wavelengths from 1470 to 1610 nm onto a single SMF pair. Includes monitor ports for non-intrusive optical power measurement and works with CWDM SFP/SFP+ optics per ITU-T G.694.2. Ideal for SAN, metro, and campus fiber consolidation.

Features

- Eight CWDM channels across 1470–1610 nm for efficient fiber utilization
- Integrated monitor ports for non-intrusive troubleshooting and performance checks
- Passive design with zero power consumption and high reliability
- Standards-based CWDM grid for broad optics interoperability
- LC duplex interface for easy integration with existing SMF infrastructure

FAQs

Q: Can I use this with CWDM SFP and SFP+ transceivers?
A: Yes. It supports CWDM optics operating on the 1470–1610 nm wavelengths as defined by ITU-T G.694.2. Ensure the link budget meets your distance and loss requirements.

Q: Do I need one unit at each end of the link?
A: Yes. For full-duplex links over a fiber pair, deploy a CWDM mux/demux at both ends.

Q: What fiber type is required?
A: Single-mode OS1/OS2 fiber with LC duplex connectors.

Q: What are the monitor ports used for?
A: They provide a low-percentage optical tap for service-safe measurements with an optical power meter or OSA.

Q: Can different data rates share the same CWDM system?
A: Yes. CWDM multiplexes by wavelength, so mixed protocols and speeds can coexist provided each uses a unique wavelength and budgets are met.
